Summary
Brief summary
Patients with rapidly progressive ALS will be assigned to IC14 intravenously on Day 1-4. This
4-day course will be repeated on Days 8-11. Patients will all undergo MR-PET scans at two
time points: before treatment onset and after the last treatment cycle. This scan will
measure areas of ALS disease activity and assess response to IC14 treatment. MR-PET scans
will be compared to historical controls.
