Summary

The primary objective of this study is to confirm the efficacy of 60 mg of MCI-186 via intravenous drip once a day in patients with ALS based on the changes in the revised ALS functional rating scale (ALSFRS-R) scores after 24 weeks administration in double-blind, placebo-controlled manner. And in addition, this study will be performed to examine the safety of MCI-186 to ALS patients.
