Clinical trial Recruiting at 9 sites Phase 1 Interventional Ages 18 to 79

Single intrathecal injection of INS1202 for adults with ALS (SOD1 or no known mutation)

Official title: A Phase 1, Multicenter, Open-label, Dose-Finding Study to Investigate the Safety and Pharmacodynamics of a Single Intrathecal Injection of INS1202 in Patients With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Run by Insmed Incorporated · NCT07290062 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study will try a single injection of INS1202 into the spinal fluid to see if it is safe and how it acts in adults with ALS who have SOD1 mutations or no known ALS gene mutation.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults 18–79 with symptomatic ALS (Gold Coast criteria), ALSFRS‑R ≥24, disease duration ≤42 months, and either a confirmed pathogenic SOD1 mutation (for SOD1 cohorts) or no known monogenic ALS mutation (for sporadic cohorts).

Probably not a fit

People with advanced disease outside the eligibility windows, prior gene or cell therapies, current investigational treatments, or those younger than 18 or older than or equal to 80 are unlikely to qualify or benefit from this single-dose study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a Phase 1, dose-finding trial administering a single intrathecal dose of INS1202 to characterize safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamics. Participants are adults aged 18 to <80 with symptomatic ALS diagnosed by Gold Coast criteria, with separate cohorts for confirmed pathogenic SOD1 mutation carriers and for sporadic ALS patients with no known monogenic mutations. Key eligibility includes BMI ≥18 kg/m2, ALSFRS-R ≥24, and disease duration ≤42 months, while prior cellular or gene therapies and other investigational treatments are excluded. The trial uses ascending single doses at three U.S. sites to define safety and biological effects in the cerebrospinal fluid and clinical measures.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If safe and biologically active, INS1202 could slow or modify disease processes for some people with ALS, particularly those with SOD1-related disease.

How similar studies have gone: Genetic-targeted approaches for SOD1 ALS, such as antisense therapies, have produced mixed but sometimes promising biological and clinical signals, so this approach builds on partially successful prior work.

Key Inclusion Criteria: -

* Participant with body mass index (BMI) ≥18 kilograms per square meter (kg/m\^2).
* Participant with symptomatic ALS as diagnosed by Gold Coast diagnostic criteria.
* Sporadic ALS cohorts: Negative testing for known monogenic mutations associated with familial ALS.
* SOD1-ALS (Cohorts 2 and 3 only): Confirmed pathogenic SOD1 mutation, with negative testing for other genetic mutations associated with familial ALS.
* Any polymorphism or mutation in the coding region will require additional review by the Sponsor to determine compatibility with the study intervention.
* Baseline ALSFRS-R ≥ 24.
* ALS disease duration ≤ 42 months.

Key Exclusion Criteria: -

* Previous treatment for ALS with cellular or gene therapies.
* Any investigational medication or treatment (for ALS or other condition).

Note: Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.
