Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation had been studied in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in small and poorly designed clinical trials; as of 2013, there was insufficient evidence to know whether rTMS is safe or effective for ALS. [13]
The institute has raised and spent more than $100 million on research into effective treatments for ALS and practices open-source science. [19] After the discovery that the multiple sclerosis drug Gilenya might also be a treatment for ALS, the Institute enrolled 30 people in a Phase 2A clinical trial the drug in 2013, though it did not progress further.

The paper has clear clinical implications, as ALS TDI was unable to replicate a number of prior animals studies from the field that led to clinical trials that ultimately failed in humans. Stephen Heywood died in the fall of 2006 when his ventilator accidentally disconnected shortly before ALS TDI began a comprehensive program to use industrial ...
