With help from the ALS Association, NEALS provides up-to-date information for finding both federally and privately funded clinical studies focusing on ALS and motor neuron diseases. You can locate both interventional trials, which examine if treatments are effective and safe under controlled environments, and observation trials, which examine people in more natural environments.

NEALS sources this database from public information posted on clinicaltrials.gov and other public websites. This feature is updated regularly, so please check back. If you need support please contact our ALS Trial Expert.
