Multiple ascending doses of QRL-201Multiple ascending doses of PlaceboQRL-201PlaceboQRL-201
Multiple ascending doses of QRL-201: Multiple ascending doses of QRL-201 will be intrathecally administered to individuals with sporadic ALS.
Multiple ascending doses of Placebo: Multiple ascending doses of placebo comparator will be intrathecally administered to individuals with sporadic ALS.
QRL-201: QRL-201 will be intrathecally administered to individuals with C9orf72 ALS.
Placebo: Placebo comparator will be intrathecally administered to individuals with C9orf72 ALS.
QRL-201: QRL-201 will be intrathecally administered to all participants who enter the Open-Label Extended Dosing Period.
Study summary
The primary objective of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of QRL-201 in people living with ALS

* If on approved therapies for the treatment of ALS during the course of the study, must be on a stable dose (at the Sponsor's discretion)
Exclusion Criteria (Open-Label Extended Dosing Period):
* Currently enrolled in any other clinical study involving either an investigational product (IP) or off label use of a drug or device
* Off-label use of drugs or devices that are being used as disease-modifying therapies in ALS
* Participated in another clinical study within 30 days, or 5 half-lives of the previous investigational product, whichever is greater, prior to the first dose
* Prior exposure to stem cell or gene therapy products
* Is not suitable for inclusion in the Open-Label Extended Dosing period of the study, in the opinion of the Investigator

Primary outcome measure(s)
Number of participants with one or more treatment emergent adverse events and serious adverse events — Baseline through Day 421 [End of Study Visit Endpoints: A summary of treatment emergent adverse events, serious adverse events, and other non-serious adverse events, regardless of causality, will be reported in the Reported Adverse Events module.
