NCT07290062 · Insmed Gene Therapy LLC
A Study to Investigate the Safety and Pharmacodynamics of a Single Intrathecal Injection (IT) of INS1202 in Participants With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
(ARMOR)
What this study is about
The primary objective of this dose-finding study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and how the drug affects the body of single dose of INS1202 via IT administration in participants ≥ 18 to \<80 years of age with ALS who carry superoxide dismutase type 1 (SOD1) mutations or harbor no known ALS-related genetic mutation.

This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
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.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
