Exclusion Criteria

  • Presence of tracheostomy or permanent assisted ventilation.
  • SVC less than 65%.
  • Abnormal liver function defined as aspartate aminotransferase and/or alanine aminotransferase > 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) and/or total bilirubin > 1.5 times the ULN (obtained within 4 weeks of first dose) except when a result of Gilbert syndrome.
  • Abnormal renal function defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \< 60 mL/min/1.73m2.
  • Other laboratory abnormalities, including abnormalities in platelet count, international normalized ratio, prothrombin time, and activated partial thromboplastin time.
  • Pregnant women (confirmed by a pregnancy test within 7 days prior to first dose) or women currently breastfeeding.
  • Current or previous clinically significant, unstable medical condition (other than ALS), that in the opinion of the Investigator could affect a participant's safety or ability to comply with the study.
  • Significant abnormalities in physical/neurological examination, vital signs, or electrocardiogram (ECG), which in the opinion of the Investigator could affect the safety of the participant.
  • Presence of unstable psychiatric disease, cognitive impairment, dementia or substance abuse that could affect the participant's ability to provide informed consent or comply with study procedures.
  • Current or previous enrollment in another trial involving use of an investigational therapy, in most cases within 30 days after the last dose of the study drug, prior to starting this study.
  • Current or previous treatment with small interfering ribonucleic acid, stem cell therapy, any ASO or gene therapy.
  • Any contraindications for lumbar puncture or repeated intrathecal injection and/or underlying disorders that could be affected by intrathecal injections.
