About the ALS Signal Dashboard – Explore Clinical Trials
Welcome to ALS Signal, designed for and by those living with and impacted by ALS. We are so glad you want to learn more about investigational clinical trials, a way to advance our understanding of ALS and gain access to experimental treatments. This tool provides an overview of treatments and supplements that are being tested. As with all medical decisions, you should consult with your doctor about participating in a clinical trial. It can be helpful to have an understanding of available trials prior to the discussion. Having this information about ongoing and upcoming research and studies gives us hope. We truly wish the same for you.

This dashboard has two tabs:
- Clinical Research: Ongoing and upcoming clinical research being done around the world.
- Canada & US Trials: Ongoing and upcoming clinical research and expanded access programs available in Canada and the United States.
The data source for ALS Signal is clinicaltrials.gov which includes clinical trials from around the world but is most comprehensive for trials in the United States. We only include interventional trials intended to be disease modifying.
A more comprehensive global clinical trial registry is maintained by the World Health Organization
Other available tools for finding clinical trials can be found below:
- ALS Trial Navigator from the ALS Therapy Development Institute
- Trial Finder from NEALS
- I AM ALS’ Treatments & Clinical Trials webpage
In addition to creating and maintaining ALS Signal, I AM ALS’ Clinical Trials Team also created the Patient-Centric Trial Design (PaCTD) Rating Criteria to outline a standard for humane, effective, and efficient trial design.
