Inclusion: 18-75 years of age (inclusive of 18 and 75 years), regardless of gender; Diagnosed of definite or probable ALS according to the revised EI Escorial criteria; Respiratory function FVC at baseline was ≥70% of the predicted value (FVC%); Patients with birth-potential (both male and female) must agree to use effective non-drug contraceptive measures from the time of signing the informed consent until 6 months after the conclusion of the trial; Volunteer to participate in the clinical study, understand and sign the informed consent form.

Exclusion: Acute active infections requiring antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals that occurred within the 2 weeks prior to screening and are not controlled; Previous or detected cardiac abnormalities; Previous history of bleeding, abnormal clotting, or being treated with anticoagulation; Those who have had a malignant tumor within 5 years prior to screening or are undergoing antitumor therapy; Have participated in other clinical trials within 3 months prior to screening; Significant psychiatric disorders that the investigator assesses may affect evaluation; Diseases causing neurological or muscular dysfunction, such as metabolic muscle diseases or myasthenia gravis; Diagnosed autoimmune diseases with uncontrolled severe arthritis or other conditions (e.g., lameness) that the investigator assesses may affect evaluation; Subject diagnosed with active pulmonary tuberculosis or treated for suspected tuberculosis; Diagnosed severe pulmonary diseases that the investigator assesses may affect evaluation; Poorly controlled hypertension; A history of cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis, or liver function at screening; A history of chronic kidney disease; Active hepatitis B, active hepatitis C, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody or treponema pallidum antibody positive at screening; History of severe trauma or surgery and may affect the assessment judged by investigator; Subjects with contraindications to lumbar puncture, including menifestations of injection site infection or high intracranial pressure; Subject has signs and symptoms of neuromuscular weakness, and other causes of muscle weakness cannot be ruled out; Baseline body mass index (BMI) < 18.5 kg/m²; Primary lateral sclerosis presenting only with upper motor neuron symptoms; Pregnant or breastfeeding women; Subject who is judged by the investigator to be unsuitable for the clinical trial.
