• Use of an investigational drug for the treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in the past 30 days or 5 half-lives (if available), whichever is longer, or previous participation in a clinical study with Engensis
• Stem cell administration for investigational treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or other conditions in the 6 months prior to Screening

Más betegség

• Progressive or degenerative neurological disorder such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, vascular dementia, multiple sclerosis, and other neurological or vascular disorders felt by the Investigator to preclude participation
• Inflammatory disorder of the blood vessels (inflammatory angiopathy or vasculitis, such as Buerger's disease)
• Active infection (chronic infection or severe active infection that may compromise the Participant's wellbeing or participation in the study in the Investigator's judgment)

• Active deep vein thrombosis
• Major psychiatric disorder diagnosed in the past 6 months that has not been stabilized or in the Investigator's opinion would not allow the patient to participate in the scheduled procedures

• Platelet count <100,000/µL

Életkor
