About this study
Official title: A 6-Month Extension Study Following Protocol VMALS-002-2 (A Phase 2a, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Study to Assess the Safety of Engensis in Participants With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of intramuscular administration of Engensis in Participants with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis who were previously randomized, received treatment, and completed the Day 180 Visit of Study VMALS-002-2. Safety will be assessed by incidences of treatment-emergent adverse events, treatment emergent serious adverse events, adverse events of special interest, and the clinically significant laboratory values.
Read the detailed description
VMALS-002-2b was a safety extension study following VMALS-002-2, which was a Phase 2a, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter study designed to assess the safety of intramuscular administration of Engensis in subjects with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.Following completion of the Day 180 visit in VMALS-002-2 and signing of written informed consent, subjects were enrolled in this approximately 180-day extension study, with subjects completing combined participation with a Day 365 visit. Assessments to be conducted during this extension study were as follows: vital signs, weight and height, complete physical examination, 12-lead electrocardiogram, a record of all concomitant medications and procedures, clinical laboratory assessments, Revised Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale, handheld dynamometry, slow vital capacity, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Assessment Questionnaire, 40 questions, Patient Global Impression of Change, and Clinical Global Impression of Change. Assessments of treatment-emergent adverse events, treatment-emergent serious adverse events, adverse events of special interest, and clinically significant laboratory values continued from the Day 180 visit of Study VMALS-002-2 through the VMALS-002-2b extension study to Day 365.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Engensis in people with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, run by Helixmith Co., Ltd. at 2 sites in 2 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Oct 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in United States, South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 May 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events in More Than 2 Subjects Overall by System Organ Class and Preferred Term (time frame: Day 0 to Day 365). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Oct 2025.
