Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

Motor neuron neurodegeneration with mitochondrial dysfunction, proteostasis collapse, and neuroinflammation as convergent contributors. Atlas Bio's ALS program repurposes PD-MITO-02 (mitochondrial bioenergetics) and PD-PROT-04 (aggregate clearance) with ALS-specific dosing and a slow-progressor cohort design.

Status: Designed · Multi-mechanism
Blends: 2 PD-derived + 1 ALS-specific modifier
Cohort: Slow-progressor enrichment

Three axes, one motor neuron.

ALS converges on mitochondrial dysfunction (energetic collapse in motor neurons), proteostasis failure (TDP-43, SOD1, FUS aggregation), and neuroinflammation (microglial activation). The PD pipeline's MITO and PROT blends were designed for the same biology — different cell type, same machinery. Atlas Bio's ALS program tests whether the mechanism-anchored cross-walk holds.

Cross-walk dosing logic and the slow-progressor enrichment criteria are gated. Gated

Slow-progressor enrichment to read the signal.

ALS trials fail when fast-progressors dilute signal. The Atlas Bio design enriches for slow-progressors (ALSFRS-R slope < 0.5/month for the 3 months prior to screening). Primary endpoint is slope-of-slope (acceleration), not raw ALSFRS-R. NfL (serum neurofilament light) is the biomarker primary; ALSFRS-R is clinical primary.

Inclusion criteria, NfL thresholds, and the slope-of-slope statistical pre-specification are gated. Gated

Same stack, every indication.

The abstract above is open. Cross-walk dosing matrix, slow-progressor enrichment criteria, NfL thresholds, the slope-of-slope pre-registration, and the Phase IIa trial design are available to verified ALS clinicians, researchers, and sponsors under MNDA.
