Measure
RNS60
RNS60 for injection, i.e. in the IV bags, is produced using 0.9% Sodium Chloride for injection. RNS60 for inhalation, i.e. in the syringes, is produced using 0.9% Sodium Chloride for irrigation. Syringes and IV bags are to remain refrigerated at 2 to 8°C (36 to 46°F) when not in use. RNS60 meets its stability specification for 12 months. RNS60: normal saline plus oxigen in nanobubble
NORMAL SALINE
Normal saline (NS) for injection, i.e. in the IV bags, is packaged 0.9% Sodium Chloride for injection. NS for inhalation, i.e. in the syringes, is packaged 0.9% Sodium Chloride for irrigation. NS does not require refrigerated storage for use. However, for blinding purposes refrigeration is required before distributing to subjects. NS meets stability specifications for 24 months. RNS60 has been tested in three Phase I safety studies, NCT01264783, NCT01057498, and NCT01511302 in the USA, and a Phase IIa (NCT02422121) study in UK without any safety concern. Two other Investigator initiated Phase IIa trials are currently ongoing, one in Mass General Hospital (NCT02525471), and one in the University of Zurich (with University of Innsbruck as a second site).

\*\*ALSAQ-40=ALS Assessment Questionnaire - 40 items\*\* The mean change of ALSAQ-40 over the on-treatment period and the off-treatment follow-up period. Measured at weeks 0, 24, 48. The ALSAQ-40 is a 40-item questionnaire measuring health status and health related quality of life in ALS patients. It is divided in 5 domains: the physical mobility (it addresses problems of mobility); the ADL (activities of daily living) and independence (it addresses a variety of limitations in ADL); the eating and drinking (it adresses problems eating solid foods, swallowing and drinking liquids); the communication (it addresses a variety of problems in communicating with others); the emotional reactions (it addresses various emotional problems). \*\* For each domain the score has the following range: Min score =0 corresponding to the better condition - max score =100 corresponding to the worse condition. (A higher score corresponds to a better outcome ) \*\*

RNS60 for injection, i.e. in the IV bags, is produced using 0.9% Sodium Chloride for injection. RNS60 for inhalation, i.e. in the syringes, is produced using 0.9% Sodium Chloride for irrigation. Syringes and IV bags are to remain refrigerated at 2 to 8°C (36 to 46°F) when not in use. RNS60 meets its stability specification for 12 months. RNS60: normal saline plus oxigen in nanobubble
NORMAL SALINE
n=73 participants at risk
Normal saline (NS) for injection, i.e. in the IV bags, is packaged 0.9% Sodium Chloride for injection. NS for inhalation, i.e. in the syringes, is packaged 0.9% Sodium Chloride for irrigation. NS does not require refrigerated storage for use. However, for blinding purposes refrigeration is required before distributing to subjects. NS meets stability specifications for 24 months. RNS60 has been tested in three Phase I safety studies, NCT01264783, NCT01057498, and NCT01511302 in the USA, and a Phase IIa (NCT02422121) study in UK without any safety concern. Two other Investigator initiated Phase IIa trials are currently ongoing, one in Mass General Hospital (NCT02525471), and one in the University of Zurich (with University of Innsbruck as a second site).
