Trial overview
The available data describe two interventional studies of Sodium Cromoglicate, both in phase 2 and both marked as Authorised.[1][2]
One study is in people with multiple sclerosis, and the other is in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).[1][2]
Multiple sclerosis study
The first trial, 2023-507541-29-00, is titled “Efficacy and safety of cromoglycate as a new symptomatic treatment in patients with multiple sclerosis.”[1]
This study includes 120 participants and compares oral cromoglycic acid with placebo.[1]
The brief summary says the study is evaluating the effect of oral disodium cromoglycate on fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis.[1]
The main outcomes are the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) at the end of treatment compared with baseline, the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), and the PROMIS-SF-Fatigue measure for fatigue in multiple sclerosis.[1]
ALS study
The second trial, 2025-520688-42-00, is titled “Phase IIB Study of PHENOGENE-1A (Cromolyn) as an Adjuvant Therapy in Mild to Moderate ALS.”[2]
This study includes 155 participants and compares PHENOGENE-1A with a placebo capsule delivered by oral inhalation using a DPI.[2]
The study is designed to evaluate functional changes in people with mild to moderate ALS over a 24-week treatment period.[2]
The primary endpoint is the absolute change in ALSFRS-R total score from baseline to Week 24.[2]
What the endpoints mean
An endpoint is the main result a trial wants to measure.[1][2]
In the multiple sclerosis study, the endpoints focus on fatigue, which means how tired a person feels and how much that tiredness affects daily life.[1]
In the ALS study, the endpoint focuses on function, which means how well a person can carry out everyday activities.[2]
These measures help researchers see whether the study treatment may improve symptoms or daily functioning compared with placebo.[1][2]
Who can participate
The trial data show that the target groups are people with multiple sclerosis and people with mild to moderate ALS.[1][2]
The information provided does not list the full inclusion or exclusion criteria, so the exact participation rules are not shown here.[1][2]
How to read the results
Because both studies are placebo-controlled, the researchers can compare the active treatment with a non-active treatment group.[1][2]
This design helps show whether any change in fatigue or function is likely due to the study treatment rather than chance.[1][2]
The current data are focused on study design, target population, and planned outcomes, not on final results.[1][2]
