Dear user,
thank you for your query. Massive research is being conducted on the ALS. so far no clear etiology is available for the disease, autoimmune modulation drugs are treatment of choice but sadly no breakthrough treatment medications. Riluzole happens to be a good drug to delay the progression of the disease.
best regards
