Meta-analysis of pharmacogenetic interactions in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis clinical trials
Conclusions:
This study incorporated genetic data into past ALS trials to determine treatment effects in a genetic post hoc analysis. Our results suggest that we should reorient our strategies toward finding treatments for ALS, start focusing on genotype-targeted treatments, and standardize genotyping in order to optimize randomization and analysis for future clinical trials.
