[临床研究]  
在最初的一项包括155例ALS患者的双盲研究中，本品治疗组病人12个月生存率为74%，而安慰剂组为58%。此外，延髓发病病人的1年生存率，本品与安慰剂组分别为73%和35%，而肢体发病病人的1年生存两者分别为74%和64%。研究还证实，经本品治疗的病人其肌肉减退明显较慢。 
在第二项包括959例ALS病人的多中心双盲试验中，又一次证明本品治疗生存率明显较高（57%对50%）。但治疗18个月后肢体发病亚组与延髓发病亚组间或在肌肉测试中未发现有显着差异。 
考虑到研究中ALS病人生存结果有较大差异，为对这些结果作进一步评价，还要使用cox模型（补偿已知的预后因素）。该模型证实治疗18个月后治疗组病人死亡危险率降低了35%。
