Primary Outcome(s)
Main Objective: To assess the functional improvement of the combined treatment with Liposomal Turmeric / Resveratrol® with Dutasteride in comparison with patients in routine clinical practice
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 9 months
Primary end point(s): Determine functional improvement, understanding as such a statistically significant increase in the mean score obtained on the revised Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRR-R) associated with ALS with respect to the baseline visit, at 3 and 6 months. treatment.
Secondary Objective: •Assess activity at the cognitive and behavioral level in ALS patients, and its effects on the quantity and quality of sleep, after the intervention with the combination of Liposomal Turmeric / Resveratrol® with Dutasteride, at baseline visit, 3 and 6 months.
•Quantify the decrease in oxidative stress, after the intervention with the indicated drug combination, at the baseline visit, 3 and 6 months.
•Quantify the possible decrease in inflammation, after the intervention with the indicated drug combination, at a baseline visit, 3 and 6 months.
•Assess the effects on the intestinal microbiota, after the intervention with the indicated drug combination, related to cognitive and behavioral changes at the beginning, 3 and 6 months.
•Assessment of muscle strength and capacity at baseline visit, 3 and 6 months after onset.
•Assessment of the quantity and quality of sleep, after the intervention with the indicated combination of medications, at a baseline visit, 3 and 6 months.
Secondary Outcome(s)
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 9 months
Secondary end point(s): - Motor Variables: The scales and tests carried out will try to determine improvement in muscular and respiratory activity, which deteriorates due to motor neuron damage.
The tests will be the following:
• Electromyography (EMG). Graphic recording technique of the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles. EMG can be monitored through electrodes inserted into the muscles (intramuscular electrodes) or through electrodes on the surface of the skin over the muscle (superficial electrodes) with the FREE-EMG 300 Electromyograph (8 CHANNELS). This EMG is electromyographic data acquisition and analysis software. In this version, 8 acquisition channels are considered that allow the acquisition of EMG, Switch and / or Force Cell data. The graphical interface is designed for a 1280 x 1024 screen area.
• TEST MRC 11 –steps-mrc grading scale measures muscle strength
• Measurement of forced vital capacity (FVC): FVC is an indicator of lung capacity and would be obtained by performing spirometry, measuring it using a peak expiratory flow meter.
- Variables for cognitive and behavioral assessment: The assessment of cognitive and behavioral functions will try to determine possible improvements in these functions, linked to the damage that occurs in the frontotemporal area of ??the cortex in patients with ALS. To carry out these assessments, the following cognitive and behavioral tests will be applied.
The tests will be:
• Edinburgh ELA Cognitive and Behavioral Exam (ECCE)
• A behavioral test-interview with the caregiver that asks questions with a dichotomous answer Y / N about the presence of uninhibited behavior, apathy or behavioral inertia, lack of sympathy or empathy, perseverative, stereotyped, compulsive or ritualistic behavior, as well as hyperorality and alteration of eating behavior. Likewise, it collects 3 questions about the possible presence of psychotic symptoms.
-Variables related to the microbiota: A Clinical Intestinal Microbiome will be carried out, which is an analysis of the bacterial microbiota present in the intestine, from a stool sample. With this test the improvement will be assessed by the percentage of patients who present a increase of Akkermansia muciniphila, bifidobacterium or lactobacillus (the increase of any of the 3, especially the first); or a decrease in Escherichia coli or Ruminococcus torques (either of the two, but especially the second) at baseline, at 3 months (according to the investigator), and at 6 months.
-Variables related to the quantity and quality of sleep:
• Clinical questionnaire for screening of sleep pathologies, hereinafter, sleep test (TS)
• Measurement through diaries (DS) and scales (ES) of multiple quantitative and qualitative sleep variables (Epworth Test (sleepiness) and Pittsburgh Test (sleep quality)).
-Variables related to inflammation and oxidation:
• Quantitative measurement of plasma IL-6 and TNF-alpha.
• Quantitative measurement of plasma CRP.
• Quantitative measurement of plasma haptoglobin.
• Quantitative assessment of TEAC (oxidation).
• Quantitative measurement of plasma 8-oxoG.
• Quantitative measurement of plasma MDA.
