Figure 2. Mean ALSFRS-R scores through the study period. For patients with missing values at the end of Cycle 6, data were imputed by the LOCF method, provided that they had completed at least Cycle 3. ALS: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. ALSFRS-R: Revised ALS Functional Rating Scale. LOCF: last observation carried forward; SD: standard deviation.

Figure 3. Changes of the ALSFRS-R score during treatment in individual patients. ALSFRS-R: revised amyotrophic lateral sclerosis functional rating scale. Change of the ALSFRS-R score defined as the change from baseline to the end of Cycle 6 (or at discontinuation). For patients with missing values at the end of Cycle 6, data were input by the last observation carried forward (LOCF) method, provided that they had completed at least Cycle 3. •: change in the ALSFRS-R score during pre-observation period: −1, −2. ▪: change in the ALSFRS-R score during pre-observation period: −3, −4.
