ALS Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: surgeryExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
A sequential design of five groups will be utilized to reduce risk to subjects. The first group (Group A) will include six subjects and the subsequent groups will include three subjects per group. Each group represents both different inclusion criteria and location of surgery.
