Repeated neurofilament light chain measurements did not capture Riluzole therapeutic effect in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients.

In this study, sNfL levels increased with time in ALS patients and there was no difference between subjects already treated by Riluzole and those treated after sNfL1. Further studies with larger population samples and different sampling intervals are warranted to better determine the real potential of sNfL measurement as a tool to monitor treatment response in ALS.
