NCT04840823 evaluates Enoxacin in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. The disclosed sponsor is McGill University, the design is Interventional, and the geographic footprint is Canada. The first listed primary endpoint is Incidence of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs), assessed over From baseline (prior to dosing on day 1 of dosing) to 14 day +/- 2 day follow up visit.
The key landscape question is whether this protocol can generate a clinically interpretable signal relative to nearby programs. Phase alone is not a measure of evidence quality. Endpoint relevance, comparator choice, masking, enrollment feasibility, patient selection, country coverage and follow-up must be considered together.
PatSnap MCP Servers make this assessment reproducible by keeping protocol facts, result evidence, asset attributes and sponsor identity in separate structured calls.
Clinical Trials MCP clinical_trial_fetch retrieved the design, outcomes, phase, status, enrollment, sponsor, countries and timing for NCT04840823 and selected peers. clinical_trial_result_fetch supplied detailed result records from the wider Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis landscape. Drug & Asset MCP drug_fetch was queried for Enoxacin, while Company & Deal Intelligence MCP organization_fetch was queried for McGill University.
This separation reduces a common diligence error: treating a registry label, a company description or a result excerpt as if each represented the complete evidence package. Explore the source workflow at the PatSnap MCP marketplace.

The table aligns endpoints, sponsors, phases, geographies and readout proxies. It is descriptive, not a head-to-head efficacy comparison. Differences in population, baseline risk, intervention schedule and follow-up can dominate apparent cross-trial differences.

NCT04840823 is a Phase 1/2, completed study with not reported planned participants. Allocation is Randomized, masking is Quadruple, and the intervention model is Parallel Assignment.
The primary endpoint is “Incidence of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)” over “From baseline (prior to dosing on day 1 of dosing) to 14 day +/- 2 day follow up visit.” The retrieved endpoint description is: The incidence of adverse events (new or worsened from baseline (where baseline refers to those AEs recorded prior to dosing on day 1 of dosing)) will be summarized by primary system organ class and preferred term as frequency count and percentage of participants with AEs..
Interpretation should test whether the endpoint captures a clinically meaningful change, whether its time horizon matches the proposed biology, and whether treatment discontinuation or missing data can bias the estimate. The planned enrollment of not reported should be assessed against expected effect size, event frequency, multiplicity, subgroup plans and attrition.
No named control drug was returned in the protocol field set. A placebo comparator can strengthen internal efficacy assessment, while an active comparator may better test clinical differentiation. Single-arm and open-label programs require greater weight on objective outcomes, independent assessment and external benchmarks.
0 recent result records were selected as contextual evidence for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. These records do not establish direct evidence for NCT04840823 unless the registration number matches.
No directly comparable result record was retrieved for this disease query. This is a monitoring gap, not evidence of absence.
Result fields should be reconciled with the source record before quantitative comparison. Population definitions, analysis sets, dose cohorts, estimands, confidence intervals, rescue therapy and follow-up can materially change the meaning of a numerical endpoint. Clinical Trials MCP supports repeatable refreshes as result records change.
Enoxacin is indexed as Small molecule drug with Bacterial Top II x Bacterial top IV biology and a global stage of Approved. The asset profile lists Sanofi as an originator or developer.
McGill University is indexed in an unreported country with the website http://www.mcgill.ca. McGill University is a public research university that offers 300 programs of study. The record lists 33 development-stage drug assets.
For execution diligence, monitor sponsor ownership, collaborator additions, site expansion, protocol amendments and enrollment revisions. A change in ownership or geography can alter operational confidence as well as the commercial meaning of a future readout.
White space should be framed as an unanswered development question, not merely an unoccupied mechanism label. A credible program closes a measurable clinical uncertainty with a design that can be executed and interpreted.
For sponsors, the endpoint hierarchy, safety window, enrollment pace and protocol amendment history should all support the same target product profile. Advancement criteria should be set before the readout and tied to clinical effect, uncertainty, tolerability and operational feasibility.
For business-development teams, differentiation may come from a sharper population, stronger comparator, more durable benefit, simpler delivery or clearer sequencing role. For investors, the central risk is evidence quality relative to time and capital, not the phase label in isolation.
Track recruitment status, enrollment changes, primary-completion timing, endpoint revisions, new result records, sponsor ownership and collaborator changes. Re-run the PatSnap MCP workflow when a surrogate becomes a clinical outcome, a single-country study expands, the comparator changes or a new result materially shifts the competitive benchmark.

Data snapshot: 16 October 2026.
Enoxacin in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is best understood through the interaction of protocol design, surrounding readouts, asset context and sponsor execution. The current record makes Incidence of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) and 2023-11-15 the leading decision points.
