Abstract

Objective. To carry out a scope review on the effects of using the drug AMX0035, compared to Riluzole, for the treatment and reduction of the need for mechanical ventilation in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Method. The Population/Patient/Problem, Intervention, Control/Comparison, Outcome (PICO) methodology was used as a guiding mechanism for elaborating the problem-question, supporting the search for articles in the SCIELO, BVS, MEDLINE and LILACS databases, selecting, through the exclusion and inclusion criteria united with Boolean operators, the articles targeted later, being sent to the extraction process. Results. 3 articles were selected that used randomized control tests and phase II clinical trials to weigh safety and efficacy of sodium phenylbutyrate - taurursodiol in a patient with ALS. In both, it was demonstrated that the use of medication significantly reduced the effects of the disease on the functional activities of the patients according to the ALSFRS scale, in addition to verifying that the plasmatic concentrations of heavy subunits of phosphorylated neurofilaments were lower in the groups that received the placebo. It was also noted that, in this same group, the cumulative risk of death, tracheostomy or hospitalization was higher. Conclusion. The use of AMX0035 proved to be effective in improving the clinical condition of patients with ALS, but studies and research are still needed in order to prove its validity and ensure the minimum of possible adverse effects.
