About the project

The Lighthouse II clinical trial is a randomised double-blind placebo controlled trial that seeks to investigate whether the combination medicine Triumeq (dolutegravir 50mg, abacavir 600mg, lamivudine 300mg), is safe and effective in delaying the progression of ALS/MND. Triumeq is very commonly prescribed for patients with HIV. The secondary aim of this study is to assess patient's health outcomes whilst taking this medication.
