• Primary lateral sclerosis presenting only with upper motor neuron symptoms;
• Significant psychiatric disorders that the investigator assesses may affect evaluation;
• Diseases causing neurological or muscular dysfunction, such as metabolic muscle diseases or myasthenia gravis;
• Diagnosed autoimmune diseases with uncontrolled severe arthritis or other conditions (e.g., lameness) that the investigator assesses may affect evaluation;
