- Rate of progression at baseline between -0.5 and -1.5 points per month on ALSFRS-R total score.
- SVC ≥70% of predicted capacity.
- Participants receiving riluzole must be on a stable dose for at least 30 days prior to Screening, with intent to stay on stable dosage throughout the study. If not on a stable dose of riluzole for at least 30 days prior to Screening, willing to refrain from initiation of the agent for the duration of the trial.
- Participants receiving edaravone (intravenous \[IV\] or oral, RADICAVA®) must have completed at least one treatment cycle prior to Screening, with intent to remain on stable dosage throughout the study. If participant has not completed at least one treatment cycle of edaravone at the time of Screening, willing to refrain from initiation of the agent for the duration of the trial.

- Clinically significant history of cardiac function impairment including cardiac ejection fraction below 40%, ventricular wall motion abnormalities, or coronary artery disease.
- Any organ allografts.
- A positive tuberculosis (TB) test indicating a latent TB infection or a positive test for viral hepatitis.
- Currently receiving or have received abatacept treatment within 75 days prior to Screening.
- Currently receiving or have received interleukin-2 (IL-2) treatment within 30 days prior to Screening.
- Currently receiving or expected to receive immunosuppressant therapy (e.g., cyclosporine, sirolimus, tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, systemic steroids) or antihypertensives over the course of the study.
- Planning to receive a live vaccine during the study or within 3 months of discontinuation.
- Current participation in another interventional clinical trial and/or participation in any investigational medication or device clinical trial within 30 days prior to Screening or 5 half-lives of elimination of the investigational medication, whichever is longer.
- Previous participation in any COYA 302 (LD rhIL-2 and DRL\_AB) study.
