UPDATE
The ALS Association’s collaborative and global approach to funding research continues to lead to significant advances by top ALS researchers all over the world. Currently, there are 155 active research projects across 13 countries funded by The ALS Association.
• Funded Centaur trial of AMX0035, a new ALS treatment submitted for FDA approval. This showed significant improvement in function and survival.
• Invested in infrastructure and data access to accelerate ALS research through Answer ALS.
• Helped fund the first ever Healy platform trials in ALS, which simultaneously investigates multiple treatments. The Hospital for Special Care is one of the many Healy platform trial locations.
• Created a diagnostic guide, thinkALS, that can help reduce the time it takes to diagnose ALS.
The ALS Association advocates to prioritize research that advances the health of people living with ALS. We will not stop until our vision of a world without ALS is realized.
