CLINICAL TRIALS & STUDIES
EXPERIMENTAL LAB WORK
Not sure what to look for in a clinical trial? Watch this informative video: Helping you understand clinical trials
Are you interested in participating in a clinical trial? Visit www.clinicaltrials.gov, enter the name of the disease and you’ll be able to stay abreast of the latest clinical trial news. You can also enroll in the Fox Trial Finder which not only allows you to share your information for future research studies but will also inform you of any research study or clinical trial for which you qualify.
Join the Global MSA Registry
The Global MSA Patient Registry (GLoMSAR) connects people who have MSA and their care partners to physicians and researchers focused on the disease.
More than 1,000 people with MSA are part of the registry, which also provides them with updates on treatments, news, and clinical trial opportunities. The registry also enables neurologists who specialize in treating MSA to contact eligible patients to participate in clinical trials and speed up the testing of potential new therapies.
More MSA Research Highlights
In this video, recorded at the MSA Coalition’s annual conference in September 2019, Dr. Gregor Wenning, Chairman of the MSA Coalition’s Scientific Advisory Board discusses MSA Coalition funded research and promising treatments to watch.
