The Sean M. Healey & AMG Center at Massachusetts General Hospital, in collaboration with the Northeast ALS Consortium (NEALS), Barrow Neurological Institute, the University of Rochester, and Berry Consultants, has launched the first platform trial for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The goals of this groundbreaking project are to greatly accelerate the timelines towards effective ALS treatments and provide greater trial access for all those affected by this disease. Visit the trial page on ClinicalTrials.gov for more information about sites and trial participation criteria.
The HEALEY ALS Platform Trial is a collaborative effort and enrollment in the trial is available at several sites across the U.S. to bring the trial close to people who want to participate. All sites are part of the NEALS Consortium. See below for a list of participating sites and their contact details.
