Getting involved in a Clinical Trial
Clinical trials are the only way to develop new treatments for people with ALS. People with ALS who enroll in a clinical trial are contributing to improved health care for everyone with the disease. Even when the results of a trial are negative, we learn that much more about the disease, and how to look for more promising new treatments.
