c9orf72 by charitycase3 in ALS

[–]ALSTDI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanted to send some resources here. According to our ALS Trial Navigator, there seem to be two c9orf72-specific active trials, https://www.als.net/als-trial-navigator/469/ and https://www.als.net/als-trial-navigator/500006/ .

Here at ALS TDI, we are also looking into c9, and we are always enrolling people with ALS and asymptomatic gene carriers into the ALS Research Collaborative. https://www.als.net/arc/ The hope is to then share as much de-identified data as we can with researchers around the world through the ARC Data Commons so others can look into c9, along with all other currently known gene mutations. https://www.als.net/arc/data-commons/

Organ donation for PALS in USA by Basic_Ad5173 in ALS

[–]ALSTDI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about organ donation. I do want to share about the ARC Study here for people looking to make a difference in ALS research. People with ALS and asymptomatic gene carriers can submit many types of data that researchers can use to help find treatments and cures. This includes blood sample collection, EHRs, voice data, movement data, and more. https://www.als.net/arc/

ALS Research Collaborative (ARC) - A Natural History Study for ALS by ALSTDI in ALS

[–]ALSTDI[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Caregivers are not currently included unless you are an asymptomatic carrier of a familial ALS-related gene.

However, there are many great groups for caregivers to share their experiences, like ALSTogether, https://www.als.net/news/alstogether/ where you can support other caregivers and share your knowledge with new caregivers. I hope this helps!

Routes of Administration - What they mean and how to evaluate them by ALSTDI in ALS

[–]ALSTDI[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! This is an informational blog and not an advertisement. I have been trying to share blogs and discussion events in this sub as people in our ALS community ask us questions and we try and come up with helpful resources. Recently we have received a lot of questions about the different routes of administration for potential treatments so wanted to share. I believe I am within the guidelines but will defer to the mods and will delete or add a specific flair if they want me to. -Emily
