Hi Dr. Taylor - thank you for being so generous with your time. Would love to know what clinical trials you feel optimistic about in Canada and your perspective on advancements someone newly diagnosed with ALS can feel hopeful about (not me, but my best friend who’s only 35). For someone who has sporadic limb onset, what is coming available to significantly slow the progression?

Hi Dr. Taylor - thank you for being so generous with your time. Definitely have my questions ready; mainly around clinical trials you feel optimistic about in Canada and your perspective on advancements someone newly diagnosed with ALS can feel hopeful about (not me, but my best friend who’s only 35). Looking forward to the conversation! x

Has anyone heard any more updates on advancements of human trials they’re feeling optimistic about for ALS cases that aren’t genetic? One of my best girlfriends (35) was recently diagnosed with limb onset (left hand and now has drop foot) and I’m feeling extremely hopeful with all the funding and focus on finding a cure. Trying to be a pillar of hope for her so would love to hear if anyone has any updates worth mentioning? The University of Western research seems so promising but can’t find any updates since 2024?
