MND-SMART

The aim of this clinical trial, called MND-SMART, is to improve outcomes for people living with MND. We plan to evaluate numerous repurposed medicines over many years using a multi-arm multi-stage trial design. Multi-arm means more than one drug is tested at one time. ‘Repurposing’ is investigating if a drug that has already been approved to treat one disease may be beneficial in treating another. The trial will be conducted in four stages and only continue if the results of each stage meet pre-defined criteria. In stages 1-3 the outcome measure ALS-FRS(R), a functional scale used in MND, will be evaluated alongside the safety and tolerability of the drugs. In stage 4 we will analyse the effects of drugs on survival. The latest information on trial status and investigational treatments is available from the MND-SMART website www.mnd-smart.org
