Research Updates

Canadian Neuromuscular Disease Registry

The CNDR is actively recruiting individuals with ALS who are using or have used edaravone or amx0035. Currently, the CNDR is collaborating with clinicians, scientists, patient organizations, and industry on important studies to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of ALS therapies to support access to drugs for Canadians who may benefit. 

The Canadian Neuromuscular Disease Registry (CNDR) is a national registry partnering with ALS clinics across the country aiming to improve access to care and therapies for people with ALS, and to increase the impacts of research in the Canadian healthcare system. The CNDR works with the community as valuable partners to provide essential clinical data related to people living with ALS. In order to participate, you will need to sign a form and agree for your physician to provide your medical information to the registry. Your privacy and security are always protected.

To join the CNDR community, please register here: www.cndr.org
