Summary:MND-SMART is an innovative UK-wide clinical trial, testing multiple MND treatments simultaneously. The adaptive nature of the trial permits dropping ineffective treatments and adding promising new ones quickly and efficiently. Foundation support has been crucial in expanding MND-SMART, funding staff at new centres and increasing participant access throughout the UK.

Why this research is important:  Supporting long-term trial capacity for clinical trials in MND will ensure that people living with MND in the UK will continue to have the opportunity to participate in research, and ensure the expertise to run clinical trials is sustained as new treatments emerge.
