torsdag, augusti 17, 2023

BOSTON and BOYNTON BEACH, Fla., Aug. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- ALS Finding a Cure® (ALSFAC) and The ALS Association announced today seven new grants worth a total of $2 million to support the development of early diagnostics for ALS.

Key Points: 
  • To receive an ALS diagnosis, patients must first undergo a battery of tests designed to rule out other conditions.
  • This is highly problematic because it can take a year – or sometimes even longer – for a person with ALS to receive the correct diagnosis.
  • To address this challenge, ALSFAC launched the Early ALS Diagnostics Initiative to identify promising molecular, digital, imaging, and electrophysiological diagnostic approaches for ALS.
  • After receiving a Partnership Grant from The ALS Association, ALSFAC was able to increase the number of projects supported by the initiative and expand its reach internationally.
