The FTD Disorders Registry helps to support clinical trials in all forms of frontotemporal degeneration, including:

  • Behavioral variant frontotemporal degeneration (dementia) (bvFTD)
  • Semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA)
  • Nonfluent/agrammatic variant PPA (naPPA)
  • Logopenic variant PPA (lvPPA)
  • Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP)
  • Corticobasal degeneration (CBD) / corticobasal syndrome (CBS)
  • Frontotemporal degeneration with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FTD-ALS)

Tissue Donation

Understanding of FTD has increased dramatically thanks to families who have been willing to donate tissue to research through brain donation when a loved one passes away. This is a complex and difficult decision for any family to make. If you are interested in learning more about tissue donation, please visit our Brain Donation page.

More places to Find Studies

  • The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration posts a table with studies currently recruiting volunteers for the FTD disorders, AFTD-clinical trials listing.
  • CurePSP posts listings of studies for families affected by PSP and CBS/CBD.
  • Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research lists studies and can help match patients with CBD and PSP to trials using the FoxTrialFinder.

FEATURED STUDY

CONNECT2CAREGIVERS

This 15-month remote study will help researchers determine whether caregivers of persons with dementia, including FTD, would find a technology-based matching program valuable for locating another caregiver for peer-to-peer support. Additionally to determine if algorithmic matches are more beneficial than random ones. Must be at least 18 years old, have access to the internet, and be a current or former caregiver who has been in the role of providing care for someone with dementia for at least 3 months.

For more information, visit the study listing on ClinicalTrials.gov.
