Why PSP and CBS Clinical Trials Matter
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal syndrome (CBS) are FTD disorders that primarily affect movement and are sometimes called atypical parkinsonism. In this Perspectives in FTD Research Webinar, presented jointly by AFTD and the FTD Disorders Registry, Dr. Anne-Marie Wills, director of the CurePSP Center of Care at Massachusetts General Hospital, will explore what PSP and CBS are and how research into these disorders is improving our scientific understanding. This webinar will also cover current clinical trial opportunities, and how people interested in participating can find out more.
This Perspectives in Research Webinar is made possible through the generous support of Alector.
Viewers will be able to:
- Understand how PSP and CBS fit into the FTD umbrella.
- Identify available clinical trials for PSP and CBS and what steps to take if they are interested in enrollment.
- Understand why participating in PSP/CBS research matters.
