Clinical Trials
Presently, there are no approved disease-modifying treatments for FTD, though a number of clinical trials are underway. These clinical trials are led by various drug sponsors, and a subset of FPI clinical sites are enrolling patients into these studies. The active treatment trials targeting genetic forms of FTD and/or C9orf72-related ALS are summarized below:
