Clinical Trials

Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) is the #1 voluntary health organization in the United States for people living with muscular dystrophy, ALS, and related neuromuscular diseases. MDA’s mission is to empower the people we serve to live longer, more independent lives. As part of MDA’s mission, we are dedicated to ensuring the neuromuscular disease community is aware of ongoing and available clinical trials.

Below you can access a list of trials that MDA is aware are currently, actively recruiting. Please note, MDA does not conduct these trials; however, we gather the information and present it in order for the trials to be more readily accessible to the community.
