Clinical Research

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 research, including clinical trials and observational studies.

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