Launch of CURE-ND4ALS

The CURE-ND4ALS team - a group of about 30 people standing in front of a building, with some punching the air.

May 2026: This ambitious patient-focused MND initiative has been launched at the Paris Brain Institute.

CURE-ND4ALS seeks to remove the main scientific, technological, and clinical barriers that are still slowing down the development of efficient treatments for MND.

The initiative brings together the Paris Brain Institute, the DZNE (Deutsches Zentrum für Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen), Mission Lucidity (Leuven Brain Institute), and the UK Dementia Research Institute. The MND-SMART trial led by the Euan MacDonald Centre is a flagship project of the UK Dementia Research Institute.

CURE-ND4ALS was launched in Paris on 29th May.

One of the pillars of the initiative is to expand the MND-SMART clinical trial into Europe.
