The MND Australia website lists the current trials in which people who have MND may participate.

As the MND community in Australia is relatively small, participants may need to travel to interstate centres if they are eligible to participate in a trial. The most recent trial is testing a drug called Tecfidera. For information, visit:

Thank you to the 330 people who have already completed the Research Priorities Survey. We'd love to hear from more members of the MND community, particularly people living with MND.

MND Australia is in the process of reviewing its research strategy and would like to know what areas of MND research you think are important. Take part in the Research Priorities Survey and have your say. It should take about 10-12 minutes of your time, thank you!
