SUMMARY:Alliance Webinar: Mental Health Supports for People Living with ALS/MND and Caregivers
DESCRIPTION:A diagnosis of ALS/MND can generate a range of emotions\, for both the patient and their caregivers. Patients can experience anxiety and depression\, feel isolated\, and often feel like a burden to their loved ones. Caregivers of a loved one with ALS/MND will experience their own set of challenges\, including caregiver burnout. This webinar will explore the mental health supports needed for people living with ALS/MND\, and their caregivers. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Alliance Webinar: Optimizing Clinical Trial Design
DESCRIPTION:The history of clinical trials in ALS/MND has been fraught with failures. It has not been uncommon for a potential therapy to show promise in Phase 2 trial results\, then prove to be ineffective in the subsequent\, larger-scale Phase 3 trial. Clinical trials take a considerable amount of time\, resources\, and funding\, and as such there have been numerous efforts in the field of ALS/MND to optimize clinical trials to improve their efficiency and effectiveness. From outcome measures to entry criteria\, this webinar will explore the lessons we have learned from the failed trials of the past\, and how those have been integrated in to our optimization of clinical trials of the future. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Alliance Webinar: Youth and ALS/MND
DESCRIPTION:A diagnosis of ALS/MND is devastating\, not only to the individual receiving the diagnosis\, but their family members as well. Discussing a parent’s new diagnosis of ALS/MND with their child can be both challenging and emotional. In addition\, children whose parent has been affected by ALS/MND may have fears\, concerns\, and questions that differ greatly than those experienced by an adult. This webinar will discuss the experience of a child whose parent has ALS/MND\, and communication with a child to address their concerns and questions. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Alliance Webinar: Biomarkers in ALS/MND
DESCRIPTION:A biomarker\, short for biological marker\, is an objective and quantifiable measure of biological processes or states. Biomarkers can be used to deepen our understanding of a disease\, or quantify its state and severity\, and are critical in clinical trials in determining\, at a biological level\, therapeutic effect. In ALS/MND\, we lack definitive\, quantifiable biomarkers such as those used in other neurological diseases: tumor size in patients suffering from brain tumors\, or number of lesions present on an MRI scan for those multiple sclerosis patients experiencing a relapse. Much research has been done\, and is ongoing\, on establishing biomarkers suitable for use in ALS/MND research and care. This webinar will provide an overview of those biomarkers emerging as the front runners for the field\, and how a combinatorial approach will likely be needed. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Alliance Webinar: Telemedicine Best Practices in Care & Research
DESCRIPTION:While certain practices and fields of medicine have routinely used telemedicine in patient care\, the global COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a widespread uptake in the use of telehealth\, across all areas of health care\, in order to continue delivering care during these challenging times. While telehealth has ensured continued\, and expanded access to\, care for patients living with ALS/MND\, there are inherently challenges associated with a disease that requires multidisciplinary care\, is dealt with constant and rapid changes\, and necessitates physical assessments in a clinical trial setting. This webinar will discuss best practices in telemedicine\, for both care and research\, for patients living with ALS/MND. \nRegister here.
