Abstract

Developing effective treatments for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has been hindered by both the complexity of the disease and decentralized research efforts. By fostering collaboration, standardization, and inclusivity, the Accelerating Medicines Partnership® (AMP®) ALS initiative aims to lay the foundation for future discoveries in ALS biomarkers and treatments.
