World MSA Research
Information List

Stay Informed & Register Your Interest in MSA Research OpportunitiesPeople living with Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) and their families can sometimes find it difficult to learn about research studies and clinical trials that are seeking participants.

The MSA Research Information List provides a way for members of the MSA community to receive information about research studies, clinical trials and other research opportunities that may be seeking participants.

Defeat MSA Alliance (USA), together with its MSA United Research Consortium partners, strongly advocates for increased MSA research, more clinical trials and greater access to research opportunities around the world.

Registering your interest on MSA Research Information List is completely voluntary and confidential. When Defeat MSA Alliance or MSA United becomes aware of an appropriate research opportunity, information about that opportunity may be distributed to individuals on the list.

Defeat MSA Alliance and MSA United do not enroll participants in research studies or clinical trials, determine eligibility for participation, or recruit individuals for studies.

If you receive information about a study that interests you, you may choose to contact the research site directly using the information provided. Participation and eligibility are determined solely by you and the researchers conducting the study.

Joining this list does not register or enroll you in a research study or clinical trial.

Research Frequently Asked Questions

What is a clinical trial?

Clinical trials are part of clinical research and at the heart of all medical advances. Clinical trials look at new ways to prevent, detect, or treat diseases. Treatments might be new drugs or new combinations of drugs, new surgical procedures or devices, or new ways to use existing treatments.

Clinical trials can also look at other aspects of care, such as improving the quality of life for people with chronic illnesses.
