People with MSA face challenges learning about research. The International Research Information Registry is a way for MSA community members to provide their contact information and other details, if they wish to be contacted about participating in experimental drug trials and research studies.
Defeat MSA Alliance (USA) and its MSA United Consortium partners continue to strongly advocate for more drug trials and a more equitable implementation of them worldwide. This informational registry is hosted by Defeat MSA Alliance (USA) but available to anyone diagnosed with MSA (or any related disease) globally. It is completely voluntary and strictly confidential.
The two research registry applications (Apple & Android) developed in 2020, are currently under review for further development. Stay tuned for re-launch of the redesigned apps in 2024.
Defeat MSA Alliance offers the links below to help you search for an appropriate specialist. These directories are provided for informational purposes by our friends and allies.

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. The goal of clinical trials is to determine if a new test or treatment works and is safe. Clinical trials can also look at other aspects of care, such as improving the quality of life for people with chronic illnesses.
The process for drug approval including different kinds of faster tracks is provided by the FDA here: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/development-approval-process-drugs
