Clinical Development of Therapies for Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease: Recommendations for Trial Design, Endpoints, and Regulatory Pathways
Expert guidance on designing clinical trials for muscle nerve disease helps researchers test new treatments for a currently untreatable condition.
The ToPIC:CMT (Therapeutic Options for People in CMT) Steering Committee published consensus guidance on clinical trial design, outcome measure selection, and regulatory strategy for developing therapies for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. These recommendations are urgently needed as multiple gene therapies and small molecules approach clinical trials with no currently approved treatments for any CMT subtype.
