The International Progressive MS Alliance has opened applications for access to its new MS Clinical and Imaging Data Resource (CIDR).
This resource brings together brain scans and health data from more than 13,000 people with MS, including around 52,000 MRI scans and nearly 200,000 clinical visits.
Developed in collaboration with industry, researchers, clinicians, and the MS community, this resource aims to help researchers accelerate understanding of disease progression and design more effective clinical trials.
As a managing member of the Alliance, MS Australia extends our congratulations on this milestone – an unprecedented enabler for smarter, faster clinical trials in progressive MS, biomarker discovery and ultimately, a better quality of life for people living with progressive MS worldwide.
