Sponsors to Share Trial Data to Develop Alzheimer’s Drugs
In a move that could foster faster development of drugs to treat neurodegenerative diseases, a consortium of drugmakers has agreed to share data from Alzheimer’s trials in a new database. The creation of the database is the first effort of its kind to pool industry data to accelerate development of treatments for brain diseases, the Coalition Against Major Diseases says. The database will allow researchers to design better clinical trials and improve chances of success."
