How does a great scientific idea become an effective treatment? It’s a long and complicated process! Drug development involves many key players, including researchers, companies, regulators, funders, patient advocacy organizations like AFTD and, importantly, community members with lived experience of FTD. The field of FTD has made exciting progress in the past decade, with treatments closer than ever. This webinar explains the complexity of FTD drug development and how there are distinct barriers at different stages of development; how the field of FTD has evolved, bringing both hope and new challenges; AFTD’s role in supporting research across the pipeline; and what the audience can do to spearhead progress.

This Perspectives in FTD Research Webinar is presented jointly by AFTD and the FTD Disorders Registry. The webinar is sponsored by UCB.
