Quality of Life and CMT Research

Did you know that 95% of clinical trials fail? There are multiple causes, most related to efficacy or safety, which obviously can be harmful and risky for patients. The risk-reward of enrolling in trials is a judgment call based on the devastating effects of disease related to quality of life (QoL) or life-threatening disease. With CMT, the risk-reward is more of a challenging question for many, as CMT in most cases is non-fatal.

Help us answer questions that your doctors and the CMT Research Community aren’t too sure about.

Did you know that you can become part of a community in therapy development and further research for all forms of CMT and inherited neuropathies? The mission of the Global Registry for Inherited neuropathies (GRIN) is to collect clinical and genetic information from patients with ALL forms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) and other related rare and ultra rare inherited neuropathies.
