ALT Primary endpoint Definition: The main result that is measured to see if the treatment worked. In MND trials: The primary endpoint if often the change in ALSFRS-R or the difference in survival between the treatment group and placebo group

ALT Slide which says “working outside academia in industry (or in the middle) with a person stood on stage

ALT Placebo Definition: A dummy drug which looks and taste the same as the treatment being tested. Importance: Ensures any benefits observed are entirely down to the treatment. Evidence can then be used to help get a beneficial treatment approved for use.
