The mission of Accelerate Cures/Treatments for All Dementias (ACT-AD) is to support accelerating research and approval for transformational therapies to modify the progression, or relieve symptoms, of all dementias.
ACT-AD brings together companies, advocacy groups, and researchers to interact with the FDA outside of an IND to explore challenges and themes in ADRD clinical development. ACT-AD also provides an overview of research priorities for the NIA and coverage and reimbursement issues for new AD medical products. ACT-AD translates complex regulatory issues to a wide range of stakeholders, including patients and caregivers, to create more engagement on issues that would otherwise be restricted to regulators and companies.
Program objectives are:
Every year the FDA and ACT-AD convene a roundtable meeting to explore the current therapeutic and research landscape for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. Sessions address pertinent issues in the field of dementia research and include presentations from NIH/NIA funded investigators and private industry.
The 16th Annual FDA/ACT-AD Allies meeting Dementia Research Inroads: Where are we now? will be held November 16, 2023 at the Renaissance Washington, DC Downtown Hotel, 999 Ninth Street NW, Washington, DC. Attendance is by invitation only. View the agenda.
