In February 2024, ALS TDI launched the ALS Trial Navigator, a set of online tools designed to help people with ALS find clinical trials. Users can fill out a questionnaire to be matched with trials that meet their criteria, search a global database of studies, and even find sites close to them on an interactive map.

Dr. Nadia Sethi, an ALS advocate who became a clinical trial expert after her husband Sundeep was diagnosed with the disease, was instrumental in the conception, design, and rollout of the tool.

As we approach one year since the launch of the ALS Trial Navigator, Dr. Sethi joins us to talk about what went into creating this comprehensive database of ALS clinical trials and how her experience helped inspire it. In a first for this show, she also had some questions for the host – Jonathan and Nadia worked together closely during the design of the tool and continue to collaborate to maintain it.
