Focus Sessions
Research into cell therapy treatment options for neurological disorders has progressed greatly in recent years, such that we now have multiple first-in-human trials across a range of conditions. There is an opportunity to use the experiences and knowledge from these trials to further inform the trials of the future. In this focus session we will visit the current state of clinical trials in cell therapy for neurological disorders, identify learnings from past trials, and explore future prospects. An expert faculty will discuss advances and learnings from cell-replacement therapy trials in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and spinal cord injury, and discuss considerations for future trials. The session will culminate in a faculty panel discussion with an audience Q&A session.
