(Presentations are linked in the agenda, below.)
Overview and Objectives
The Coalition Against Major Diseases (CAMD) is a public-private partnership aimed at developing creating Drug Development Tools that can be applied to increase the efficiency of the development process of new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related dementias. The annual meeting, which is open to the public, brings together members from the pharmaceutical industry, academic key opinion leaders, NIA, FDA, EMA and advocacy groups. The objectives of the meeting are:
- To understand accomplishments of CAMD’s scientific project teams;
- To discuss how these tools are currently, or will be applied in drug development;
- To obtain commitment for sharing information/data to begin quantifying benefits of these tools;
- To facilitate robust and open discussion among all parties of drug development for the treatment of dementias.
Experts in the fields of Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases and leaders of the patient stakeholder community will deliver keynote presentations and regulatory science will be prominently featured throughout the meeting.
