We’re delighted to invite you to our sixth Stop MS Appeal lecture, which will once again be taking place online – on Wednesday 2 June from 6.30pm.
The subject this year will be our multi-arm, multi-stage trial platform, Octopus (click here to find out more about Octopus). And the lecture will be presented by the lead investigators - Professor Jeremy Chataway (MS Clinical Lead at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square) and Professor Max Parmar (Director of the MRC Clinical Trials Unit at UCL).
Our Stop MS Appeal aims to find effective treatments to slow or stop disability progression for everyone with MS. Octopus will be vital in helping us to achieve our aim by combining multiple trials into one efficient trials platform. This makes it possible to test new treatments up to three times faster than we currently do. Join the professors as they explain our Octopus journey so far - bringing together experts from different fields to plan the trial, developing Octopus’ complicated design and ensuring the trial is ready to open to participants later this year.
The lecture will be followed by a panel session with our esteemed Scientific Ambassadors, where guests will be invited to ask any questions they may have.
