The Accelerating Medicines Partnership Alzheimer’s Disease (AMP AD Phase 2) is a new precompetitive public-private partnership that will enable precision medicine research for Alzheimer’s Disease through deep and longitudinal molecular analyses across diverse populations to provide insights that will accelerate the development of therapies for Alzheimer’s Disease.
The National Institute of Nursing Research hosted a two-day Summit to gather a variety of stakeholder perspectives on the spectrum of caregiving issues and research for conditions and illnesses that may occur across the lifespan.
Sarcopenia 2 seeks to establish evidence-based cut-points for muscle mass and strength and determine their predictive validity for clinically meaningful outcomes (such as mobility, fractures, hospitalization and death); evaluate relative strength as a discriminator for mobility limitation and incident disability; and explore the potential usefulness of sarcopenia as a clinical endpoint in randomized clinical trials.
The Sarcopenia 1 project launched in 2010 and aimed to establish the first evidence-based definition of sarcopenia (muscle weakness), which is still not recognized as a medical condition.
