The French company Pharnext, CMT scientific experts, and international patient advocacy organizations (PAOs) have partnered to study the impact of CMT on patients’ daily lives. The result of that partnership is the CMT&Me study, which Pharnext is sponsoring over two years in six countries: the US, UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain. The aim of the study is to collect real time data directly from patients, who describe what it is like to live with CMT. The study also aims to find out how treatment can improve patient quality of life and slow CMT progression. Pharnext hopes this information will help researchers develop better treatments for CMT.
