The Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood Foundation (AHCF) is proud to sponsor the scientific workshop titled “Achieving Consensus on Definitions and Outcomes for Natural History Studies and Clinical Trials in ATP1A3 Related Disorders.” Co-chaired by Dr Kathryn Swoboda and Dr Allison Brashear, the full day workshop will take place concurrent with the AHCF Family Meeting on June 27th in Minneapolis, MN.

The primary purpose of the workshop is to bring together key stakeholders from diverse backgrounds to better educate the community about the diversity and complexity of neurologic phenotypes associated with mutations in ATP1A3, and to identify and prioritize key milestones for success in moving towards targeted therapies for ATP1A3 disorders. Key stakeholders include: patient family members, scientists, clinical investigators and physicians caring for such patients. A critical goal for this meeting includes working towards consensus on definitions and outcome measures that are both clinically meaningful to patients as well as practical to assess in the context of clinical studies and trials.
