Who we are
The Critical Path for Alzheimer’s Disease (CPAD) consortium is a pre-competitive public-private partnership (PPP) dedicated to enhancing regulatory decision-making tools to accelerate and de-risk drug development for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia (ADRD).
How we do it
- CPAD is a global, neutral convener, bringing together diverse stakeholders across industry, regulatory agencies, and academia within a pre-competitive forum under a data-driven, regulatory framework to accelerate therapeutic innovation in AD.
- Leveraging the intellectual talent within CPAD and wealth of scientific knowledge gained from patient-level data contributions to CPAD, we identify the most critical unmet needs in AD and use our core competencies on data management, aggregation and analysis for informed decision making in AD drug development.
