ADAPT (4)

What is ADAPT?

ADAPT (Antitrypsin Deficiency Assessment and Programme for Treatment) is a non NHS funded research programme and has been established by researchers who have an international reputation for their research into the causes of emphysema, in collaboration with the pharmaceutical company Bayer.
ADAPT’s mission is to rapidly collect important information about how AAT deficiency affects you and your family. In addition to being helpful to you in understanding the effects of AAT deficiency on your lungs, this information will be critical to the design of clinical studies of the effects of treatment of the disease.

Finally, ADAPT will provide an information service to you and your relatives to explain how AAT deficiency influences you, your health, and your lifestyle.

ADAPT News
is an occasional booklet which gives information about the disease, research and treatment. Back copies are available from the ADAPT office, contact details below.
