About this study

Official title: International Spinal Muscular Atrophy Patient Registry

This is a registry of individuals affected by Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) and/or family members of individuals affected by SMA. The purpose of the registry is to allow researchers studying the biological basis of SMA and potential therapies in SMA access to individuals interested in participating in research and/or experimental therapies. The International SMA Patient Registry is supported by CureSMA.

Read the detailed description

This project is supported by CureSMA (http://curesma.org/).

The Registry functions as a liaison between patients and families interested in participating in research and researchers interested in studying SMA. The Registry contains information from 2,500 families and over 3,000 individuals with SMA from all over the world and continues to grow.

The Registry has helped recruit participants for clinical trials and has provided data for important SMA research studies. The Registry helps centralize information on this rare genetic disease, provides families a way to learn about research studies and provides researchers a way to find research participants.

Individuals and families affected by SMA are invited to join the Registry. Participants are asked to complete questionnaires about the symptoms, treatment, medications, and other experiences with SMA. Visit the Participant Portal for more information on how to sign up for the Registry.

Participant information is stored in a secure database. Researchers who are interested in studying SMA can request two types of data from the Registry, de-identified information and identifiable information. De-identified information does not contain any names or personal identifiers, and can be given to researchers without having to contact Registry families. Identifiable information includes information that can identify you and will never be released without getting your written permission to do so. Identifiable information includes data such as names and dates of birth. Some researchers may also request contact with families to obtain specific information or to request participation in a research study. In these instances, the Registry will contact each potential participant to ask if they are willing to share their identifiable information for a research project.

The Registry recognizes the importance of global collaboration. Working together with researchers from all over the world is very important in the investigation of SMA. In 2008 the Registry joined the group, Translational Research in Europe for the Assessment and Treatment of Neuromuscular Diseases (TREAT-NMD) in a global collaboration to further the research goals of the neuromuscular disease community. TREAT-NMD has developed a global database that compiles deidentified data transferred from participating registries around the world. The main objective of the TREAT-NMD database is to assess the feasibility of clinical trials, to facilitate the planning of clinical trials and to support the enrollment of patients in clinical trials. This international database will also be used to answer questions regarding the prevalence of particular neuromuscular disorders and assessing the support of other activities such as assessing standards of care and diagnosis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Muscular Atrophy, Spinal, run by Indiana University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Study is a patient registry (time frame: unlimited). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Aug 2018.
