About this study

NatHis-SMA is a prospective, longitudinal and interventional study of the natural history of patients with type 2 and 3 Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). The purpose of this study is to characterize the disease course over 2 years and identify prognostic variables of the disease and biomarkers of SMA progression, as well as determine the best outcome measures for further therapeutics approaches.

Being tested
Strength, function and activity measurements, Muscle MRI, Electrophysiology measurements, Blood sampling for biomarker analysis
Keywords
SMA, Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Neuromuscular disease
Medical subject headings
Spinal Muscular Atrophies of Childhood, Muscular Atrophy, Spinal, Neuromuscular Diseases

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change from baseline of muscle strength

    Study-specific assessments: Grip and pinch strength

    Measured: Baseline and then every 6 months until end of the study, up to 24 months

  2. Change from baseline of motor function

    Study-specific assessments: Moviplate and MFM scores, upper extremity functional reaching volume, timed tests (time to rise from floor, time to walk 10 meters, time to climb and descend stairs, distance walked on the Six-Minute Walk Test)

    Measured: Baseline and then every 6 months until end of the study, up to 24 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change from baseline of respiratory function

    Study-specific assessments: Pulmonary function tests

    Measured: Baseline and then every 6 months until end of the study, up to 24 months

  2. Change from baseline of physical activity of upper limbs movements

    Quantity and duration of movements, time of inactivity during the day

    Measured: Baseline and then every 6 months until end of the study, up to 24 months

  3. Change from baseline of skeletal muscle nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging (MRI)

    Muscle volume changes, intramuscular fatty infiltration progression, indices of disease activity (only for Paris and Strasbourg sites and for patients older than 4 years)

    Measured: Baseline and then every 12 months until the end of the study, up to 24 months

  4. Change from baseline of electrophysiology measurements

    Compound Motor Action Potential (CMAP) Amplitude and Decrement search

    Measured: Baseline and then every 6 months until end of the study, up to 24 months

  5. Change from baseline of Biomarkers of SMA progression

    SMN mRNA and protein analysis, SMA exploratory biomarkers (e.g. mRNA, DNA profiling, RNA profiling, proteomic profiling)

    Measured: Baseline and then every 6 months until end of the study, up to 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Strength, function and activity measurements, Muscle MRI and Electrophysiology measurements in people with Type 2 Spinal Muscular Atrophy and Type 3 Spinal Muscular Atrophy, run by Institut de Myologie, France at 9 sites in 3 countries.

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 6 inclusion and 5 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 19 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in France, Belgium, Germany. 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?

Change from baseline of muscle strength (time frame: Baseline and then every 6 months until end of the study, up to 24 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02391831, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Jul 2018.
