Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: SMA

Who may be able to join

  • -
  • Participants will be included in this study if they:
  • are non-rolling at time of enrollment
  • age birth to 25 months
  • have no concomitant system pathology that would limit clinical evaluation.
  • These inclusion criteria are set for both affected babies and healthy controls.

Who cannot join

  • Participants will be excluded from this study if they:
  • demonstrate evidence of renal dysfunction, central nervous system damage, neuro-degenerative or neuromuscular disease other than SMA type I or II;
  • require mechanical ventilation of any type > 16 hours per day.

About this study

The purpose of this study is to investigate the measurement properties of the Ability Captured Through Interactive Video Evaluation-mini (ACTIVE-mini) for quantifying movement in infants with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). Specifically, I will investigate within-day and between-day test-retest reliability and calculate the minimal detectable change of the ACTIVE-mini. Additionally, I will determine the concurrent validity of the ACTIVE-mini with The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Infant Test for Neuromuscular Disease (CHOP INTEND) and the construct validity of the ACTIVE-mini in infants with SMA using a known group methodology.

Read the detailed description

This study was a cross-sectional, repeated measure design, investigating the test-retest within- and between-day reliability and the convergent construct validity and the known-groups method construct validity of the ACTIVE-mini. The group variable included two levels (non-rolling infants with SMA and function matched non-rolling typically developing infants). The dependent variables included a predicted CHOP INTEND score determined by data captured by the ACTIVE-mini and the CHOP INTEND extremity score. The dependent variables were collected at two time points over two days at a minimum of 24 hours and no more than 30 days between collections. Variables were collected in a standard order of assessment. All participants underwent all assessments as set out in the procedures. Based on results from pilot data, the conclusion was made that the ACTIVE-mini could quantify infant movement parameters well enough to warrant further investigation. These data were important in establishing the feasibility of the specific aims of this research, because they provide initial validation of the ability of ACTIVE-mini to quantify basic infant movement parameters

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ACTIVE miniOther

    the ACTIVE-mini, is a non-invasive method of recording movement in an infant using a KINECT camera system. This camera is positioned over a resting infant and measures natural movement over a two minute time period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Spinal Muscular Atrophy, run by University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.

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 3 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 17 Jan 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

ACTIVE mini (time frame: 2 minutes). 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 17 Jan 2019.
