Trial summary

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive disease that causes progressive muscle wasting and weakness due to loss of motor neurons in the spinal cord. This is a registered cohort of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type I,II and III in China. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Registered Cohort Study on Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive disease that causes progressive muscle wasting and weakness due to loss of motor neurons in the spinal cord. This is a registered cohort of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type I,II and III in China. This study will provide further insights into the clinical course of SMA including overall survival, demographic characteristics, motor function, respiratory support, feeding and nutritional support, growth and development. The correlation of genotype and phenotype will be conducted.

What is being measured

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

  1. The time to death

    Measured: From date of enrollment until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 20years

  2. The correlation of genotype and phenotype

    Genotype is defined by survival motor neuron (SMN) 2 copy number(s) and phenotype is defined by clinical types and characteristics.

    Measured: From date of enrollment until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 20years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Spinal Muscular Atrophy, run by Wan-Jin Chen at 1 site in China.

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