About this study

Official title: SMA Natural History Study Evaluating Long Term Trajectories of SMA Patients Receiving or Not Disease-modifying Treatments

This is an observational multicenter retrospective and prospective study on natural history of SMA also considering the 'new natural history' secondary to the availability of commercially available therapies.

All the patients enrolled to date in the Italian registry, if not part of clinical trials, will be included in the present study.

Read the detailed description

This is an observational multicenter retrospective and prospective study on natural history of SMA also considering the 'new natural history' secondary to the availability of commercially available therapies.

All patients affected by Spinal Muscular Atrophy 5q, irrespective of genotype, phenotype, age, treatment status or gender will be enrolled in the study .

The study aims to i) better understand the natural history of the disease in untreated patients in terms of functional aspects, concomitant illnesses, quality of life ii) describe the patterns of disease progression in treated and untreated patients in terms of functional aspects, concomitant illnesses, quality of life iii) Describe all the patients treated with the available therapies in Italy, in terms of demographic (age, location etc..) and epidemiological data All data from patients included in the study will be collected at each visit, following the clinical care protocols of each centre. Following care recommendation patients are generally routinely assessed at least every 6 months and, in many cases, every 4 months.

We plan to obtain

  • Longitudinal changes in untreated patients: The possibility to access reliable retrospective data will provide the opportunity to record long term functional data in untreated patients.
  • Yearly analysis of longitudinal changes in treated patients:
  • Two-year results of the validation of new measures (SMA HI, SMAIS): reporting the validation process (inter- and intra-observer reliability, internal consistency) and changes in relation to functional measures

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Spinal Muscular Atrophy, run by Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS at 5 sites in Italy.

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 1 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Italy. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Eugenio Mercuri, MD (063015 ext. 5340, eugeniomaria.mercuri@policlinicogemelli.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

motor function using the HFMSE (min score 0, max 74 indicating best performance) (time frame: 5 years). 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 14 Mar 2023.
