Study Description

Brief Summary:

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neurogenetic disorder caused by a loss or mutation in the survival motor neuron 1 gene (SMN1) on chromosome 5q13, which leads to reduced SMN protein levels and a selective dysfunction of motor neurons. SMA is an autosomal recessive, early childhood disease with an incidence of 1:10,000 live births. SMA is the leading cause of infant mortality due to genetic diseases.

Until recently, the mainstay of treatment for these patients was supportive medical care. However, advances in medical treatment focusing on gene replacement, gene enhancement, motor neuron protection and muscle enhancement is likely to change the management and prognosis of these patients in the future.

The purpose of this registry is to assess the long term outcomes of patients with SMA in the context of advances in treatment options.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Other: Prospective observational registry Drug: Zolgensma

Expanded Access : An investigational treatment associated with this study has been approved for sale to the public.   More info ...

Detailed Description:
This is a prospective, multi center, multinational, non-interventional observational study. All patients will be managed according to the clinical site's normal clinical practice, i.e., the diagnostic and clinical treatment/practice process that a clinician chooses according to their clinical judgement for an SMA patient. Clinical care will not be driven by the protocol. No additional visits or investigations will be performed beyond normal clinical practice. Patients will be followed for 15 years from enrolment or until death, whichever is sooner.

Group/Cohort Intervention/treatment
Prospective observational registry
This is a prospective, multi center, multinational, non-interventional observational registry.
 Other: Prospective observational registry
This prospective observational registry will assess long-term outcomes of patients with a diagnosis of SMA.

Drug: Zolgensma
Zolgensma will be given to patients as per normal clinical practice and clinical care will not be mandated by the protocol. As such, the decision to prescribe Zolgensma is separate from the decision to include the patient in this study


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in probability of survival of all patients with SMA using Kaplan Meier method to estimate [ Time Frame: Based on information collected at Baseline and every 6 months through 2 years of follow-up, then annually through 15 years of follow up. ]
  2. Change from baseline Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Infant Test of Neuromuscular Disorders (CHOP-INTEND) in infants with pre-symptomatic or type I SMA [ Time Frame: Baseline and every 6 months through 2 years of follow up, then annually through 15 years of follow up ]
    CHOP INTEND score ranges from 0 to 64 with higher scores indicating higher motor function

  3. Change from baseline Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE) in infants with pre-symptomatic, type I or type II SMA [ Time Frame: Baseline and every 6 months through 2 years of follow up, then annually through 15 years of follow up ]
    HINE score range from 0 to 26 with higher scores indicating more development.

  4. Change from baseline in Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale Expanded (HFMSE) for patients with type II and III SMA [ Time Frame: Baseline and every 6months through 2 years of follow up, then annually through 15 years of follow up ]
    HFMSE score range from 0 to 66 with the higher scores indicating more development.

  5. Incidence of treatment emergent adverse events [ Time Frame: Through 15 years of follow up ]
  6. Incidence of treatment emergent serious adverse events [ Time Frame: Through 15 years of follow up ]
  7. Incidence of treatment emergent adverse events related to therapy [ Time Frame: Through 15 years of follow up ]
  8. Incidence of treatment emergent thrombocytopenia, hepatotoxicity and cardiac adverse events [ Time Frame: Through 15 years of follow up ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change from baseline in rates of hospitalization [ Time Frame: Baseline and every 6 months through 2 years of follow up, then annually through 15 years of follow up ]
  2. Change from baseline in Zarit Burden Interview [ Time Frame: Baseline and every 6 months through 2 years of follow up, then annually through 15 years of follow up ]
    Zarit Burden Total Score ranges from 0 to 88. A higher score correlates with higher level of burden.

  3. Change from baseline in PedsQL Patient interview [ Time Frame: Baseline and every 6 months through 2 years of follow up, then annually through 15 years of follow up ]
    PedsQL Total Scale Score is average of all items and ranges from 0 to 100. A higher score correlates with better Health-Related Quality of Life

  4. Change from baseline in PedsQL Parent interview [ Time Frame: Baseline and every 6 months through 2 years of follow up, then annually through 15 years of follow up ]
    PedsQL Total Scale Score is average of all items and ranges from 0 to 100. A higher score correlates with better Health-Related Quality of Life

  5. Change from baseline in percent of patients requiring ventilator support (BiPAP, Endotracheal tube) [ Time Frame: : Baseline and every 6 months through 2 years of follow up, then annually through 15 years of follow up ]
  6. Change from baseline in in percent of patients requiring nutritional support (Gastrostomy Tube, Gastrojejunal tube (GT) with Nissen fundoplication, GT without Nissen fundoplication, Nasogastrictube, Nasojejunaltube or Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy) [ Time Frame: Baseline and every 6 months through 2 years of follow up, then annually through 15 years of follow up ]
  7. Change from baseline in in percent of patients requiring mobility device support (Ankle-Foot Orthoses, Supramalleolar Orthosis, Orthotic/shoe inserts, Knee immobilizers, Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthoses , Hand splints, Spinal bracing) [ Time Frame: : Baseline and every 6 months through 2 years of follow up, then annually through 15 years of follow up ]
