This study aims to find the correct dose of ARGX-119 for children with SMA. The study will also look at how safe the study drug is, how well it works, how it moves through the body, and how the immune system responds to it. The study consists of a double-blinded …
The purpose of this project is to investigate the utility of the SMA EFFORT, an SMA-specific patient-reported outcome measure, to assess perceived physical fatigability that is anchored to intensity and duration of activities. We aim to characterize perceived physical fatigability (PPF) in a diverse cohort of people with SMA (pwSMA) …
With the advent of new treatments for ASI, new phenotypes are emerging. The investigators propose to describe these new phenotypes by prospectively following children with ASI of all types treated with TRS and aged under 16 for 2 years. The investigators also propose to evaluate potential assessment tools to determine …
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 …
Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a severe neuromuscular disease caused by deletion of the SMN1 gene, with the most severe form leading to death in children without treatment. Genetic counselling to detect couples where both partners are carriers is particularly important. In some countries, preconception screening is offered. However, some …
This single-arm pilot study will assess the preliminary effectiveness of an intensive motor skill intervention (HABIT-ILE) combined with functional strength training (FST) in children with SMA who are receiving disease-modifying therapies. Participants will attend a HABIT-ILE + FST summer camp for 6 hours per day over a 3-week period, totaling …
The study objective is to determine the real-world safety and effectiveness of Vesemnogene lantuparvovec for the treatment of SMA. The specific objectives are: To determine clinical effectiveness of Vesemnogene lantuparvovec therapy for SMA as evaluated by developmental gross motor milestone and survival. To describe the safety profile of Vesemnogene therapy …
In this study, researchers will learn more about the effects and safety of BIIB115, also known as salanersen. Specifically, researchers will learn more about how salanersen works in individuals with SMA who are between the ages of 15 and 60 years old. In most people living with SMA, changes to …
Active-NBS is a study to evaluate the muscle development of patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) who are diagnosed at birth. Medicines have become available in the last decade, and many patients are treated very early. Treatments are most effective if used before the patient develops symptoms. However, some patients …
Spinal muscular atrophy is a genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle weakness, severely impacting patients' motor abilities. Several disease modifying therapies have been developed to treat Spinal muscular atrophy which have led to new disease trajectories . According to standard of care guidelines, exercise programs should be designed and monitored …
