Virtual Reality for the Mitigation of Anxiety During Intrathecal Administration in Participants With Spinal Muscular Atrophy
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate anxiety level during intrathecal administration (IT) under standard of care (SOC) and virtual reality (VR) conditions using a reliable self-rating scale.
Clinical Trial to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of EXG001-307 in Patients With Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate safety and efficacy of intravenous delivery of EXG001-307 as a treatment of spinal muscular atrophy Type 1 (SMN1).
Exploratory Study of Respiratory Bacterial Infections or Superinfections and Colonizations in Patients With Spinal Muscular Atrophy Under NIV
SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy) is a rare neuromuscular disease characterized by motoneuron damage. Symptoms consist of respiratory involvement with numerous respiratory infections and eventually respiratory failure, for which NIV (Non Invasive Ventilation) is often used. Ventilation machines are in close contact with the respiratory tract of patients. They contain heated …
Study of the Safety and Efficacy of an Adeno-Associated Viral Vector Carrying the SMN Gene After a Single Intravenous Administration of Escalating Doses in Children With Spinal Muscular Atrophy (BLUEBELL)
The goal of this multicenter, open-label, non-comparative, cohort study is to investigate the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of ANB-004 in children with spinal muscular atrophy. The study will have a standard 3+3 dose-escalation design.
Study of the Functional Effects of Nusinersen in 5q-spinal Muscular Amyotrophy Adults (SMA Type 2 or 3 Forms)
Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by a mutation of exon 7, in 95% of cases, encoding the gene for the motor neuron survival protein called SMN1 (Survival Motor Neuron) located on chromosome 5q. Patients with an SMA-5q mutation suffer from progressive muscle deficiency and subsequent …
Outpatient Rehabilitation Intervention for Young Children With SMA
An outpatient rehabilitation program for children (6 months to less than 6 years old) with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) treated with genetic based therapies is being studied. Participants will participate in a 12-week therapy program where they receive 45 minutes each of occupational therapy and physical therapy each week. Home …
Quantitative Assessment of Dysphagia in Spinal Muscle Atrophy
The major aim of this project is to assess comprehensively frequency and extent of dysphagia and bulbar dysfunction in SMA1, 2, and 3 patients by applying FEES and validated dysphagia scores. Further aims are to follow changes of dysphagia over time in newly diagnosed patients, and in subjects starting treatment …
The Effect of Aerobic Exercise Training in Patients With Type III Spinal Muscular Atrophy
In the last 10-15 years, a better understanding of the pathophysiology and molecular genetics of SMA has led to the emergence of previously unavailable pharmacological and genetic treatments.One of these new treatments, Nusinersen, targets SMN2, which is a slightly different copy of SMN1, and increases SMN protein levels. Preclinical studies …
Cell Signaling, Reinnervation and Metabolism in Kennedy Disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), is a rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disorder, usually leading to death from respiratory failure in 3-5 years. Riluzole, the only drug currently available, only modestly prolongs survival and does not improve muscle strength or function. In ALS, loss of functional motor neurons is initially compensated for by …
A Clinical Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of SKG0201 Injection in Patients With Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1
This is a clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of gene therapy drug SKG0201 Injection in patients with spinal muscular atrophy Type 1 (SMA 1).
