Characterizing Perceived Physical Fatigability in Nusinersen-treated SMA
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) …
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 …
HABIT-ILE + FST in Children With SMA: Preliminary Effectiveness
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 …
An International Federated Model for Wearable-derived Remote Longitudinal Motor Monitoring in Young Children With Spinal Muscular Atrophy Compared With Healthy Controls: Active-NBS Study (UK)
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 …
VRehab-SMA Phase 1.2
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 …
Comprehensive Analysis Platform To Understand, Remedy and Eliminate ALS
CAPTURE ALS is a long-term data and biorepository platform that will facilitate future ALS research. CAPTURE ALS will provide the standardized systems and tools necessary to collect, store, and analyze vast amounts of multimodal information about ALS. These multimodal datasets and biosamples will be made available for use by researchers …
Exploring Bulbar Function, Speech And Communication Development in SMA Type 1
5q-spinal muscular atrophy (5q-SMA) is a rare, autosomal recessive neuromuscular disease characterized by degeneration of motor neurons in the spinal cord and lower brainstem with progressive muscle atrophy, weakness, and paralysis. The incidence is 1 in 7-10,000 live births. 5q-SMA presents a wide range of phenotypes that are classified into …
A Placebo-controlled Study of Clenbuterol in Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy
There is no cure to arrest or delay SBMA progression. It is estimated that \~1000 individuals are affected by SBMA in Italy at any given time (prevalence: 1.5/100000) with an annual incidence of 0.19/100000 males. Here, we are going to test the potential of beta2-agonist stimulation on muscle as a …
Clinical Trial of Mexiletine Hydrochloride for Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mexiletine hydrochloride in patients with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does mexiletine hydrochloride improve the ALSFRS-R score in spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy patients? Participants will: Take mexiletine …
Impairments of Neuro-muscular Communication in Motor-Neuron Disease: A Bio-Marker for Early and Personalised Diagnosis
Motor neuron disease (MND) or ALS is a nervous system disease. ALS leads to a loss of movement ability that eventually leads to death. At the moment, there is no known treatment for ALS. Early diagnosis in individuals improves clinical care and facilitates timely entry into clinical trials. However, current …
