Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Observational study of adult patients with spinal muscular atrophy types 2 and 3 receiving nusinersen

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase

Detailed Description

Observational study to assess effects of nusinersen on motor function in adult patients with spinal muscular atrophy who are both ambulatory and non-ambulatory. Subjects will receive standard of care with nusinersen intrathecal injection and undergo baseline and every 6 month motor assessments and pulmonary function testing during the first two years of treatment with nusinersen.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Change in quantitative motor function [Two years]

      Primary Endpoint: Change from baseline to end of study in quantitative motor strength by dynamometry of upper limb muscles - shoulder abduction and elbow flexion/extension.

    2. Change in upper limb motor function [Two years]

      Change from baseline to end of study in upper limb module score

    3. Change in 6 minute walk test in ambulatory patients [Two years]

      Change in 6 minute walk test from baseline to end of study

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Change in pulmonary function by spirometry forced vital capacity (FVC) [Two years]

      Change in FVC from baseline to end of study

    2. Change in 10 meter walk test in ambulatory patients [Two years]

      Change from baseline to end of study in the 10 meter walk test

    3. Change in compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitude by nerve conduction velocity (NCV) criteria [Two years]

      Change from baseline to end of study in CMAP amplitude of responses from median, ulnar and peroneal motor nerves

    4. Change in pulmonary function by spirometry forced expiratory volume (FEV) [Two years]

      Change from baseline to end of study in FEV
