Effect of Nusinersen on Adults With Spinal Muscular Atrophy
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
- 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.
- Change in upper limb motor function [Two years]
Change from baseline to end of study in upper limb module score
- 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
- Change in pulmonary function by spirometry forced vital capacity (FVC) [Two years]
Change in FVC from baseline to end of study
- Change in 10 meter walk test in ambulatory patients [Two years]
Change from baseline to end of study in the 10 meter walk test
- 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
- Change in pulmonary function by spirometry forced expiratory volume (FEV) [Two years]
Change from baseline to end of study in FEV
