Spinal Muscular Atrophy clinical trials at UC Davis
2 in progress, 1 open to eligible people
Registry of Patients With a Diagnosis of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)
open to all eligible people
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neurogenetic disorder caused by a loss or mutation in the survival motor neuron 1 gene (SMN1) on chromosome 5q13, which leads to reduced SMN protein levels and a selective dysfunction of motor neurons. SMA is an autosomal recessive, early childhood disease with an incidence of 1:10,000 live births. SMA is the leading cause of infant mortality due to genetic diseases. The purpose of this registry is to assess the long term outcomes of patients with SMA in the context of advances in treatment options and also to characterize and assess long-term safety and effectiveness of OAV-101.

Risdiplam in Participants With Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
A multi-center, longitudinal, prospective, non-comparative study to investigate the long-term safety and effectiveness of risdiplam, prescribed based on clinician judgment as per the Evrysdi® U.S. Package Information (USPI) in adult and pediatric participants with SMA. In this study, participants will be followed for approximately 24 months from enrollment or until withdrawal of consent, loss to follow-up, or death. Participants who discontinue risdiplam may still remain in the study if they agree to continue participating in the follow-up assessments. An optional sub-study was planned to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and adherence of remote assessment of motor and bulbar functions in participants with SMA using wearable and smartphone-based biosensors. This substudy was withdrawn upon implementation of protocol version 4.
