New study tracks how SMA kids change on modern treatments
NCT ID NCT06321965
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 60 children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) who are already receiving SMN-restoring therapies like nusinersen or gene therapy. Over two years, researchers will track their muscle function, fatigue, breathing, and thinking skills to describe new disease patterns that have emerged with these treatments. The goal is to better understand how SMA evolves today and to find better ways to monitor children in routine care and future trials.

Inclusion Criteria: * Genetically confirmed infantile or juvenile spinal muscular atrophy * Treated with a therapy that restores SMN protein expression (e.g. nusinersen, risdiplam, onasemnogene abeparvovec) * Aged 0 to 15 years inclusive * Informed consent signed by both parent(s)/legal guardian(s) and patient's assent * Affiliated or beneficiary of a health insurance plan\*. \* for inclusion in France Exclusion Criteria: * Other condition likely to interfere significantly with ASI assessment and clearly unrelated to the disease * Other associated neurological disease * Current pregnancy or breast-feeding (a pregnancy test will also be performed at inclusion). Please note that patients with a specific contraindication to MRI (i.e. metallic foreign body, claustrophobia and other reasons determined by the investigators) will be allowed to participate in the study, but MRI will not be performed.
