New study tracks Risdiplam's Real-World impact on spinal muscle atrophy
NCT ID NCT07531719
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study will observe 30 children with type I or type II spinal muscle atrophy who are taking risdiplam. Researchers will track motor function improvements over 24 months using standard tests. The goal is to see how well the drug works in everyday medical practice.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- risdiplam
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could provide real-world evidence on how well risdiplam improves motor function in young children with spinal muscle atrophy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be less definitive. It is also small (30 participants) and not yet recruiting.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Maximum age to be 6 months for type I participants and 5 years for type II participants at the time of diagnosis. * Participants must start/have started treatment with Risdiplam within 6 months of diagnosis. * Participant to be receiving adequate nutrition and hydration at index date, in the opinion of the Investigator. * Participant to be adequately recovered from any acute illness at the time index date. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants not receiving treatment for disease with Risdiplam according to standard of care and in line with the current summary of product characteristics (SPC)/local labeling. * Participants not receiving the Roche studied medicinal product, but a biosimilar. * Concomitant or previous administration in any investigational drug or device study. * Concomitant or previous administration of approved treatment for SMA other than Risdiplam. * Unstable gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic, endocrine or cardiovascular system diseases at index date. * Participants requiring invasive ventilation or tracheostomy at index date. * Participants requiring awake non-invasive ventilation due to respiratory insufficiency or with awake hypoxemia with or without ventilator support or with history of respiratory failure or severe pneumonia, and have not fully recovered their pulmonary function at the time of index date. * Severe contractures of joints of lower limbs and upper limbs at the time of index date.
