Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are children and adults in Spain with genetically confirmed 5q SMA who (or whose caregivers) can provide informed consent and receive care at participating centers.

Probably not a fit

Patients with non-5q SMA, those unable to provide consent without a legal representative, and those actively enrolled in clinical trials (while they remain enrolled) may not benefit from participation.

What this trial studies

CuidAME is a retrospective and prospective multicenter registry in Spain that collects pseudo-anonymized clinical, genetic, treatment, and outcome data using the TREAT‑NMD SMA Core Dataset plus steering committee additions. Patients with genetically confirmed 5q SMA, treated or untreated, are followed according to routine clinical practice, with motor outcomes captured every six months for those on disease-modifying therapies and at least annually for those not on DMTs. Data are collected for an initial minimum of five years and may be extended with funder agreement, and participation does not change clinical care or visit schedules. Data from concurrent clinical trials are not collected during trial enrollment unless sponsor permission is obtained.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the registry could improve understanding of real-world disease progression and treatment effects in Spain, guiding clinical care and future research.

How similar studies have gone: Other national and international SMA registries based on TREAT‑NMD principles have successfully described natural history and real-world treatment outcomes, so this approach aligns with established methods.
