Registry for patients with spinal muscular atrophy
Official title: A Prospective, Long-Term Registry of Patients With a Diagnosis of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)
Run by Novartis · NCT04174157 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is tracking patients with spinal muscular atrophy over 15 years to see how well the new treatment OAV-101 (Zolgensma) works and how the disease progresses in real life.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include patients with a genetically confirmed diagnosis of SMA who have been treated with OAV-101.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients currently enrolled in interventional clinical trials involving investigational treatments for SMA may not benefit from this registry.

What this trial studies
This observational registry aims to assess the long-term outcomes of patients diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) in light of new treatment options, particularly focusing on the safety and effectiveness of OAV-101 (Zolgensma). The study will follow patients for up to 15 years, allowing researchers to gather data on the natural progression of the disease and the impact of treatment in a real-world clinical setting. Patients will receive standard clinical care as determined by their healthcare providers, without additional protocol-driven interventions.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this registry could provide valuable insights into the long-term effects of SMA treatments, improving patient care and outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: While observational studies have been conducted in similar contexts, this registry specifically focuses on the long-term outcomes of SMA patients treated with OAV-101, making it a novel approach.
Who can join: the full rules
Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients treated with OAV-101 with a genetically confirmed diagnosis of SMA regardless of the date of diagnosis. * Appropriate consent/assent has been obtained for participation in the registry Exclusion Criteria: \- Currently enrolled in an interventional clinical trial involving an investigational medicinal product to treat SMA. Note: Patients who are participating in a Compassionate Use Program (CUP) for OAV-101 (Zolgensma) such as a Managed Access Program (MAP), an Expanded Access Program (EAP), Single Patient Investigational New Drug (IND) (SPI) or Named Patient Program (NPP) are eligible to enroll in the registry regardless of the date of a genetic or clinical diagnosis of SMA.
