MAP THE SMA: a Machine-learning Based Algorithm to Predict THErapeutic Response in Spinal Muscular...

Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is caused by the homozygous loss of the Survival Motor Neuron (SMN) 1 gene, which leads to degeneration of spinal alpha-motor neurons and muscle atrophy. Three treatments have been approved for SMA but the available data show interpatient variability in therapy response and, to date, individual factors such as age or SMN2 copies,cannot fully explain this variance. The aim of this project is: collect clinical data and patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) from patients treated with nusinersen, risdiplam, onasemnogene abeparvovec, identify novel biomarkers and RNA molecular signature profiling, develop a predictive algorithm using artificial intelligence (AI) methodologies based on machine learning (ML), able to integrate clinical outcomes, patients' characteristics, and specific biomarkers. This effort will help to better stratify the SMA patients and to predict their therapeutic outcome, thus to address patients towards personalized therapies.

UK SMA Patient Registry

Spinal Muscular AtrophySMA

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a form of motor neuron disease, most commonly caused by a mutation in the survival motor neuron 1 gene (SMN1) which results in a wide disease spectrum affecting children and adults. It is an autosomal recessive disorder and is therefore caused by inheritance of a mutated gene from each parent. All forms of SMA have an estimated combined incidence of 1 in 6,000 to 1 in 10,000 live births, with a carrier frequency of 1/40 to 1/60. The patient registry aims to facilitate a questionnaire-based research study in order to better characterise and understand the disease in the UK and in Ireland. Entry is via self-registration over a secure internet connection (https://www.sma-registry.org.uk/). Online, patients are asked to read an information sheet about the research project and then indicate their consent to demonstrate willingness to participate. Following online consent, subjects will be entered into the registry. This is an on-going database and all participants are invited to update their information on a biannual basis.

Phenotype, Genotype and Biomarkers 2

Amyotrophic Lateral SclerosisHereditary Spastic Paraplegia3 more

The purpose of this study is to learn more about amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other related neurodegenerative diseases, including frontotemporal dementia (FTD), primary lateral sclerosis (PLS), hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), progressive muscular atrophy (PMA) and multisystem proteinopathy (MSP). More precisely, the investigator wants to identify the links that exist between the disease phenotype (phenotype refers to observable signs and symptoms) and the disease genotype (genotype refers to your genetic information). The investigator also wants to identify biomarkers of ALS and related diseases.

Thigh Muscle Mass and Muscle Wasting in Patients in the Emergency Department

SepsisCardiac Arrest4 more

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate whether thigh muscle mass and muscle wasting are associated with mortality in patients who visit the emergency department. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is thigh muscle mass associated with mortality in patient who visit the emergency department? Does muscle wasting exist during staying in the emergency department? Is muscle wasting associated with mortality in patient who visit the emergency department? Participants will be evaluated for serial thigh muscle mass using point-of-care ultrasound at the emergency department.

Rare Disease Patient Registry & Natural History Study - Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford...

Rare DisordersUndiagnosed Disorders316 more

CoRDS, or the Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford, is based at Sanford Research in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It provides researchers with a centralized, international patient registry for all rare diseases. This program allows patients and researchers to connect as easily as possible to help advance treatments and cures for rare diseases. The CoRDS team works with patient advocacy groups, individuals and researchers to help in the advancement of research in over 7,000 rare diseases. The registry is free for patients to enroll and researchers to access. Visit sanfordresearch.org/CoRDS to enroll.

Ultrasound Measurement of Quadriceps Shortening During Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation in Critically...

ICU Acquired WeaknessQuadriceps Muscle Atrophy

ICU-Aw is highly prevalent (50%) among critically ill patients. Its diagnosis is usually delayed as it requires patients' awakening and collaboration to provide accurate measurement. This study aims to investigate the accuracy of an early ultrasound measurement of quadriceps shortening during neuromuscular electrical stimulation to diagnose future ICU-Aw in critically ill patients.

ALS/MND Natural History Study Data Repository

ALSPLS4 more

This is a data repository for multi-site multi-protocol clinic-based Natural History Study of ALS and Other Motor Neuron Disorders (MND). All people living with ALS or other MNDs who attend clinics at the Study hospitals (sites) are offered to participate in the Study. The Sites collect so-called Baseline information including demographics, disease history and diagnosis, family history, etc. At each visit, the Sites also collect multiple disease-specific outcome measures and events. The information is captured in NeuroBANK, a patient-centric clinical research platform. The Sites have an option to choose to collect data into 20+ additional forms capturing biomarkers and outcome measures. Captured data after its curation are anonymized (all personal identifiers and dates are being removed), and the anonymized dataset is shared with medical researchers via a non-exclusive revocable license.
