Columbus, Ohio
In this study, researchers will learn more about the use of a higher dose of nusinersen (BIIB058) in participants with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). This study will focus on teenagers and adults who are unable to walk on their own and who have previously taken another drug for SMA called risdiplam.
The main goal of this study is to learn about the effect of high dose (HD) nusinersen on muscle and movement ability (motor function) in SMA. The main question that researchers want to answer is:
- How do the scores of a movement test called the Revised Upper Limb Module change from the start of treatment?
The Revised Upper Limb Module is a test used to measure a participant's ability to do specific tasks that involve their shoulders, arms, wrist, elbows, and hands. It measures the changes in their abilities over time.
Researchers will also learn more about the safety of HD nusinersen. They will check participants for adverse events and changes in vital signs, heart tests, and laboratory tests including blood and urine tests.
The study will be done as follows:
* Participants will be screened to check if they can join the study.
* After screening, participants will enter the Core Treatment period.
* At the start of the Core Treatment period, they will receive 2 "loading" doses of nusinersen. These are 50 mg doses of nusinersen given 2 weeks apart.
* Afterwards, they will continue to receive "maintenance" doses of nusinersen once every 4 months. These doses will be 28 mg.
* The Core Treatment period will last about 2 years, with a follow-up visit 4 months after the last dose.
* Participants who complete the Core Treatment period will have the option to continue receiving 28 mg of nusinersen in the Long-Term Extension (LTE) period for about 2 years. There will also be a follow-up visit 4 months after the last dose.
* Nusinersen will be given through a lumbar puncture, which involves injecting the drug into the fluid around the spinal cord in the lower back.
* In total, participants will have up to 18 study visits. They will also be called by researchers after each dose of nusinersen.
* Participants will stay in the study for about 4.5 years if they complete both the Core Treatment and LTE periods.

Nusinersen for Spinal Muscular Atrophy
London, Ontario
In this study, researchers will learn more about the use of nusinersen (BIIB058) in participants with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). This study is an extension study and will enroll only those participants who have completed treatment in the parent study, 232SM203.
The main goal of the study is to learn about the long-term safety of nusinersen. The main questions researchers want to answer are:
* How many participants have adverse events and serious adverse events during the study?
* How do the results of electrocardiograms (ECGs), vital signs, and laboratory tests including blood and urine tests change after treatment?
* How many participants have a low platelet count after treatment?
* How many participants had a change in the time it took for their heart to recharge between beats after treatment?
* How does each participant's height and other measures of growth change after treatment?
* How much do the results of neurological exams that check movement, reflexes, and brain function change after treatment?
Researchers will also learn about the effect of nusinersen on mobility using various tests. They will study body movements, reflexes, balance, and coordination. They will also record if participants need help with breathing.
The 232SM302 study will be done as follows:
* Participants will be screened to check if they can join the study.
* Participants will receive their 1st dose of nusinersen in this study about 4 months after their final dose in the parent study.
* Each participant will receive nusinersen once every 4 months during the treatment period.
* Nusinersen will be given through a lumbar puncture, which involves injecting the drug into the fluid around the spinal cord in the lower back.
* The treatment period will last for up to 64 months (1921 days).
* There will be a follow-up safety period that lasts from 4 to 8 weeks.
* In total, participants will have up to 19 study visits. Participants will stay in the study for close to 6 years.

Nusinersen for SMA
Chicago, Illinois
In this study, researchers will learn more about the use of nusinersen (BIIB058) in participants with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). This study will focus on children under the age of 3 who were previously treated with the gene therapy onasemnogene abeparvovec but are still facing health challenges related to their disease.
The main goal of the study is to learn about the effect nusinersen has on muscle and movement ability (motor function). The main question researchers want to answer is:
- What score do participants have on the HINE Section 2 Motor Milestones test after treatment?
The Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE) Section 2 Motor Milestones is an assessment that tests movements in different positions. This includes grasping, kicking, head control, rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, and walking.
Researchers will use a group of tests to study body movements, reflexes, balance, and coordination. They will also record if participants need help with breathing.
Researchers will also learn more about the safety of nusinersen. They will check participants for adverse events and changes in vital signs, heart tests, and laboratory tests including blood and urine tests.
The study will be done as follows:
* Participants will be screened to check if they can join the study.
* Each participant will receive 4 initial doses of 12 mg of nusinersen on Days 1, 15, 29, and 64 of the Treatment Period. Then, they will receive 12 mg doses once every 4 months.
* The total number of doses of nusinersen will be 9.
* Nusinersen will be given through a lumbar puncture, which involves injecting the drug into the fluid around the spinal cord in the lower back.
* The treatment period will last for up to 95 weeks (close to 2 years).
* There will be a follow-up safety period that lasts about 4 months.
* In total, participants will have up to 14 study visits. Participants will stay in the study for up to 115 weeks.

Why Other Patients Applied
I've been struggling with ADHD and anxiety since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 30. I really don't like how numb the medications make me feel. And especially now, that I've lost my grandma and my aunt 8 days apart, my anxiety has been even worse. So I'm trying to find something new.

I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me.

Nusinersen for Spinal Muscular Atrophy
Houston, Texas
In this PIERRE-PK study, researchers will learn how the body processes nusinersen when it is given through the ThecaFlex DRx™ System, compared to when nusinersen is given by lumbar puncture (LP). The ThecaFlex DRx system is an investigational implantable medical device developed by Alcyone Therapeutics, Inc. It consists of a catheter, which is a flexible tube, connected to a port which is placed under the skin. Alcyone Therapeutics, Inc. has an ongoing study called PIERRE to test the ThecaFlex DRx system. Participants with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) in the PIERRE study may be enrolled in the PIERRE-PK study.
The main objective of the PIERRE-PK study is to learn how the body processes nusinersen when given by the ThecaFlex DRx system compared to a lumbar puncture. The main questions researchers want to answer are:
* What is the highest amount of nusinersen found in the blood after dosing?
* How much nusinersen is found in the blood over the first 24 hours after dosing?
The PIERRE-PK study will be done as follows:
* Participants will be screened to check if they can join the study. The screening period will be up to 30 days for this study and may overlap with the PIERRE study.
* Participants will receive a dose of nusinersen by lumbar puncture.
* The ThecaFlex DRx system will be implanted after the lumbar puncture, as part of the PIERRE study.
* Participants will receive a dose of nusinersen by the ThecaFlex DRx system, as part of the PIERRE study.
* Researchers will take blood samples before and after each dose. The last blood sample will be taken 24 hours after the dose.
* The total study duration for each participant in the PIERRE-PK study will be up to 5 months. This period will overlap with the participant's first 5 months in the PIERRE study.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.How do clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length is 12 months.How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.Do I need to be insured to participate in a medical study ?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.What are the newest clinical trials ?
Most recently, we added Nusinersen for Spinal Muscular Atrophy, High-Dose Nusinersen for Spinal Muscular Atrophy and Nusinersen for Spinal Muscular Atrophy to the Power online platform.Popular Searches
