Observational
The EUROSCA Natural History Study
NCT02440763 · tracked via the Priya Life Science Italy tracker
Condition(s) studied
Spinocerebellar Ataxia
Study summary
The key goals of EUROSCA-NHS is to determine and compare the rate of disease progression in SCA1, SCA2, SCA3 and SCA6 including determination of the order and occurrence of non-ataxia symptoms, assessment of activities of daily living (ADL) and quality of life (QoL), and identification of predictors of disease progression and survival.
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria:
* Progressive, otherwise unexplained ataxia
* Positive genetic testing for SCA1, SCA2, SCA3, and SCA6
* Written informed consent by the patient or his legal agent
Exclusion criteria:
None.
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Scale for the assessment and rating of ataxia (SARA) — Patients are first seen at a baseline visit, followed by annual visits for 3 years scheduled ± 3 months around the specified time point. After the initial 3 year observation period, visits are done at irregular intervals each time they went to hospital.
Progression of ataxia is measured using a newly developed and validated ataxia scale, SARA. SARA was evaluated in two large validation trials performed by the EUROSCA clinical group and was found to be easy to use, reliable, and valid.
