Brief Summary:
In this single-center trial, we will evaluate the effects of NaPB on presymptomatic Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) type I (cohort 1)and presymptomatic SMA type II (cohort 2) infants. A variety of outcome measures will be performed at each study visit to follow the course of the disease. Total duration of the study for type I infants will be 18 months, for type II infants, 24 months.
Detailed Description:
Perform a phase I/II study to evaluate effects of sodium phenylbutyrate (NaPB) in a cohort of presymptomatic infants, predicted to develop either SMA type 1 or SMA type 2 given genotype and family history of an older sibling with the respective SMA type. Primary outcomes: 1) to collect additional safety and pharmacokinetic data in neonates and young infants administered NaPB within the dosing guidelines already in use for urea cycle disorder therapy, and 2) to determine possible benefit of early treatment intervention with regard to status of denervation and functional motor status at specific time points for which we have matched natural history data to perform a comparison between cohorts and between each cohort and participants from our natural history database matched for age, SMN2 dosage and gender.
