E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of the study is to examine the efficacy of multiple doses of Nusinersen administered intrathecally in preventing or delaying the need for respiratory intervention or death in infants with genetically diagnosed and presymptomatic spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary objectives of this study are to examine the effects of Nusinersen in infants with genetically diagnosed and presymptomatic SMA. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
- Age ≤ 6 weeks at first dose
- Genetic documentation of 5q SMA homozygous gene deletion or mutation or compound heterozygous mutation.
- Genetic documentation of 2 or 3 copies of survival motor neuron 2 (SMN2).
- Ulnar Compound muscle action potential (CMAP) ≥ 1 mV at Baseline.
- Gestational age of 37 to 42 weeks for singleton births; gestational age of 34 to 42 weeks for twins.
- Meet additional study related criteria. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
- Hypoxemia (oxygen saturation <96% awake or asleep without any supplemental oxygen or respiratory support).
- Any clinical signs or symptoms at Screening or immediately prior to the first dosing (Day1) that are, in the opinion of the Investigator, strongly suggestive of SMA.
- Clinically significant abnormalities in hematology or clinical chemistry parameters.
- Treatment with an investigational drug given for the treatment of SMA biological agent, or device. Any history of gene therapy, prior antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) treatment, or cell transplantation.
- Meet additional study related criteria. |
