E.2 Objective of the trial

E.2.1

Main objective of the trial

Safety
• Evaluate the safety of AVXS-101 through incidence of adverse events (AEs) and/or serious adverse events (SAEs)
•Evaluate the safety of AVXS-101 based on the change from baseline in clinical laboratory parameters
Efficacy objectives will be assessed independently for each cohort.
Efficacy for patients with bi-allelic SMN1 deletions and 2 copies of SMN2:
•Assess the efficacy of AVXS-101 by demonstrating functional independent sitting for at least 30 seconds as defined by Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development© Version 3 (BSIDv03) Gross Motor Subset Item #26 at any visit up to 18 months of age
Efficacy for patients with 3 copies of SMN2:
•Assess the efficacy of AVXS-101 based on the proportion of patients achieving the ability to stand without support for at least three seconds as defined by Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development© Version 3 (BSIDv03) Gross Motor Subset Item #40 at any visit up to 24 months of age

E.2.2

Secondary objectives of the trial

Efficacy for patients with 2 copies of SMN2:
•Determine the efficacy of AVXS-101 based on survival, defined as avoidance of death or the requirement of permanent ventilation in the absence of acute illness or perioperatively as assessed at 14 months of age
•Assess efficacy of AVXS-101 by demonstrating the ability to maintain weight at or above the third percentile without need for non-oral/mechanical feeding support at any visit up to 18 months of age

Efficacy for patients with 3 copies of SMN2:
•Assess the efficacy of AVXS-101 by demonstrating the ability to walk alone defined as the ability to take at least five steps independently displaying coordination and balance, as defined by BSIDv03 Gross Motor Subtest Item #43, at any visit up to 24 months of age

E.2.3

Trial contains a sub-study

E.3

Principal inclusion criteria

All patients:
•Age ≤6 weeks (≤42 days) at time of dose
•Ability to tolerate thin liquids as demonstrated through a formal bedside swallowing test
•Compound muscle action potential (CMAP) ≥2 mV at Baseline
•Gestational age of 35 to 42 weeks
•Genetic diagnosis as described below, obtained from an acceptable newborn or pre-natal screening test method

Patients with 2 copies of SMN2
•Patients with pre-symptomatic SMA Type 1 as determined by the following features:
•Bi-allelic deletion of SMN1
•2 copies of SMN2

Patients with 3 copies of SMN2
•Patients with pre-symptomatic SMA Type 2 as determined by the following features:
•Bi-allelic deletion of SMN1
•3 copies of SMN2

E.4

Principal exclusion criteria

•Weight at screening visit <2 kg
•Hypoxemia (oxygen saturation <96% awake or asleep without any supplemental oxygen or respiratory support) at the screening visit
•Any clinical signs or symptoms at screening or immediately prior to dosing that are, in the opinion of the Investigator, strongly suggestive of SMA (e.g., tongue fasciculation, hypotonia, areflexia)
•Tracheostomy or current prophylactic use or requirement of non invasive ventilatory support at any time and for any duration prior to screening or during the screening period
•Patients with signs of aspiration/inability to tolerate non thickened liquids based on a formal swallowing test performed as part of screening or patients receiving any non-oral feeding method
•Clinically significant abnormal laboratory values (GGT, ALT and AST, or total bilirubin > 2 x the ULN, creatinine ≥ 1.0 mg/dL, haemoglobin [Hgb] < 8 or > 18 g/dL; white blood cell [WBC] > 20,000 per cmm) prior to gene replacement therapy. Patients with an elevated bilirubin level that is unequivocally the result of neonatal jaundice shall not be excluded.
•Patients with any other clinically significant abnormalities in hematology or clinical chemistry parameters as determined by the investigator or medical monitor
•Treatment with an investigational or commercial product, including nusinersen, given for the treatment of SMA. This includes any history of gene therapy, prior antisense oligonucleotide treatment, or cell transplantation.
•Patients whose weight-for-age is below the third percentile based on World Health Organization (WHO) Child Growth Standards
•Serious non respiratory tract illness requiring systemic treatment and/or hospitalization within 2 weeks prior to screening
•Upper or lower respiratory infection requiring medical attention, medical intervention, or increase in supportive care of any manner within 4 weeks prior to dosing
•Previous, planned or expected major surgical procedure including scoliosis repair surgery/procedure during the study assessment period
•Concomitant use of any of the following: drugs for treatment of myopathy or neuropathy, agents used to treat diabetes mellitus, or ongoing immunosuppressive therapy, plasmapheresis, immunomodulators such as adalimumab, immunosuppressive therapy within 4 weeks prior to gene replacement therapy (e.g., corticosteroids, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, methotrexate, cyclophosphamide, IV immunoglobulin, rituximab)
•Anti AAV9 antibody titer >1:50 as determined by Enzyme linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) binding immunoassay
