E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | Yes |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
• Determine efficacy by demonstrating achievement of developmental milestone of functional independent sitting for at least 30 seconds at the 18 months of age. • Determine the efficacy based on survival at 14 months of age. Survival is defined by avoidance of combined endpoint of either (a) death or (b) permanent ventilation, which is defined by tracheostomy or by the requirement of ≥ 16 hours of respiratory assistance per day for ≥ 14 consecutive days in the absence of an acute reversible illness, excluding perioperative ventilation. Permanent ventilation, so defined, is considered a surrogate for death. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• Determine the ability to thrive defined as achieving all of the following at 18 months of age: o Does not receive nutrition through mechanical support or other non-oral method o Ability to tolerate thin liquids as demonstrated through a formal swallowing test o Maintains weight (> third percentile for age and gender) • Determine the ability to remain independent of ventilatory support, defined as requiring no daily ventilator support/usage at 18 months of age |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
• Patients with SMA Type 1 as determined by the diagnosis of SMA based on gene mutation analysis with bi-allelic SMN1 mutations and 1 or 2 copies of SMN2 (inclusive of the known SMN2 gene modifier mutation (c.859G>C). • Patients must be < 6 months (< 180 days) of age at the time of infusion • Patients must have a swallowing evaluation test performed prior to administration of gene replacement therapy
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
• Pulse oximetry < 96% saturation at screening while the patient is awake or asleep without any supplemental oxygen or respiratory support. • Tracheostomy or current use or requirement of non-invasive ventilatory support averaging ≥ 6 hours daily over the 7 days prior to the screening visit; or ≥ 6 hours/day on average during the screening period or requiring ventilatory support while awake over the 7 days prior to screening or at any point during the screening period prior to dosing. • Patients with signs of aspiration/inability to tolerate non-thickened- liquids based on a formal swallowing test performed as part of screening. Patients with a gastrostomy tube who pass the swallowing test will be allowed to enroll in the study • Participation in recent SMA treatment clinical study (with the exception of observational Cohort studies or non-interventional studies) or receipt of an investigational or commercial compound, product, or therapy administered with the intent to treat SMA (e.g., nusinersen, valproic acid) at any time prior to screening for this study. Oral β-agonists must be discontinued at least 30 days before gene therapy dosing. Inhaled albuterol specifically prescribed for the purposes of respiratory (bronchodilator) management is acceptable. • Gestational age at birth < 35 weeks.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
• The proportion of patients that achieve functional independent sitting for at least 30 seconds at the 18 months of age study visit. It is defined by the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development (Version 3), confirmed by video recording, as a patient who sits up straight with the head erect for at least 30 seconds. • The survival at 14 months of age. Survival is defined by the avoidance of the combined endpoint of either (a) death or (b) permanent ventilation, which is defined by tracheostomy or by the requirement of ≥ 16 hours of respiratory assistance per day for ≥ 14 consecutive days in the absence of an acute reversible illness, excluding perioperative ventilation. Permanent ventilation, so defined, is considered a surrogate for death.

E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
18 months for achieving functional sitting for at least 30 seconds 14 months of age for survival |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
• The proportion of patients maintaining the ability to thrive, defined as the ability to tolerate thin liquids (as demonstrated through a formal swallowing test) and to maintain weight (based on WHO Child Growth Standards for age and gender) without need of gastrostomy or other mechanical or non-oral nutritional support at 18 months of age. • The proportion of patients who are independent of ventilatory support, defined as requiring no daily ventilator support/usage at 18 months of age, excluding acute reversible illness and perioperative ventilation, as defined above through assessment of actual usage data captured from the device (Phillips Trilogy).
