|
E.1.1.1 | Medical condition in easily understood language |
Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1 |
|
E.1.1.2 | Therapeutic area | Diseases [C] - Nervous System Diseases [C10] |
MedDRA Classification |
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 |
Determination of safety based on the development of unacceptable toxicity: defined as the occurrence of any one Grade III or higher, unanticipated, treatment-related toxicity. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The time from birth until death or until patient requires at least 16-hour per day of ventilation support for breathing for ≥14 consecutive days in the absence of an acute reversible illness, excluding perioperative use. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
• Six months of age and younger at day of vector infusion with Type 1 SMA as defined by the following features: • Diagnosis of SMA based on gene mutation analysis with bi-allelic SMN1 mutations (deletion or point mutations) and 2 copies of SMN2. • Onset of disease at birth: up to 6 months of age. • Hypotonia by clinical evaluation with delay in motor skills, poor head control, round shoulder posture and hypermobility of joints
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
• Active viral infection (includes HIV or serology positive for hepatitis B or C) • Use of invasive ventilatory support (tracheotomy with positive pressure) or pulse oximetry <95% saturation at the screening visit. o Patients may be managed using non-invasive ventilator support (BiPAP) for less than 16 hours per day at the discretion of their physician or study staff. • Concomitant illness that in the opinion of the PI creates unecessary risks for gene transfer • Concomitant use of any of the following drugs: drugs for treatment of myopathy or neuropathy, agents used to treat diabetes mellitus, or ongoing immunosuppressive therapy or immunosuppressive therapy within 3 months of starting the trial • Patients with Anti-AAV9 antibody titers >1:50 as determined by ELISA binding immunoassay. • Participation in recent SMA treatment clinical trial that in the opinion of the PI creates unnecessary risks for gene transfer. • Patient with signs of aspiration based on a swallowing test and unwilling to use an alternative method to oral feeding. • Patients with a single base substitution in SMN2 (c.859G>C in exon 7) will be excluded based on predicted mild phenotype.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Determine the Incidence of Grade III or higher, unanticipated, treatment-related toxicity. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The primary analysis for efficacy will be assessed when all patients reach 13.6 months of age. A follow-up safety analysis will be completed at the time point at which the last patient reaches 24 months post-dose. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
• Time to death or until patient requires at least 16-hour per day of ventilation support for breathing for ≥14 consecutive days in the absence of an acute reversible illness, excluding perioperative use • A successful measure for efficacy for this study will be 50% of SMA Type 1 subjects living independently of 16 or more hours of ventilator support at 2 years. • Change in CHOP-INTEND from baseline measure score of age. • To determine efficacy by demonstrating improvement of motor function and muscle strength as determined by achievement of significant development milestones including but not limited to the ability to sit alone and roll over unassisted. |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The primary analysis for efficacy will be assessed when all patients reach 13.6 months of age. A follow-up safety analysis will be completed at the time point at which the last patient reaches 24 months post-dose. |
