Phase 4
Recruiting
Conditions
Muscular Atrophy, Spinal
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT05861986
Lead Sponsor
Hoffmann-La Roche
Brief Summary

This is an open-label, single-arm, multicenter clinical study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of risdiplam administered as an early intervention in pediatric participants with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and 2 SMN2 copies who have previously received onasemnogene abeparvovec. Participants are children \< 2 years of age genetically diagnosed with SMA.

  • Administration of onasemnogene abeparvovec pre-symptomatically or post-symptomatically
  • Has received onasemnogene abeparvovec for SMA no less than 13 weeks, but not more than months 30 weeks, prior to enrollment
  • If treated with risdiplam prior to onasemnogene abeparvovec, risdiplam treatment must not have exceeded 3 weeks and must be discontinued 1 day prior to onasemnogene abeparvovec administration
  • Has, in the opinion of the investigator, not experienced clinically significant decline in function from the time of onasemnogene abeparvovec administration
Exclusion Criteria
  • Previous or current enrolment in investigational study prior to initiation of study treatment
  • Any unresolved standard-of-care laboratory abnormalities per the onasemnogene abeparvovec prescribing information
  • Concomitant or previous administration of an SMN2-targeting antisense oligonucleotide
  • Concomitant or previous use of an anti-myostatin agent
  • Participants requiring invasive ventilation or tracheostomy
  • Participants requiring awake non-invasive ventilation or with awake hypoxemia (Arterial Oxygen Saturation [SaO2] <95%) with or without ventilator support
  • Presence of feeding tube and an OrSAT score of 0
  • Hospitalization for pulmonary event within the last 2 months, or any planned hospitalization at the time of screening
  • Any major illness requiring hospitalization within 1 month before the screening examination or any febrile illness within 1 week prior to screening and up to first dose administration.

GroupInterventionDescription
RisdiplamRisdiplamParticipants will receive risdiplam orally once daily for 72 weeks (Treatment Period). The Treatment Period will be followed by a 1-year Treatment Extension Period for a total study duration of 120 weeks (approximately 2.5 years) for each participant enrolled.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from Baseline in the Raw Score of Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development - Third Edition (BSID-III) Gross Motor Score at 72 Weeks of Risdiplam TreatmentBaseline, Week 72

The BSID-III is a standardized assessment commonly used to evaluate developmental functioning of infants and young children between 1 month and 42 months of age. The gross motor scale measures the movement of the limbs and torso. Items assess static positioning (e.g., sitting, standing); dynamic movement, including locomotion and coordination; balance; and motor planning. The gross motor scale consists of 72 items scored at 0 (unable to perform) or 1 (criteria for item achieved). A higher raw score indicates improvement.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With Serious Adverse EventsUp to 120 weeks
Percentage of Participants With Adverse EventsUp to 120 weeks
Percentage of Participants With Treatment Discontinuation Due to Adverse EventsUp to 120 weeks
