Overview
Brief Summary
This was a phase IV Open-label, single-arm, single-dose, multicenter study, to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of intravenous administration of OAV101 (AVXS-101) in patients with SMA with bi-allelic mutations in the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene ≤ 24 months and weighing ≤ 17 kg, over a 18-month period post infusion.
Detailed Description
This is an open-label, single arm, multi-center study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of IV OAV101 in symptomatic SMA pediatric participants. The study enrolled participants ≤ 24 months old that weigh ≤ 17 kg. Participants who met eligibility criteria at Screening and Baseline visits received a single dose of IV OAV101 t the approved dose of 1.1e14 vg/kg and were followed for 18 months. The study included a 20-day screening period in which there were 2 Screening visits, during which, eligibility was assessed (Screening 1), weight was collected for dose calculation (Screening 2), and baseline assessments were performed prior to treatment. On Day -1, participants were admitted to the hospital for pre-treatment baseline procedures including prednisolone treatment per study protocol. On Day 1, participants received a single IV infusion of OAV101. Participants were discharged 12-48 hours after the infusion, based on Investigator judgment. Safety monitoring was performed on an ongoing basis per protocol requirement and was evaluated by the clinical safety team as well as DMC (Data monitoring committee).

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Written informed consent/assent obtained prior to any assessment performed
- •Symptomatic SMA diagnosis based on gene mutation analysis with bi-allelic SMN1 mutations (deletion or point mutations) and any copy of SMN2 gene.
- •Age ≤ 24 months of age at time of treatment
- •Weight ≤17 kg at the time of Screening Period
- •Naïve to treatment or have discontinued an approved drug/therapy
- •Up-to date on recommended childhood vaccinations and RSV prophylaxis with palivizumab (also known as Synagis), per local standard of care
Exclusion Criteria
- •Previous use of OAV101 or any AAV9 gene therapy
- •Participant with history of aspiration pneumonia or signs of aspiration (eg, coughing or sputtering of food) within 4 weeks prior to Screening
- •Participant dependent on gastrostomy feeding tube for 100% of nutritional intake.

- •Inability to take corticosteroids
- •Concomitant use of immunosuppressive therapy, plasmapheresis, immunomodulators such as adalimumab, or immunosuppressive therapy within 3 months prior to gene replacement therapy (eg, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, methotrexate, rituximab cyclophosphamide, IV immunoglobulin)
- •Hepatic dysfunction (i.e. AST, ALT, bilirubin, GGT or GLDH, ≥ ULN; CTCAE ≥ 1) at Screening (with the exception of isolated AST elevation: in the absence of other liver laboratory abnormalities, isolated AST elevation is not considered exclusionary)
- •Previously treated with nusinersen (Spinraza®) within 4 months prior to Screening
- •Previously treated with risdiplam (EvrysdiTM) within 15 days prior to Screening (washout period of at least 5 half-lives before Screening)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent AEs and SAEs
Time Frame: Up to Month 18
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence (eg any unfavorable and unintended sign \[including abnormal laboratory findings\], symptom or disease) in a clinical investigation participant after providing written informed consent for participation in the study. Therefore, an AE may or may not be temporally or causally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product. Changes from baseline in vital signs, cardiac safety assessments, and clinical laboratory results are reported as Adverse Events if clinically significant and as applicable, per investigator assessment.
Evaluation of Important Identified and Important Potential Risks - Treatment-emergent Adverse Events of Special Interest
Time Frame: Up to Month 18
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence (eg any unfavorable and unintended sign \[including abnormal laboratory findings\], symptom or disease) in a clinical investigation participant after providing written informed consent for participation in the study. Therefore, an AE may or may not be temporally or causally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product. Adverse events of special interest (AESI) are defined by the important identified risk and important potential risk: Hepatotoxicity, Thrombocytopenia, Cardiac adverse events, Sensory abnormalities suggestive of ganglionopathy, and Thrombotic microangiopathy. These were assessed by the investigator.
