A Study of Multiple Doses of Nusinersen (ISIS 396443) Delivered to Infants With Genetically Diagnosed and Presymptomatic Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Spinal Muscular Atrophy
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02386553
Lead Sponsor
Biogen
Brief Summary

The primary objective of the study is to examine the efficacy of multiple doses of Nusinersen administered intrathecally in preventing or delaying the need for respiratory intervention or death in infants with genetically diagnosed and presymptomatic spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Secondary objectives of this study are to examine the effects of Nusinersen in infants with genetically diagnosed and presymptomatic SMA.

Key

Exclusion Criteria

  • Any clinical signs or symptoms at Screening or immediately prior to the first dosing (Day 1) that are, in the opinion of the Investigator, strongly suggestive of SMA.
  • Clinically significant abnormalities in hematology or clinical chemistry parameters.
  • Treatment with an investigational drug given for the treatment of SMA biological agent, or device. Any history of gene therapy, prior antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) treatment, or cell transplantation.
  • Meet additional study related criteria.

Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
