Details and patient eligibility

About

To evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of intravenous administration of OAV101 (AVXS-101) in patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) with bi-allelic mutations in the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene weighing ≥ 8.5 kg and ≤ 21 kg, over a 12 month period.

Full description

This was an open-label, single arm, multi-center study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of OAV101 in participants with SMA who weigh ≥ 8.5 kg and ≤ 21 kg. The study aimed to enroll approximately 24 to 30 participants, with approximately 6 to 10 participants across each of 3 weight brackets (8.5 to 13 kg, >13 to 17 kg, >17 to 21 kg).

Eligible participants received a single administration of OAV101 at the approved dose of 1.1e14 vg/kg on Day 1 (Treatment period), and were followed for a period of 12 months.

Participants were admitted to the hospital on Day -1 for pre-treatment baseline procedures. After receiving OAV101 on Day 1, participants underwent in-patient safety monitoring over the next 48 hours, after which the participant could be discharged, based on Investigator judgment.

After study completion, eligible participants could enroll into a Long Term follow-up study to collect additional safety and efficacy data. (COAV101A12308 (NCT05335876) https://classic.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05335876?term=COAV101A12308&draw=2&rank=1))
