Study 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.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • <2 years of age at the time of informed consent

  • Confirmed diagnosis of 5q-autosomal recessive SMA, including genetic confirmation ofhomozygous deletion or compound heterozygosity predictive of loss of function of theSurvival of Motor Neuron 1 (SMN1) gene

  • Confirmed presence of two SMN2 gene copies as documented through laboratory testing

  • Administration of onasemnogene abeparvovec pre-symptomatically orpost-symptomatically

  • Has received onasemnogene abeparvovec for SMA no less than 13 weeks, but not morethan months 30 weeks, prior to enrollment

  • If treated with risdiplam prior to onasemnogene abeparvovec, risdiplam treatmentmust not have exceeded 3 weeks and must be discontinued 1 day prior to onasemnogeneabeparvovec administration

  • Has, in the opinion of the investigator, not experienced clinically significantdecline in function from the time of onasemnogene abeparvovec administration

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previous or current enrolment in investigational study prior to initiation of studytreatment

  • Any unresolved standard-of-care laboratory abnormalities per the onasemnogeneabeparvovec prescribing information

  • Concomitant or previous administration of an SMN2-targeting antisenseoligonucleotide

  • 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 plannedhospitalization at the time of screening

  • Any major illness requiring hospitalization within 1 month before the screeningexamination or any febrile illness within 1 week prior to screening and up to firstdose administration.
