About this trial

This is an interventional prevention trial for Spinal Muscular Atrophy focused on measuring NURTURE

Eligibility Criteria

undefined - 6 Weeks (Child)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age ≤ 6 weeks at first dose.
  • Genetic documentation of 5q SMA homozygous gene deletion or mutation or compound heterozygous mutation.
  • Genetic documentation of 2 or 3 copies of survival motor neuron 2 (SMN2).
  • Ulnar compound muscle action potential (CMAP) ≥ 1 mV at Baseline.
  • Gestational age of 37 to 42 weeks for singleton births; gestational age of 34 to 42 weeks for twins.
  • Meet additional study related criteria.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Hypoxemia (oxygen saturation <96% awake or asleep without any supplemental oxygen or respiratory support).
  • 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.

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Nusinersen

Arm Description

Nusinersen administered as an intrathecal injection

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Time to death or respiratory intervention
The time will be the age of the participant at the first occurrence of either a respiratory intervention or death. Respiratory intervention is defined as invasive or noninvasive ventilation for ≥6 hours/day continuously for 7 or more days OR tracheostomy.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Percentage of participants developing clinically manifested spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)
Percentage of participants alive
Percentage of participants who attained motor milestones assessed as part of the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE)
Percentage of participants who attained motor milestones as assessed by World Health Organization (WHO) criteria
Change from Baseline in the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Infant Test of Neuromuscular Disorders (CHOP INTEND) motor function scale
Change from Baseline in Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale - Expanded (HFMSE)
Change from Baseline in weight for age/length
Change from Baseline in head circumference
Change from Baseline in chest circumference ratio
Change from Baseline in head to chest circumference ratio
Change from Baseline in arm circumference ratio
Incidence of adverse events (AEs) and/or serious adverse events (SAEs)
Change from Baseline in clinical laboratory parameters
Assessed by the following laboratory tests: Hematology: red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelets, white blood cells, white blood cell differential, Blood chemistry: total protein, albumin, creatinine, cystatin C, creatine phosphokinase, blood urea nitrogen, total bilirubin (direct and indirect), alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, glucose, calcium, phosphorous, chloride, sodium, potassium. Urinalysis: specific gravity, pH, protein, glucose, ketones, bilirubin, red blood cells, white blood cells, epithelial cells, bacteria, casts, crystals
Change from Baseline in electrocardiograms (ECGs)
Change from Baseline in vital signs
Vital sign will be assessed by: temperature, pulse rate, resting systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and respiratory rate.
Change from Baseline in neurological examinations
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma Nusinersen concentrations
