One-Time gene therapy aims to stop devastating muscle disease in its tracks

NCT ID NCT03505099

Summary

This study tested a single, one-time gene therapy (AVXS-101/onasemnogene abeparvovec) given to infants genetically diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) before they showed any symptoms. The goal was to see if this treatment could help these babies achieve major motor milestones like sitting or standing, and improve survival without needing permanent breathing support. The study followed 30 infants for up to 2 years to check the treatment's safety and effectiveness.
