NCT ID NCT03306277

COMPLETED ⭐️ CURE ⭐️ Sponsor: Novartis Gene Therapies Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This study tested a single-dose gene therapy for babies under 6 months old with spinal muscular atrophy type 1, a severe genetic muscle-wasting disease. The goal was to see if the one-time intravenous treatment could help babies achieve major milestones like sitting independently and improve survival without permanent breathing support. The trial enrolled 22 infants to measure these key outcomes.
