NCT ID NCT03381729

Summary

This study tested a one-time gene therapy injection for children aged 6 months to 5 years with a specific type of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). The main goal was to find a safe dose and see if the treatment could help children gain motor skills, like standing or walking. The trial was an early safety study that enrolled 32 children who could sit up but could not stand or walk on their own.
