NCT ID NCT05335876

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study follows 175 people with spinal muscular atrophy who previously received the gene therapy Zolgensma in clinical trials. Researchers will monitor them for 5 years to track serious side effects and developmental milestones. The goal is to understand how safe and effective the treatment remains over time.

Active substance
onasemnogene abeparvovec (Zolgensma)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could confirm that a one-time dose of Zolgensma provides lasting benefits and is safe over many years for people with spinal muscular atrophy.
What could go wrong
This is a follow-up study, not a new treatment test. It may reveal unknown long-term side effects, and results depend on how well patients did in earlier trials.
