NCT ID NCT05335876
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- 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.
