Authorised Therapeutic exploratory (Phase II) Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)

A Study of Risdiplam in Infants with Genetically Diagnosed and Presymptomatic Spinal Muscular Atrophy

EU CTIS ID: 2023-506009-20-00

What this study is testing

1. To evaluate the efficacy of risdiplam in patients with two copies of the survival motor neuron (SMN)2 gene (excluding the known SMN2 gene modifier mutation c.859G> C) and baseline compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitude ≥ 1.5mV, as determined by the proportion of patients who are sitting without support after 12 months of treatment

  • 3. Presence of significant concurrent syndromes or diseases
  • 4. In the opinion of the investigator, inadequate venous or capillary blood access for the study procedures
  • 5. Requiring invasive ventilation, tracheostomy or awake non-invasive ventilation
