SMA1 is a rapidly progressing, debilitating neurodegenerative disease resulting from bi-allelic survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene deletion/mutation and subsequent motor neuron loss, muscle weakness, respiratory failure, and early death.

To describe the impact of onasemnogene abeparvovec (AVXS-101) on survival and motor milestone achievement in spinal muscular atrophy type 1 (SMA1) patients (CL-101 study) contrasted with response to nusinersen (ENDEAR study) and untreated patients in natural history studies.

SMA1 patients (two SMN2 copies) were treated with AVXS-101 (CL-101; NCT02122952; cohort 2; N=12) or nusinersen (ENDEAR; NCT02193074; N=80). Event-free survival (EFS, composite endpoint of time to death or permanent ventilation), motor milestone achievement, and nutritional/ventilatory support (CL-101, ≥20 months; ENDEAR, ≥14 months of age) were contrasted with those from two comparable natural history studies (up to 14 months of age): Pediatric Neuromuscular Clinical Research network (PNCR; N=23) and NN101 (NCT01736553; N=16).

The proportion of patients achieving EFS at ≥14 months was 30% in PNCR, 50% in NN101, 66% in nusinersen-treated patients, and 100% in AVXS-101-treated patients. No patient in either natural history study achieved motor milestones. In nusinersen-treated patients, 8% sat independently and 1% stood; 92% of AVXS-101-treated patients sat unassisted, 17% stood with assistance, and 17% walked independently. Achievement of additional milestones in long-term follow-up demonstrated the durability of AVXS-101. Seventy percent of PNCR study patients received nutritional support. In contrast, 86% of AVXS-101-treated patients who were independent of nutritional support at baseline continued to eat exclusively by mouth, and 92% of all AVXS-101-treated patients achieved the ability to speak or had stable/improved swallowing function.

A single intravenous infusion of AVXS-101 in the CL-101 study resulted in unprecedented clinical outcomes, including improved survival, motor milestone achievement, and reduced ventilatory/nutritional support, relative to nusinersen in the ENDEAR study and in contrast to natural history cohorts.
