This was a phase IV Open-label, single-arm, single-dose, multicenter study, to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of intravenous administration of OAV101 (AVXS-101) in patients with SMA with bi-allelic mutations in the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene ≤ 24 months and weighing ≤ 17 kg, over a 18-month period post infusion.
This is an open-label, single arm, multi-center study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of IV OAV101 in symptomatic SMA pediatric participants. The study enrolled participants ≤ 24 months old that weigh ≤ 17 kg. Participants who met eligibility criteria at Screening and Baseline visits received a single dose of IV OAV101 t the approved dose of 1.1e14 vg/kg and were followed for 18 months. The study included a 20-day screening period in which there were 2 Screening visits, during which, eligibility was assessed (Screening 1), weight was collected for dose calculation (Screening 2), and baseline assessments were performed prior to treatment. On Day -1, participants were admitted to the hospital for pre-treatment baseline procedures including prednisolone treatment per study protocol. On Day 1, participants received a single IV infusion of OAV101. Participants were discharged 12-48 hours after the infusion, based on Investigator judgment. Safety monitoring was performed on an ongoing basis per protocol requirement and was evaluated by the clinical safety team as well as DMC (Data monitoring committee).

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent AEs and SAEs
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence (eg any unfavorable and unintended sign \[including abnormal laboratory findings\], symptom or disease) in a clinical investigation participant after providing written informed consent for participation in the study. Therefore, an AE may or may not be temporally or causally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product. Changes from baseline in vital signs, cardiac safety assessments, and clinical laboratory results are reported as Adverse Events if clinically significant and as applicable, per investigator assessment.
Time frame: Up to Month 18
Evaluation of Important Identified and Important Potential Risks - Treatment-emergent Adverse Events of Special Interest
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence (eg any unfavorable and unintended sign \[including abnormal laboratory findings\], symptom or disease) in a clinical investigation participant after providing written informed consent for participation in the study. Therefore, an AE may or may not be temporally or causally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product. Adverse events of special interest (AESI) are defined by the important identified risk and important potential risk: Hepatotoxicity, Thrombocytopenia, Cardiac adverse events, Sensory abnormalities suggestive of ganglionopathy, and Thrombotic microangiopathy. These were assessed by the investigator.
Time frame: Up to Month 18
Number of Participants Who Achieve Development Motor Milestones According to the World Health Organization-Multicentre Growth Reference Study (WHO-MGRS)
The World Health Organization-Multicentre Growth Reference Study (WHO-MGRS) was used to measure developmental motor milestones. This was assessed via the milestone checklist. The 6 developmental milestones are: sitting without support, hands-and-knees crawling, standing with assistance, walking with assistance, standing alone and walking alone. A yes response indicates that the patient reached a particular development milestone.
Time frame: Baseline (Screening), and at Weeks 26, 52 and 78
