The primary purpose is to address critical evidence in the treatment landscape for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), specifically focusing on the intrathecal formulation of onasemnogene abeparvovec-brve (ITVISMA®). U.S. Pragmatic Multicenter Study (STREAM).
STREAM is a prospective, multicentre cohort study that will follow U.S. participants with genetically confirmed SMA who receive a single, intrathecal dose of onasemnogene abeparvovec-brve. All eligible participants are enrolled prior to therapeutic injection. No randomisation, blinding, or placebo control is employed; instead, each participant acts as his or her own baseline comparator. This study will use an exploratory external cohort of patients matched by age, clinical characteristics, treatment history and availability of at least 1 year of pre-treatment medical history. This patient cohort will be based on a database of retrospectively collected electronic medical records data and will be used descriptively to contextualize study outcomes. Bias is minimised through pre-specified endpoints, uniform rater training on motor-function scales, and a detailed statistical analysis plan that stipulates handling of missing data and intercurrent events in advance.

RECRUITINGChange from baseline in HFMSE for independently ambulatory participants
The HFMSE is a validated SMA specific assessment devised for use in children with SMA to give objective information on motor ability and clinical progression. The HFMSE contains 33 items rated from 0 (unable to perform) to 2 (performs without modification/adaptation/compensation). Total scores range from 0-66. Higher scores indicate higher levels of motor ability.
Time frame: Baseline, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months
Change from baseline in RULM for non-ambulatory (including walkers with assistance) participants
The RULM is a validated SMA specific assessment of motor performance in the upper limbs from childhood through adulthood in independent ambulatory and non-ambulatory (including walkers with assistance) individuals with SMA. The scale consists of 19 scorable items: 18 items scored on 0 (unable) to 2 (full achievement) scale, and one item that is scored from 0 (unable) to 1 (able). Total scores range from 0-37 points. Higher scores reflect higher level of motor ability.
Time frame: Baseline, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months
Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Incidence of AEs and SAEs, including changes in laboratory tests and procedure-related events qualifying and reported as AEs.
Time frame: up to 5 years
Modified SMA Functional Rating Scale (SMA-FRS) for independently ambulatory participants (≥ 18 years of age) and non-ambulatory particpants
Modified Spinal Muscular Atrophy Functional Rating Scale (SMAFRS): Ten items address questions related to eating, upper extremity dressing, lower extremity dressing, grooming, bathing, toileting, turning in bed and adjusting bed clothes, transfers, walking, and climbing stairs. This outcome measure includes effectiveness assessment across predefined participant groups based on relevant clinical and demographic factors, as specified in the protocol.
Time frame: Baseline, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months and Years 3, 4, and 5
Assessment of Caregiver Experience with Neuromuscular Disease (ACEND) for independently ambulatory participants (<18 years of age)
The Assessment of Caregiver Experience with Neuromuscular Disease (ACEND): quantifies caregivers' perceptions of function and quality of life pertaining to time, finance and emotion. The ACEND was developed and validated to specifically assess caregiver impact experienced by raising children severely affected by neuromuscular diseases. While specifically developed for application to caregivers of patients undergoing orthopedic surgery, it has application to those with SMA. This outcome measure includes effectiveness assessment across predefined participant groups based on relevant clinical and demographic factors, as specified in the protocol.
Time frame: Baseline, Months 6, 12, 18, 24, and Years 3, 4, and 5
Subgroup outcomes: Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale Expanded (HFMSE)
Effectiveness assessment across predefined participant groups based on relevant clinical and demographic factors, as specified in the protocol. The HFMSE is a validated SMA specific assessment to give objective information on motor ability and clinical progression. Total scores range from 0-66. Higher scores indicate higher levels of motor ability.
Time frame: Baseline, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months
Subgroup outcomes: Revised Upper Limb Module (RULM)
Effectiveness assessment across predefined participant groups based on relevant clinical and demographic factors, as specified in the protocol. The RULM is a validated SMA specific assessment of motor performance in the upper limbs from childhood through adulthood in independent ambulatory and non-independent ambulatory individuals with SMA. Total scores range from 0-37 points. Higher scores reflect higher level of motor ability.
Time frame: Baseline, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months
Frequency of hospitalizations emergency department visits, outpatient visits, respiratory interventions and nutritional support interventions
Assessment of SMA-related healthcare-resource utilisation.
Time frame: Baseline, Months 6, 12, 18, 24, and Years 3, 4, and 5
Duration of hospitalizations emergency department visits, outpatient visits, respiratory interventions and nutritional support interventions
Assessment of SMA-related healthcare-resource utilisation.
Time frame: Baseline, Months 6, 12, 18, 24, and Years 3, 4, and 5
Cobb angle
Assessment of scoliosis progression as a disease-progression marker.
Time frame: Baseline, up to 24 months
Daily hours of respiratory support (none, non-invasive ventilation, invasive ventilation)
Assessment of respiratory function as a disease-progression marker.
Time frame: Baseline, up to 24 months
Joint-range limitation measured by goniometer
Assessment of evolution of joint contractures as a disease-progression marker.
Time frame: Baseline, up to 24 months
Nutritional-support category (oral, gastrostomy feeds, total parenteral nutrition)
Assessment of nutrition status as a disease-progression marker.
Time frame: Baseline, up to 24 months
6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) for ambulatory patients
To assess disease-progression markers. 6MWT: distance in metres; greater distance indicates better ambulatory capacity.
Time frame: Baseline, Months 6, 12, 18, and 24
