Phase 1/Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate safety and efficacy of gene therapy drug GC101 in SMA 1 patients. Open-label, dose-escalation clinical trial of GC101 will be conducted in multiple centers in China.
GC101 will be administrated intrathecally. Short-term safety will be evaluated in 52 weeks and enter long-term follow-up study of 5 years at will. Patients will be tested at baseline and followed up on various time points.
The primary analysis for efficacy will be assessed when all patients reach 18 months of age on the motor milestone of sit unassisted for at least 10 seconds.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability] [when patient reaches 18 months of age]
Frequency of treatment-related adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and changes from baseline in relevant clinical laboratory tests
- Proportion of patients treated with GC101 who achieve motor milestone of sit unassisted for at least 10 seconds at 18 months of age [when patient reaches 18 months of age]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Ability to thrive [when patient reaches 18 months of age]
Ability to thrive is defined as the following at 18 months of age: does not receive nutrition through mechanical support or other non-oral method; maintains weight
- Changes from baseline Children's hospital of Philadelphia Infant Test of Neuromuscular Disorders (CHOP-INTEND) score [when patient reaches 18 months of age]
CHOP INTEND score ranges from 0 to 64 with higher scores indicating higher motor function
- Proportion of event-free survival patients [when patient reaches 14 months of age]
Other Outcome Measures
- Proportion of patients who achieve the World Health Organization (WHO) Multicenter Growth Reference Study (MGRS) motor milestones [when patient reaches 18 months of age]
WHO MGRS gross motor milestones and performance criteria included sitting without support for at least 10 seconds, Hands-and-knees crawling at least three in a row, standing with assistance for at least 10 seconds, walking with assistance at least five steps, standing alone for at least 10 seconds, and walking alone.
