ZOLGENSMA® (onasemnogene abeparvovec-xioi) has been clinically proven to stop the progression of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and stop motor neuron loss with just one dose.

ZOLGENSMA was studied in children who were not showing symptoms (presymptomatic) of SMA in a trial called SPR1NT. The trial studied the safety and efficacy of ZOLGENSMA in children with 2 and 3 copies of the SMN2 backup gene. The main goal of this study was to see the number of children who could sit for 30 seconds or more (for children with 2 copies) and stand without support for 3 seconds or more (for children with 3 copies). The SPR1NT study also looked at how well children could perform specific motor skills, maintain weight without feeding support, and breathe on their own (respiratory status).

As of 2020, experts recommend all babies diagnosed with SMA at birth and who have 2 to 4 copies of SMN2 should be treated for SMA as early as possible in order to stop disease progression—whether or not they are showing symptoms.
