Gene replacement therapy with onasemnogene abeparvovec in children with spinal muscular atrophy aged 24 months or younger and bodyweight up to 15 kg: an observational cohort study

Claudia Weiss et al.

Summary: This study provides real-world data on motor function and safety after gene replacement therapy in different patient subgroups. The results indicate that children with spinal muscular atrophy aged 24 months or younger and patients pretreated with nusinersen significantly benefit from gene replacement therapy, but adverse events can be severe and need to be closely monitored.

SMN protein is required throughout life to prevent spinal muscular atrophy disease progression

Xin Zhao et al.

Summary: Spinal muscular atrophy is caused by the loss of SMN1 gene function, with partial compensation from the SMN2 gene but insufficient SMN protein levels due to alternative splicing. New drugs like risdiplam can increase SMN protein levels and provide treatment for SMA patients. Early treatment initiation is crucial, as SMN protein is essential throughout the lifespan in mice.

Onasemnogene abeparvovec gene therapy for symptomatic infantile-onset spinal muscular atrophy type 1 (STR1VE-EU): an open-label, single-arm, multicentre, phase 3 trial

Eugenio Mercuri et al.

Summary: The STR1VE-EU study evaluated the safety and efficacy of onasemnogene abeparvovec gene replacement therapy in infants with spinal muscular atrophy type 1, showing effectiveness in symptomatic patients and a favorable benefit-risk profile for this patient population. Further long-term safety studies are needed.

Biodistribution of onasemnogene abeparvovec DNA, mRNA and SMN protein in human tissue

Gretchen Thomsen et al.

Summary: Biodistribution analysis of two patients with spinal muscular atrophy shows widespread onasemnogene abeparvovec DNA, mRNA and SMN protein throughout the central nervous system and peripheral organs following intravenous gene therapy administration. Both patients experienced varying outcomes after receiving the treatment, including improved motor function in one patient and death in the other shortly after administration. The study demonstrates effective distribution, transduction, and expression of onasemnogene abeparvovec throughout the CNS, supporting its potential for restoring SMN expression in individuals with SMA1.

Spinal muscular atrophy: Broad disease spectrum and sex-specific phenotypes

Natalia N. Singh et al.

Summary: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a major genetic disorder associated with infant mortality, primarily caused by deletions or mutations in the Survival Motor Neuron 1 (SMN1) gene. The spectrum of SMA ranges from prenatal death to survival into adulthood, with all tissues potentially affected.

A Multifaceted Approach to Optimizing AAV Delivery to the Brain for the Treatment of Neurodegenerative Diseases

Jonathan M. Fischell et al.

Summary: Despite significant progress in gene therapy technologies, there are currently no approved gene therapies specifically for brain diseases, mainly due to the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Various approaches, including direct intracerebral injection of vectors, have limitations. Innovative methods are needed to enhance the efficiency of gene delivery to the brain.

Onasemnogene abeparvovec gene therapy for symptomatic infantile-onset spinal muscular atrophy in patients with two copies of SMN2 (STR1VE): an open-label, single-arm, multicentre, phase 3 trial

John W. Day et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the safety and efficacy of onasemnogene abeparvovec gene therapy in symptomatic patients with infantile-onset spinal muscular atrophy. Results showed that patients achieved independent sitting and survival rates without permanent ventilation at certain time points, with a favorable benefit-risk profile supporting the use of onasemnogene abeparvovec for treatment of this condition.

Gain of toxic function by long-term AAV9-mediated SMN overexpression in the sensorimotor circuit

Meaghan Van Alstyne et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that long-term use of AAV9-SMN gene therapy in mice can lead to motor dysfunction and neuronal loss through protein aggregation. Overexpression of SMN interferes with RNA regulation and triggers SMA-like pathogenic events through toxic gain-of-function mechanisms. These findings suggest caution in the long-term safety of treating individuals with SMA with AAV9-SMN.
