E.2 Objective of the trial
E.2.1Main objective of the trial
To compare the efficacy of OAV101 IT vs. sham control as measured by the change from baseline in Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale-Expanded (HFMSE) total score.
E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
- To compare the efficacy of OAV101 IT vs. sham control in two patient age groups: ≥ 2 to < 5 years (HFMSE, Revised Upper Limb Module (RULM)); ≥ 2 to < 18 years (RULM)
- To evaluate the safety and tolerability of OAV101 IT vs. sham control in patients ≥ 2 to < 18 years)
E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
E.3Principal inclusion criteria
- Diagnostic confirmation during screening period 5q SMA
- The patient must be treatment naive (historical or current use) for all SMN-targeting therapies (e.g., risdiplam (Evrysdi) and nusinersen (Spinraza)).
- ≥2 years and <18 years of age at screening visit 1
- Onset of clinical signs and symptoms at ≥ 6 months of age
- Patient must have a complete HFMSE assessment with available total score as administered by qualified clinical evaluator during the screening period for trial eligibility
- Able to sit independently at screening, but has never had the ability to walk independently.
- Estimated life expectancy > 2 years from screening in the opinion of the Investigator
- Meets age-appropriate institutional criteria for use of anesthesia/sedation as assessed by the physician responsible for
administering anesthesia/sedation

(Full list of inclusion criteria can be found in the clinical protocol Section 5.1)
E.4Principal exclusion criteria
- Excluding SMA, any medical condition considered clinically significant
by the Investigator, including cardiomyopathy, hepatic dysfunction,
kidney disorder, endocrine disorder including diabetes
mellitus, gastrointestinal disorders, metabolic disorders, untreated B6
deficiency, severe respiratory compromise and significant brain
abnormalities at either Screening or Baseline that, in the opinion of the
investigator, would interfere with the overall interpretation of safety or
efficacy of the study.
- Anti-AAV9 antibody titer reported as elevated (reference to >1:50 or
validated results consistent with being elevated) at Screening as
determined by ligand binding immunoassay.
- Clinically significant abnormalities in test results during screening
period and/or during baseline period as determined by the Investigator
- Participants will be excluded from the trial for inpatient surgery
hospitalization, hospitalization for a pulmonary event, or hospitalization
for nutritional support within 2 months prior to Screening and up to Day
1. In addition, patients will not be eligible for the trial if at Screening,
inpatient major surgery is planned at any time during the 64-week
study. Any other surgeries must not interfere with the ability of the
patient to perform the study assessments.
- Prior injury (e.g., upper or lower limb fracture) or surgical procedure
which impacts the participant's ability to perform any of the outcome
measure testing required in the protocol and from which the participant
has not fully recovered or achieved a stable baseline upon entry into
screening period
- Contraindications for lumbar puncture procedure, (including but not
limited to cutaneous infection at the treatment site and signs or
symptoms of increased intracranial pressure), active administration of
any intrathecal therapy, presence of an implanted shunt for the drainage
of CSF, presence of an implanted central nervous system (CNS) catheter,
or any impediment to CSF access.
(Full list of exclusion criteria can be found in the clinical protocol Section
5.2)

- Achievement of at least a 3-point improvement from baseline in HFMSE total score at the end of Follow-up Period 1 in the overall study
population
- Achievement of at least a 3-point improvement from baseline in HFMSE total score at the end of Follow-up Period 1 in the ≥ 2 to < 5 years age
group
- Change from baseline in RULM at the end of Follow-up Period 1 in the ≥2 to < 18 years age group
- Change from baseline in the RULM at the end of Follow-up Period 1 in the ≥ 2 to < 5 years age group
- Incidence of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious TEAEs (SAEs)
