Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are SMA patients who have already received onasemnogene abeparvovec as part of standard care at the participating sites in Japan.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have not received onasemnogene abeparvovec or who receive it for unapproved indications may not benefit from the study data.

What this trial studies
This is a non-interventional, observational study conducted in Japan to collect real-world safety and effectiveness data for intrathecal onasemnogene abeparvovec in spinal muscular atrophy patients. No specific treatment protocol or visit schedule is imposed; patients are treated per the Japan package insert. Data are gathered via case registration forms completed by investigators at participating sites. The study includes all patients treated with onasemnogene abeparvovec, with exclusions for off-label or unapproved indications under applicable regulations. Primary insights come from routine clinical practice across three Novartis investigative sites in Japan.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Findings could clarify how intrathecal Zolgensma performs in everyday clinical settings and support safer, more informed use.
How similar studies have gone: Prior observational experience with similar gene therapies in SMA suggests real-world safety signals and effectiveness trends can be informative, though site-specific results may vary.
