What this trial studies
This observational study aims to gather long-term safety data on Brazilian pediatric patients diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) who have been treated with Onasemnogene Abeparvovec (Zolgensma®). It is a non-interventional Post Authorization Safety Study (PASS) that will monitor these patients for up to 15 years post-treatment. The study is designed to support the benefit-risk assessment of Zolgensma and may help identify new safety signals, providing valuable information for patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers. The data collected will also assist in managing safety risks associated with the treatment as mandated by the Brazilian Health Authority, ANVISA.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include Brazilian pediatric patients with a confirmed diagnosis of SMA who have been treated with Zolgensma.
Not a fit: Patients currently enrolled in any interventional clinical trial other than the phase IV OFELIA trial may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the understanding of the long-term safety profile of Zolgensma, leading to improved patient management and outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: While this study focuses on long-term safety data, similar observational studies have shown success in monitoring treatment effects and safety in other conditions.
