According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, this trial (NCT05386680) enrolled 27 participants who received a single dose of the gene therapy OAV101 (at a dose level of 1.2×10¹⁴ viral genome particles). Of the 27 who started, 25 completed the study and 2 did not. The trial was primarily focused on tracking unintended medical events (called adverse events) that occurred after treatment, and secondarily on measuring changes in participants' physical abilities over 52 weeks using two standard movement assessment tools used in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). The reported data shows that, out of 27 participants, 27 experienced at least one treatment-emergent adverse event (an unintended medical occurrence that happened after receiving the treatment). Thirteen participants experienced adverse events considered related to the treatment. The trial also tracked specific categories of concern — including liver-related events, low platelet counts, heart-related events, and nerve-related signs — with small numbers of participants (ranging from 1 to 8 across different categories) recorded under these special-interest groups. The standard deviations and full breakdown labels for many of these sub-counts were not fully reported in the submitted data. The reported data shows that, on the movement assessment scales measured at 52 weeks, participants' scores on the Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale Expanded (HFMSE — a 0–66 motor ability score) changed by an average of 0.17 points from where they started (with a separate statistical estimate of 1.05 points). On the Revised Upper Limb Module (RULM — a 0–37 upper limb ability score), the average change from baseline was 0.29 points. No standard deviation or margin-of-error figures were included in the submitted results for these measures. These numbers describe what was recorded in this group; they do not tell us what the results mean for any individual. These are the results as reported to ClinicalTrials.gov.
