A Study Evaluating the Effectiveness and Safety of Risdiplam Administered in Pediatric Patients With Spinal Muscular Atrophy Who Experienced a Plateau or Decline in Function After Gene Therapy
(HINALEA 2)
What this study is about
This is an where both patients and doctors know the treatment given, single-treatment group$1, conducted at multiple hospitals clinical study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of risdiplam administered in pediatric participants with SMA and 2 SMN2 copies who previously received onasemnogene abeparvovec and experience a plateau or decline in function.
View original scientific description
This is an open-label, single-arm, multicenter clinical study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of risdiplam administered in pediatric participants with SMA and 2 SMN2 copies who previously received onasemnogene abeparvovec and experience a plateau or decline in function. Participants to be enrolled are children \<2 years of age genetically diagnosed with SMA.
Interventions
DRUG
Risdiplam
Participants will receive risdiplam orally at the currently approved dose. The dose should be adapted for weight and age.
Primary outcome measures
Change from Baseline in the Raw Score of Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development - Third Edition (BSID-III) Gross Motor Score at 72 Weeks of Risdiplam Treatment
Time frame: Baseline, Week 72
The BSID-III is a standardized assessment commonly used to evaluate developmental functioning of infants and young children between 1 month and 42 months of age. The gross motor scale measures the movement of the limbs and torso. Items assess static positioning (e.g., sitting, standing); dynamic movement, including locomotion and coordination; balance; and motor planning. The gross motor scale consists of 72 items scored at 0 (unable to perform) or 1 (criteria for item achieved). A higher raw score indicates improvement.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- \<2 years of age at the time of informed consent
- Confirmed diagnosis of 5q-autosomal recessive SMA, including genetic confirmation of homozygous deletion or compound heterozygosity predictive of loss of function of the Survival of Motor Neuron 1 (SMN1) gene
- Confirmed presence of two SMN2 gene copies as documented through laboratory testing
- Administration of onasemnogene abeparvovec pre-symptomatically or post-symptomatically
- Has received onasemnogene abeparvovec for SMA no less than 13 weeks prior to enrollment
- If treated with risdiplam prior to onasemnogene abeparvovec, risdiplam treatment must not have exceeded 3 weeks and must be discontinued 1 day prior to onasemnogene abeparvovec administration.
- In the opinion of the investigator, has demonstrated a plateau or decline in function post-gene therapy (with a duration of 26 weeks or less) documented by 2 individual time points in the functions as follows: swallowing AND one additional function/abilit

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
