A Study for Participants With Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Who Previously Participated in Nusinersen (ISIS 396443) Investigational Studies

An Open-Label Extension Study for Patients With Spinal Muscular Atrophy Who Previously Participated in Investigational Studies of ISIS 396443

The primary objective is to evaluate long-term safety and tolerability of nusinersen (ISIS 396443) administered by intrathecal (IT) injection to participants with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) who previously participated in investigational studies of nusinersen. The secondary objective is to examine the long-term efficacy of nusinersen administered by IT injection to participants with SMA who previously participated in investigational studies of nusinersen.

This study was initiated and the protocol was registered by Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
