HINE-2, Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination section 2; N/A, not available.

aThere are no published head-to-head studies of onasemnogene abeparvovec and nusinersen. Differences in trial design, including primary endpoints, how endpoints were measured, and eligibility criteria, make direct comparison of results from these studies infeasible. The PNCR measured CHOP INTEND; NURTURE measured WHO and HINE-2 criteria; and STR1VE-US and STR1VE-EU measured WHO criteria and CHOP INTEND.

bNURTURE results represent interim analysis at data cut of 29 March 2019. At the time of this analysis, the median age of the infants was 34.8 months (range, 25.7–45.4)26.

cMedian (range) is reported as the interquartile range.

dValue obtained for patients with symptom onset <3 months of age, including seven patients with two SMN2 copies and one patient with three SMN2 copies

eUlnar CMAP amplitude recorded from the abductor digiti minimi muscle at baseline for the PNCR and NURTURE studies and peroneal CMAP amplitude recorded from the tibialis anterior muscle for SPR1NT.

fMilestones were evaluated over different observation periods between studies and included 18 months for STR1VE-US, STR1VE-EU, and SPR1NT two-copy cohort; 24 months for the SPR1NT three-copy cohort; and a median follow-up time of 35 months for NURTURE.

gSurvival without permanent ventilation at 14 months.
