inclusion criteria:
• Eligible Ages: 2 - 10
• Eligible Sexes: all
Inclusion Criteria:
Participants who are 2 to 10 years of age inclusive at screening
Participants who have a confirmed genetic diagnosis of 5q-autosomal recessive SMA
Symptomatic SMA disease, as per investigator's clinical judgement
Participants who are ambulant, where ambulant is defined as able to walk/run unassisted (i.e., without the use of assistive devices such as canes, walking sticks, crutches, walkers, person/hand-held assistance, braces, orthoses, over the malleoli insoles or any other type of support) 10 meters in
Participants who have received previous SMA disease-modifying therapies may be included provided that: Onasemnogene abeparvovec was received at least 90 days prior to screening. Participants should be tapered off steroids prior to receiving risdiplam. In addition, participants should have normal levels of liver function tests, coagulatory parameters, platelets, and troponin-I at 90 days after administration of onasemnogene abeparvovec or at least 1 month after tapering off corticosteroids, whichever comes later; Nusinersen last dose was received at least 90 days prior to screening; Risdiplam is switched to the investigational medicinal product (IMP) provided by the site
exclusion criteria: Criteria:
Concomitant or previous participation in any investigational drug or device study within 90 days prior to screening or 5 half-lives of the drug whichever is longer, with the exception of those who have completed a risdiplam study, or participated in a nusinersen or onasemnogene abeparvovec study
Receiving or have received previous administration of anti-myostatin therapies
For Part 1 participants aged 5 to 10 years only: contraindications for MRI scans including difficulties maintaining a prolonged supine position, or any other clinical history or examination finding that would pose a potential hazard in combination with MRI
Any history of cell therapy
