Itvisma: animal efficacy model or human cells?

onasemnogene abeparvovec (intrathecal) · SMN1 (AAV9, intrathecal)
Efficacy evidence
SMA piglet model, IT research-grade vector (scAAV9.CBA.SMN): prevented hindlimb weakness and slowed disease progression
“In a piglet model of SMA, scAAV9.CBA.SMN administered by the IT ROA prevented the development of hindlimb muscle weakness and slowed overall disease progression.”
✓ VerifiedFDA summary basis for approval, p. 15Source ↗
Why that model
Pharmacology relied on studies/publications already evaluated for the Zolgensma marketing authorisation
“All the submitted studies / publications have already been evaluated during marketing authorisation application for Zolgensma and are addressed below.”
✓ VerifiedEMA assessment report, p. 28Source ↗
Reviewer's view of the efficacy data
EMA: animal efficacious doses suggest the targeted IT dose is not achievable in patients; clinical dose must rest on clinical data
“Thus, a rough comparison, not taking into consideration ICV versus IT and differences between mice and men, would conclude that the clinically targeted intrathecal dose is not achievable in patients. Support for the clinical dose should be derived from clinical data.”
