Descriptive Information

• Brief Title: A Study to Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of RO7204239 in Combination With Risdiplam (RO7034067) in Participants With Spinal Muscular Atrophy
• Official Title: A Two-Part, Seamless, Multi-Center, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Efficacy of RO7204239 in Combination With Risdiplam (RO7034067) in Patients With Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Brief Summary

Risdiplam works by helping the body produce more survival motor neuron (SMN) protein throughout the body. This means fewer motor neurons - nerve cells that pass impulses from nerves to muscles to cause movement - are lost, which may improve how well muscles work in people with SMA. RO7204239 is an investigational anti-myostatin antibody that is designed to target myostatin. Myostatin plays an important role in the regulation of skeletal muscle size by controlling growth. Inhibiting myostatin may help muscles grow in size and strength. RO7204239 in combination with risdiplam, which is designed to increase the amount of SMN protein throughout the body, has the potential to further improve motor function and clinical outcomes for people living with SMA.

This trial will study the safety and efficacy of RO7204239 in combination with risdiplam in patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). The trial has two parts; Part 1 is the dose-finding part in SMA patients that are either ambulant (aged 2-10 years) or non-ambulant (aged 5-10 years) within separate cohorts, and Part 2 is the pivotal part in SMA patients aged 2-25 years that are ambulant.

Study Arms

• Experimental: RO7204239 + Risdiplam

  Participants who have not previously been treated with risdiplam will receive risdiplam for at least 8 weeks prior to randomization into a treatment group (Part 1 only). Participants that have been treated with risdiplam for at least 8 continuous weeks immediately prior to joining the study may be immediately randomized to combination therapy, or join the study run-in period (the period between screening and randomization to a treatment group) where they will continue to receive risdiplam monotherapy until randomization.

  Participants enrolled in Part 1 will receive RO7204239 (low or high dose) + risdiplam for 24 weeks, followed by RO7204239 + risdiplam for 72 weeks.

  Participants enrolled in Part 2 will receive risdiplam for 8 weeks and then treatment with RO7204239 + risdiplam for 72 weeks.

  Once the treatment period has completed (Part 1 or Part 2), participants will have the option of treatment with RO7204239 + risdiplam for 2 additional years.
