| According to Dr. Kaspar, Principal Investigator, The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital: "Based on positive pre-clinical studies using a gene therapy to treat a mouse mouse model of SMA, The Kaspar and Burghes Laboratories at Nationwide Children's Hospital and The Ohio State University initiated preliminary studies in non-human primates and have seen successful translation of the gene delivery approach in a larger species." |  |
"These results have prompted a research and clinical team including Dr. Kissel, Dr. Kolb, and Dr. Mendell to be established to initiate a translational program for human clinical trials for SMA. Presentation of the data and the plans to rapidly move the program forward are forthcoming in the next several weeks."
