Participants aged 6 to <24 months at time of AVXS-101 dosing received a single 6.0E13 vg dose of AVXS-101 administered as an intrathecal injection on Day 1 of the overall study. Participants also received daily doses of prophylactic oral prednisolone starting at a dose of 1 mg/kg/day from 1 day prior to AVXS-101 injection until at least 30 days post-injection at which point the prednisolone dose could be tapered downwards. At week 9, prednisolone could be discontinued. | Participants aged 6 to <24 months at time of AVXS-101 dosing received a single 1.2E14 vg dose of AVXS-101 administered as an intrathecal injection on Day 1 of the overall study.
