Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disease characterized by progressive muscle weakness; it is a leading genetic cause of death in infants. SMA is divided into four clinical subtypes based on severity and age at symptom onset. Since 2016, three disease-modifying therapies have been approved for SMA: Biogen’s Spinraza (nusinersen), Novartis / AveXis’s Zolgensma (formerly AVXS-101; onasemnogene abeparvovec), and Roche / Genentech / PTC Therapeutics’ Evrysdi (risdiplam). Although these therapies have expanded treatment options for patients, the therapies are associated with many challenges, including high prices, which limit patients’ access to them. In the SMA pipeline are many therapies with diverse mechanisms of action and routes of administration; if approved, they will allow physicians to treat patients based on their symptoms, comorbidities, and preferences. In this content, we will explore the clinical and commercial potential of key current and emerging therapies for SMA.
