Page 1/29 Abstract Background: With the approval of three treatments for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and several promising therapies on the horizon, the SMA adolescent and young adult populations are expected to evolve in the coming years. It is imperative to understand this cohort as it exists today to provide optimal care and resources, as well as to assess possible treatment effects over time. In 2018, Cure SMA launched two initiatives geared towards understanding adolescents and young adults with SMA, ages 12- 25. First, Cure SMA launched a Quality of Life (QoL) survey to capture quantitative and qualitative information on this specic age demographic. Concurrently, Cure SMA invited SMA-affected individuals, ages 12-25, to create a three-minute video on their everyday experiences living with SMA.

This medical industry feature, titled “The Role of Pediatricians in Diagnosing & Treating Spinal Muscular Atrophy,” is sponsored by Novartis Gene Therapies. This program is intended for healthcare professionals. Here’s your host, Dr. Matt Birnholz. Host Introductiion Spinal muscular atrophy, or SMA, is a rare, genetic neuromuscular disease caused by a lack of a functional SMN1 gene, resulting in the progressive and irreversible loss of motor neurons. This affects muscle function, including breathing, swallowing and basic movement. With SMA affecting one in every 10,000 births worldwide, pediatricians will likely see a minimal number of cases of SMA over the course of their careers. Nevertheless, SMA is the leading genetic cause of infant death – and pediatricians can play a critical role in diagnosing and treating this disease. This is ReachMD, and I’m Dr. Matt Birnholz. Joining me is Dr. Chamindra Konersman of Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego, and Dr. Kevin Strauss, of the Clinic for Special Children in Pennsylvania. Together, we’ll be discussing the diagnostics and treatment priorities in SMA, the role pediatricians play toward meeting these priorities and one of the current treatment options.

  • Whitepaper- Spinal Muscular Atrophy: Screen at Birth, Save Lives
    Spinal muscular atrophy: Screen at birth, save lives Whitepaper Version 1, 26 March 2021 European Alliance for Newborn Screening in SMA March 2021 Foreword NEWBORN SCREENING: “ZERO POINT” IN TIME by Dr. Alessandra Ferlini, HCP representative of European Reference Networks Euro-NMD, Associate professor in medical genetics, director of the Medical Genetics Unit at the University of Ferrara (Italy) There is full agreement that patients living with rare diseases (RDs) benefit from early diagnosis. Receiving a precise genetic diagnosis offers RD patients the possibility of accessing all preventive and treatment measures. Diagnostic accuracy is now a reality and was not always feasible before the availability and clinical validation of the new genetic analysis approaches. Much has been discussed about how to achieve an exhaustive diagnosis in people living with RDs. This wide brainstorming has suggested that the "zero point in time"* is at birth, where all newborns can be screened and therefore identified, allowing a genetic diagnosis. Therefore, neonatal screening is no longer considered exclusively important for early diagnosis of treatable RDs, but it is also the proper timing in which the genetic diagnosis can be assured to everyone. Certainly, there are ethical and economic aspects that are important to consider, but the future of genomic medicine looks in that direction. Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a clear and typical example of the need for genetic neonatal screening capable of identifying patients at the “zero point” in time.* This enables patients access to new innovative therapeutic treatments, the best standards of care, and family prevention. It gives young patients and their families the confidence that they will be taken care of, treated, and never left alone in managing their disease.

  • Landmark Agreement Enables Families in England to Have Access to Innovative One-Time Gene Therapy on the NHS
    EMBARGOED UNTIL 00:01 Monday 8th March 2021 MEDIA RELEASE • MEDIA RELEASE • MEDIA RELEASE Landmark agreement enables families in England to have access to innovative one-time gene therapy on the NHS • NHS England and Novartis Gene Therapies have concluded a landmark agreement that secures access for families in England to Zolgensma®▼ (onasemnogene abeparvovec), the only one-time gene therapy for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). • The announcement of this agreement coincides with NICE draft guidance recommending onasemnogene abeparvovec as a treatment option on the NHS. • Onasemnogene abeparvovec is the only therapy designed to address the genetic root cause of SMA helping to halt disease progression.1 London, UK, 8th March, 2021 NHS England (NHSE) and Novartis Gene Therapies have concluded a landmark agreement that enables access to Zolgensma® (onasemnogene abeparvovec) for use in the NHS in England for infants with a clinical diagnosis, or a genotype predictive, of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) Type 1. The terms of the agreement build on draft recommendations issued today by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) to expedite access for patients whilst NICE final guidance is concluded. Additionally, children with Type 1 SMA who currently fall outside these draft recommendations, but are within the scope of the marketing authorisation, can be considered for treatment by the national multidisciplinary team; where it determines that treatment with onasemnogene abeparvovec would be clinically appropriate, then NHS

The decision to lift the hold was based on data from Novartis’ comprehensive nonclinical toxicology study in non-human primates (NHP) that addressed all issues identified, including questions of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) injury following IT administration. Following this decision and input from the FDA and European Medicines Agency (EMA), Novartis now plans to initiate STEER, a global pivotal Phase 3 registration-enabling study to evaluate the clinical efficacy, safety, and tolerability of OAV-101 IT in treatment naïve patients who are between two and 18 years of age, able to sit, but have never walked.
