Emerging Treatment Data for Patients With SMA
Sponsored by Biogen
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by progressive muscle weakness resulting from the degeneration of motor neurons in the spinal cord. For patients with SMA, this can lead to reduced mobility and decreased survival in the most severe cases. Timely and effective intervention remains important, as disease progression is highly variable among patients with SMA and motor function loss may become permanent. In this session, we will describe a treatment option for SMA, the benefits of therapeutic intervention, and associated efficacy and safety data. [This program is open only to representatives of payers, formulary committees, or other similar entities who have responsibility for the selection of drugs for coverage or reimbursement.]
