WHY SPINRAZA/EARLY-ONSET STUDY

Pivotal study: ENDEAR

Who: 121 children 7 months of age and younger with Type 1 (early-onset) SMA


Study time: 13 months


Primary outcomes:

  • Time to death or use of permanent assisted ventilation
  • The proportion of responders (or number of children) who showed an improvement in motor milestones according to HINE-2

Safety: The most common side effects were lower respiratory infection (55%) and constipation (35%). Serious adverse reactions of collapsed lung (atelectasis) were more frequent in the SPINRAZA-treated group (18%) than in the control group (10%).

Those with Type 1 SMA showed improvements in motor milestones that are rarely, if ever, achieved in untreated children

51% vs 0% untreated were motor milestone responders according to HINE-2 at 13 months. Motor milestones included:

63% reduced risk of mortality in the SPINRAZA group
