Improvements are possible with SPINRAZA

When started earlier, SPINRAZA may help children progress on WHO motor milestones consistent with normal development.

Supportive study: NURTURE

Who: 25 infants aged 6 weeks and younger who had not yet shown symptoms of SMA

Study time: This supportive study is ongoing

Primary outcomes: Time to death or respiratory intervention

Secondary outcomes: The effect SPINRAZA has on reaching WHO motor milestones

Limitations: Small number of participants. The study is open-label.

Safety: Consistent with the SPINRAZA prescribing information. After a follow-up of over 14 months to 5.7 years, 25/25 infants experienced any AE (mild, moderate, or severe), and no new safety concerns were identified

After at least 14 months of treatment:

At the initial interim analysis performed after all infants had received SPINRAZA for at least 14 months (median, 25 months; range, 14 to 34 months), 100% (25/25) of infants were alive without the need for permanent ventilation, 100% (25/25) were sitting without support, 88% (22/25) were walking with assistance, and 77% (17/22) of infants were walking independently.

After nearly 5 years of follow-up*:

100% (25/25) of presymptomatic infants were alive without permanent ventilation after a median follow-up of 4.9 years in the study. 84% (21/25) never required respiratory intervention

Respiratory intervention is defined as ventilation for ≥6 hours/day continuously for ≥7 days, or tracheostomy.

Permanent ventilation is defined as ventilation for ≥16 hours/day for >21 days in absence of an acute reversible event, or tracheostomy.

The majority of presymptomatic infants achieved the following WHO motor milestones:

100%

25 out of 25 were
sitting without support

96%

24 out of 25 were walking
with assistance

92%

23 out of 25 were walking
independently

*At least half of patients were followed for at least 4.9 years.

Additional Data

After ~3 years of follow-up§

88%22 out of 25
able to suck/ swallow well

based on maximal HINE-1 score at the
day 778 visit

After ~4 years of follow-up

84%21 out of 25
never required tube feeds

92%23 out of 25 never needed to
suction excess saliva or drool

based on caregiver assessment of swallowing difficulty during mealtime over a period of 7 days

§At least half of patients were followed for at least 3.8 years.
