Why SPINRAZA/Early-Onset Efficacy

Pivotal trial: ENDEAR2,5

Study: A phase 3, multicenter, double-blind, randomized (2:1), sham-controlled trial

Treatment duration: 13 months

Participants: 121 patients with early-onset SMA aged ≤7 months at time of first dose

Primary endpoints: Survival without the need for permanent ventilation and proportion of patients meeting the criteria for motor milestone responder using HINE-2

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

Better event-free survival compared to untreated patients2

*Permanent assisted ventilation was defined as tracheostomy or ventilatory support for ≥16 hours per day for >21 continuous days in the absence of an acute reversible event.

Those with Type 1 SMA saw improvements in motor milestones that are rarely, if ever, achieved in untreated children2

51% treated vs 0% untreated achieved the motor milestone responder criteria as defined by HINE-2 at 13 months. Motor milestones included2:

P<0.0001
Responders=patients achieving an improvement in more categories of motor milestones than worsening according to HINE-2.5
HINE-2=Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination Section 2, motor milestone portion.

Patients treated with SPINRAZA continued to improve over time (day 394), while untreated patients saw a decline in motor milestones2
