Scientific rationale for a higher dose of nusinersen
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2022 Objective The long‐term favorable safety profile of nusinersen provides an opportunity to consider a higher dose. We report on the relationships between nusinersen cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) exposure, biomarker levels, and clinical efficacy.

History of development of the life-saving drug “Nusinersen” in spinal muscular atrophy
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2022 Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive disorder with an incidence of 1/6,000–1/10,000 and is the leading fatal disease among infants. Previously, there was no effective treatment for SMA.

Nusinersen Administration in Spinal Muscular Atrophy Patients with Severe Scoliosis: Interlaminar Approaches at the Lumbar Level [PDF]
Annals of Child Neurology, 2020 Purpose Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic progressive neuromuscular disorder, and nusinersen has shown to improve its symptoms. Scoliosis is a frequent symptom in patients with SMA and complicates the intrathecal injection of nusinersen. The aim
