Paradoxical increase of neurofilaments in SMA patients treated with onasemnogene abeparvovec-xioi

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
Background/ObjectiveNeurofilament light chain (NfL) has been proposed as a biomarker reflecting disease severity and therapy response in children with spinal muscular atrophy type 1 and 2 (SMA1 and 2). The objective of this study was to examine how serum

The Dynamics of Neurofilament Light Chain in Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Newborn screening (NBS) for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) facilitates early diagnosis and treatment for affected individuals. However, fluid biomarkers that provide early insights into disease activity and outcomes in a neonatal cohort and those unable to access (due to reimbursement criteria) or deferring immediate treatment are lacking ...

Switching disease‐modifying therapies in patients with spinal muscular atrophy: A systematic review on effectiveness outcomes

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
With multiple disease‐modifying therapies now available, treatment switching has become an important clinical consideration in the management of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). While some switches are prompted by suboptimal clinical response, more commonly they are driven by treatment burden, convenience, or adverse events.

RNA-Targeting Splicing Modifiers: Drug Development and Screening Assays [PDF]

, 2021
RNA splicing is an essential step in producing mature messenger RNA (mRNA) and other RNA species. Harnessing RNA splicing modifiers as a new pharmacological modality is promising for the treatment of diseases caused by aberrant splicing.

Early‐stage health technology assessment of a curative gene therapy for multiple sclerosis

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Multiple sclerosis (MS) is associated with significant early morbidity, reduced life expectancy and substantial healthcare and societal costs. The primary objective of this study is to assess the early cost‐effectiveness potential of a novel gene therapy, IMMUTOL, for MS compared with current high‐efficacy treatment sequences.

Exploration of adverse events associated with risdiplam use: Retrospective cases from the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database.

PLoS ONE
Risdiplam is a new drug for treating spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). However, pharmacovigilance analyses are necessary to objectively evaluate its safety-a crucial step in preventing severe adverse events (AEs).

Cost‐utility analysis of nusinersen–risdiplam switch in patients with spinal muscular atrophy in Croatia: A discrete event simulation model

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Introduction In recent years, the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a rare disease, has significantly progressed, improving patients' survival and overall quality of life. However, current SMA treatments are expensive, and some (nusinersen) are very inconvenient for patients.
