Longer-term Treatment With Nusinersen: Results in Later-onset Spinal Muscular Atrophy From the SHINE and CHERISH Studies

This study explores the background and rationale behind utilizing nusinersen for the treatment of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), shedding light on the critical need for the SHINE study. Delving into the characteristics of the patient population involved, the research aims to deepen our understanding of the therapeutic potential of nusinersen in addressing SMA, a debilitating genetic disorder.

Further discussion of the SHINE study explores characteristics unique to the trial's patient population.

Longitudinal trends in hospitalization rates in patients with later-onset SMA (SMA) treated with nusinersen up to 4.5 years are discussed. Results from the CHERISH and SHINE studies are discussed.

Thomas Crawford, MD, discusses exciting new findings from the pivotal NURTURE study.

Important takeaways for patients, payers, and providers are covered by expert faculty.

Critical coverage considerations for SMA therapies are discussed.
