Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Emerging Therapy

Thelansis’s “Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Emerging Therapy, with Unmet Needs and TPP Insights Report – 2024 To 2034″ provides a comprehensive analysis of the emerging competitive landscape, unmet needs, target product profiles (TPPs), trial designs, and KOL insights on key emerging therapies and key drug development opportunities in the indication.

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Overview

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic neuromuscular disorder primarily characterized by the progressive, irreversible loss and degeneration of alpha motor neurons in the anterior horn of the spinal cord and brain stem, leading to profound, typically symmetric, muscle weakness and atrophy, most severely affecting the proximal muscles and eventually causing paralysis in severe cases. This condition is overwhelmingly caused by mutations or deletions in the Survival Motor Neuron 1 (SMN1) gene, which results in a deficiency of the critical SMN protein required for motor neuron health and function. The clinical severity of SMA, historically classified into subtypes (e.g., Type I, II, III, IV), exists along a continuous spectrum that is mainly influenced by the number of copies of the SMN2 “backup gene,” with higher copy numbers generally correlating with increased functional SMN protein and a milder, later-onset phenotype, though modern treatment using SMN-modifying therapies (e.g., antisense oligonucleotides, gene therapy) has revolutionized prognosis by directly addressing the underlying protein deficiency.
