AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
SPINRAZA (nusinersen) is an antisense oligonucleotide administered intrathecally that modulates SMN2 pre-mRNA splicing to increase survival motor neuron protein production. It is indicated for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a rare genetic neuromuscular disorder characterized by progressive muscle weakness and motor neuron degeneration. The drug represents a foundational breakthrough in SMA treatment, approved in December 2016 as the first disease-modifying therapy for this indication.
