Spinal Muscular AtrophyDiscovery of a small molecule therapeutic
JAN 2015 33
Spinal Muscular Atrophy:The leading genetic cause of mortality in infants
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by the loss of a SMN-1 gene
Low expression of SMN protein leads to the loss of motor neurons in the spinal cord
Low levels of SMN lead to the death of motor neurons in the spinal cord and muscle atrophy
One in every 10,000 children born is affected with the disorder
No marketed therapies for SMA, only palliative treatments
SMA program partnered with Roche and the SMA Foundation

Lessons learned
Baseline 6MWD is a key factor in determining whether DMD patients decline The mean ∆6MWD in >350 meter population was relatively stable
Difficult to demonstrate a drug effect over a 48-week study The mean ∆6MWD in <350 meter population show a large decline
Best population to demonstrate an effect in ambulation in a 48-week study Confirmatory trial has inclusion criteria to enrich patients in the decline phase
Placebo
TranslarnaTM treatment effect increases in the decline subgroup and in the pre-specified baseline 6MWD <350 m subgroup
