WHAT SPINRAZA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Spinraza contains the active substance
_nusinersen_
which belongs to a group of medicines known as
_antisense oligonucleotides_
. Spinraza is used to treat a genetic disease called
_spinal muscular atrophy_
(SMA).
SPINAL MUSCULAR ATROPHY
is caused by a shortage of a protein called
_survival motor neuron_
(SMN) in
the body. This results in the loss of nerve cells in the spine,
leading to weakness of the muscles in the
shoulders, hips, thighs and upper back. It may also weaken the muscles
used for breathing and
swallowing.
Spinraza works by helping the body to produce more of the SMN protein
that people with SMA are
lacking. This reduces the loss of nerve cells and so may improve
muscle strength.

Spinraza is indicated for the treatment of 5q Spinal Muscular Atrophy.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Treatment with Spinraza should only be initiated by a physician with
experience in the management of
spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
The decision to treat should be based on an individualised expert
evaluation of the expected benefits of
treatment for that individual, balanced against the potential risk of
treatment with Spinraza. Patients
with profound hypotonia and respiratory failure at birth, where
Spinraza has not been studied, may not
experience a clinically meaningful benefit due to severe survival
motor neuron (SMN) protein
deficiency.
Posology
The recommended dosage is 12 mg (5 ml) per administration.
Spinraza treatment should be initiated as early as possible after
diagnosis with 4 loading doses on
Days 0, 14, 28 and 63. A maintenance dose should be administered once
every 4 months thereafter.
