Risdiplam-Treated Infants with Type 1 Spinal Muscular Atrophy versus Historical Controls

Abstract

In this study involving infants with type 1 SMA, risdiplam resulted in higher percentages of infants who met motor milestones and who showed improvements in motor function than the percentages observed in historical cohorts. Longer and larger trials are required to determine the long-term safety and efficacy of risdiplam in infants with type 1 SMA. (Funded by F.
