| Abstract | Nusinersen is the first disease-modifying therapy approved for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a rare genetic disorder characterized by severe progressive muscular atrophy and weakness. An expanded access program (EAP) provides investigational treatment to patients without other treatment options. An EAP providing nusinersen treatment to individuals with the most severe form of SMA, infantile-onset SMA (consistent with SMA Type I), has enrolled over 800 participants as of September 2018, making it one of the largest in rare disease history. The successes, challenges experienced and opportunities for future consideration during the implementation of the nusinersen EAP are discussed. |
