Yesterday in London and Manchester we stood demanding the right for the SMA community to access the only treatment, Spinraza.
Come and join us at the protests today!
On Friday 7th September TreatSMA and the community will stand alongside each other and hold a protest against the proposed decision to not recommend the life-saving drug Spinraza for treating children and adults.
Nusinersen Expanded Access Programme will close for new patients on 1 November 2018, even as those currently in the programme will continue without changes.
Leading UK physicians and SMA advocacy groups react negatively to the proposed negative recommendation on nusinersen therapy.
The SMA Community takes the fight for treatment to the public media.
Biogen has shared with us their stance on the proposed Spinraza guidance.
Shocking news. The National Institute of Health and Care Excellence officially recommends that nusinersen (Spinraza®) is NOT offered through the NHS to anyone with SMA.
