At present, there are no FDA approved therapies for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), and often times it is difficult to find information about new scientific and research advancements. A lack of information can lead to a feeling of hopelessness among SMA families.

There is hope, however.

There are several promising experimental SMA therapies currently in development in the pharmaceutical industry. While these therapies aren’t front page news to most people, for families who have a child with SMA, they offer a ray of hope for improving outcomes, quality of life, and lifespan for those with the disease.

Someday, there will be a cure for Spinal Muscular Atrophy. In the meantime, be sure to follow the progress of all of these SMA therapies at SMA News Today.

The SMA therapy tracker information is based on information that is curated and updated by the SMA Foundation. Be sure to follow their development pipeline as well for updates.
