Development of a Splice-Switching Antisense Oligonucleotide for the Treatment of Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Abstract

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease that is the leading genetic cause of infantile death worldwide. In this proposal, a novel drug will be analyzed and moved closer to the clinic for a treatment for SMA. The objectives include generating data that will be included within a submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and the culmination of the project is designed to write and submit an Investigational New Drug application.
