Summary

This study tests a drug called salanersen in people aged 15 to 60 with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). The drug is designed to help the body produce more of a protein needed for muscle and nerve function. Participants receive an injection once a year for up to 5 years, and researchers will track changes in movement and daily activities. The study includes both people who have never been treated for SMA and those who have taken the drug risdiplam.
