Avexis announced that they have applied for FDA approval for the gene therapy called AVXS-101. This medicine It is a treatment that replaces the missing or damaged SMN1 gene in SMA patients. This medicine is expected to be suitable for SMA Type 1 babies. In addition, Avexis is also testing the intrathecal administration of this drug, that is, through the spinal fluid. Intrathecal application will enable older patients (type 2-3) to access this treatment. FDA will first review this application for completeness, and then FDA will evaluate this application to determine that AVXS-101 is safe and effective when administered intravenously. The final decision is expected to be made in the second half of 2019. This medicine It is a single dose. The healthy gene is injected at once and the patient becomes capable of producing the SMN protein. After Avexis received approval from FDA and EMA,  Prices are expected to decrease for Spinraza, the only SMA drug in the world, if it is released to the market. title="To get detailed information about the subject;" href="http://www.curesma.org/news/avexis-statement-fda-filing.html">http://www.curesma.org/news/avexis-statement-fda-filing.html
