Risdiplam (Evrysdi™) is an orally administered, survival motor neuron 2 (SMN2)-directed RNA splicing modifier being developed by Roche, PTC Therapeutics Inc and the SMA Foundation for the treatment of the spinal muscular atrophy. The small molecule is designed to treat spinal muscular atrophy caused by mutations in chromosome 5q leading to SMN protein deficiency. Using in vitro assays and studies in transgenic animal models of SMA, risdiplam was shown to increase exon 7 inclusion in SMN2 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) transcripts and production of full-length SMN protein in the brain. The drug boosts the ability of an alternative gene SMN2 to produce full-length and functional SMN protein. In August 2020, Evrysdi™ (risdiplam) received its first approval in the USA for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy in patients 2 months of age and older.

Sample Use Guides

EVRYSDI is administered orally once daily. The recommended dosage is determined by age and body weight. 2 years of age and older weighing 20 kg or more: 5 mg
Route of Administration: Oral
At clinically relevant concentrations (Cmax of 37 nM unbound risdiplam in infants with type 1 SMA aged 1-7 months at enrolment), risdiplam efficiently corrected the dysfunctional splicing of the human SMN2 pre-mRNA by shifting the alternative splicing reaction towards the inclusion of SMN2 exon 7 and by inducing gene expression of FL SMN2 mRNA, in cultured Type 1 SMA patient-derived cells (EC50 11-12 nM and 24-19 nM, respectively); this in turns led to the production of the FL mRNA which translated into increased SMN protein levels (EC50 12 nM).
