Evrysdi boosts motor function, quality of life in Asian SMA patients

A study of 34 patients in Hong Kong found that Evrysdi (a medicine taken by mouth) helped children and adults with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) move better and feel better in their daily lives. Patients who had never taken SMA medicine before saw the biggest improvements. The good results lasted for up to three years.

WHY IT MATTERSThis real-world evidence from Asian patients shows Evrysdi works well outside of clinical trials, which may help doctors decide if it's the right treatment for SMA patients in your region.
