11 Description
EVRYSDI for oral solution and EVRYSDI tablets for oral use contain risdiplam, which is a survival of motor neuron 2 (SMN2)-directed RNA splicing modifier.
The chemical name of risdiplam is 7-(4,7-diazaspiro[2.5]octan-7-yl)-2-(2,8 dimethylimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazin-6-yl)pyrido-4H-[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one. Risdiplam has a molecular weight of 401.46 g/mol. Risdiplam demonstrates pH-dependent aqueous solubility; the greatest solubility is at low pH, and solubility decreases with increasing pH. Risdiplam has a pKa1 of 3.78 (base) and pKa2 of 6.62 (base).
The molecular formula of risdiplam is C22H23N7O and the chemical structure is shown below.
EVRYSDI for oral solution is supplied as a powder in an amber glass bottle. Each bottle contains 60 mg of risdiplam. The inactive ingredients of EVRYSDI are: ascorbic acid, disodium edetate dihydrate, isomalt, mannitol, polyethylene glycol 6000, sodium benzoate, strawberry flavor, sucralose, and tartaric acid.
The powder is constituted with purified water to yield 60 mg/80 mL (0.75 mg/mL) of risdiplam after constitution [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].
Each EVRYSDI tablet contains 5 mg of risdiplam. The inactive ingredients of EVRYSDI tablet are colloidal silicon dioxide, crospovidone, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene glycol 3350, polyvinyl alcohol, sodium stearyl fumarate, strawberry flavor, talc, tartaric acid, titanium dioxide, and yellow iron oxide.
2.3 Missed Dose
If a dose of EVRYSDI is missed, EVRYSDI should be administered as soon as possible if still within 6 hours of the missed dose, and the usual dosing schedule can be resumed on the next day. Otherwise, the missed dose should be skipped, and the next dose should be taken at the regularly scheduled time on the next day.
If a dose is not fully swallowed or vomiting occurs after taking a dose of EVRYSDI, another dose should not be administered to make up for the lost dose. The patient should wait until the next day to take the next dose at the regularly scheduled time.
8.4 Pediatric Use
The safety and effectiveness of EVRYSDI in pediatric patients (neonates and older) have been established. Use of EVRYSDI for SMA is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies of EVRYSDI in patients 2 months of age and older with SMA. Use of EVRYSDI for SMA in patients 2 months of age and younger is supported by pharmacokinetic and safety data from pediatric patients 16 days and older, and pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation to identify the dosing regimen [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) and Clinical Studies (14)].
8.5 Geriatric Use
Clinical studies of EVRYSDI did not include patients aged 65 years and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger adult patients.
14 Clinical Studies
The efficacy of EVRYSDI for the treatment of patients with infantile-onset, later-onset, and pre-symptomatic SMA was evaluated in three clinical studies, Study 1 (NCT02913482) and Study 2 (NCT02908685), and Study 3 (NCT03779334), respectively.
The overall findings of these studies support the effectiveness of EVRYSDI in SMA pediatric and adult patients and appear to support the early initiation of treatment with EVRYSDI.
4 Contraindications
None.
6 Adverse Reactions
The most common adverse reactions in later-onset SMA (incidence at least 10% of patients treated with EVRYSDI and more frequent than control) were fever, diarrhea, and rash. (6.1)
The most common adverse reactions in infantile-onset SMA were similar to those observed in later-onset SMA patients. Additionally, adverse reactions with an incidence of at least 10% were upper respiratory tract infection, lower respiratory tract infection, constipation, vomiting, and cough. (6.1)
To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Genentech at 1-888-835-2555 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
7 Drug Interactions
Avoid coadministration with drugs that are substrates of multidrug and toxin extrusion (MATE) transporters. (7.1)
14.2 Later Onset Sma
Study 2 was a 2-part, multicenter trial to investigate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of EVRYSDI for oral solution in patients diagnosed with SMA Type 2 or Type 3. Part 1 of Study 2 was dose-finding and exploratory in 51 patients (14% ambulatory). Part 2 was randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, and is described below.
The primary endpoint in Study 2 Part 2 was the change from baseline to Month 12 in the Motor Function Measure 32 (MFM32) score. A key secondary endpoint was the proportion of patients with a 3-point or greater change from baseline to Month 12 in the MFM32 total score. The MFM32 measures motor function abilities that relate to daily functions. The total MFM32 score is expressed as a percentage (range: 0 to 100) of the maximum possible score, with higher scores indicating greater motor function. Another key secondary endpoint was the Revised Upper Limb Module (RULM). The RULM is a tool used to assess motor performance of the upper limb in SMA patients. It tests proximal and distal motor functions of the arm. The total score ranges from 0 (all the items cannot be performed) to 37 (all the activities are achieved fully without any compensatory maneuvers).
Study 2 Part 2 enrolled 180 non-ambulatory patients with Type 2 (71%) or Type 3 (29%) SMA. Patients were randomized 2:1 to receive EVRYSDI at the recommended dosage [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)] or placebo. Randomization was stratified by age group (2 to 5, 6 to 11, 12 to 17, or 18 to 25 years of age).
The median age of patients at the start of treatment was 9.0 years (range: 2 to 25), and the median time between onset of initial SMA symptoms and first treatment was 102.6 months (range: 1 to 275). Of the 180 patients included in the trial, 51% were female, 67% were Caucasian, and 19% were Asian. At baseline, 67% of patients had scoliosis (32% of them with severe scoliosis). Patients had a mean baseline MFM32 score of 46.1, and RULM score of 20.1. Overall baseline demographic characteristics were reasonably balanced between the treatment groups (EVRYSDI and placebo), with the exception of scoliosis (63% in the EVRYSDI arm vs. 73% in the placebo group).
The primary analysis on the change from baseline in MFM32 total score at Month 12 showed a clinically meaningful and statistically significant difference between patients treated with EVRYSDI and placebo. The results of the primary analysis and key secondary endpoints are shown in Table 4 and Figure 1.

12.2 Pharmacodynamics
In clinical trials for infantile-onset SMA and later-onset SMA patients, EVRYSDI led to an increase in SMN protein with a greater than 2-fold median change from baseline within 4 weeks of treatment initiation across all SMA types studied. The increase was sustained throughout the treatment period (of at least 24 months).
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetics of EVRYSDI have been characterized in healthy adult subjects and in patients with SMA.
After administration of EVRYSDI as an oral solution, pharmacokinetics of risdiplam were approximately linear between 0.6 and 18 mg in a single-ascending-dose study in healthy adult subjects, and between 0.02 and 0.25 mg/kg once daily in a multiple-ascending-dose study in patients with SMA. Following once-daily oral administration of risdiplam in healthy subjects, approximately 3-fold accumulation of peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) and area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC0-24h) was observed. Risdiplam exposures reach steady state 7 to 14 days after once daily administration. EVRYSDI tablet (swallowed whole or dispersed in water) demonstrated comparable bioavailability to EVRYSDI for oral solution in adult healthy volunteers under fasted and fed states.
2.1 Dosing Information
EVRYSDI is administered orally once daily with or without food at approximately the same time each day. The recommended dosage is determined by age and body weight (see Table 1). EVRYSDI tablets are available for patients prescribed the 5 mg dose.
| Age and Body Weight | Recommended Daily Dosage | Dosage Form |
|---|---|---|
| Less than 2 months of age | 0.15 mg/kg | EVRYSDI for Oral Solution |
| 2 months to less than 2 years of age | 0.2 mg/kg | |
| 2 years of age and older weighing less than 20 kg | 0.25 mg/kg | |
| 2 years of age and older weighing 20 kg or more | 5 mg | EVRYSDI for Oral Solution or EVRYSDI Tablet |
1 Indications and Usage
EVRYSDI is indicated for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) in pediatric and adult patients.
12.1 Mechanism of Action
Risdiplam is a survival of motor neuron 2 (SMN2) splicing modifier designed to treat patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) caused by mutations in chromosome 5q that lead 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.
In vitro and in vivo data indicate that risdiplam may cause alternative splicing of additional genes, including FOXM1 and MADD. FOXM1 and MADD are thought to be involved in cell cycle regulation and apoptosis, respectively, and have been identified as possible contributors to adverse effects seen in animals.
14.1 Infantile Onset Sma
Study 1 was an open-label, 2-part study to investigate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of EVRYSDI for oral solution in patients with Type 1 SMA (symptom onset between 28 days and 3 months of age). All patients had genetic confirmation of homozygous deletion or compound heterozygosity predictive of loss of function of the SMN1 gene, and two SMN2 gene copies.
Part 1 of Study 1 was designed as a dose-finding study. Part 2 of Study 1 assessed the safety and efficacy of EVRYSDI at 0.20 mg/kg, the recommended dose determined in Part 1 [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)]. Patients from Part 1 did not take part in Part 2.
A total of 62 patients with symptomatic Type 1 SMA were enrolled in FIREFISH Part 1 (n = 21) and Part 2 (n = 41), of which 58 patients received the recommended dosage [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)]. The median age of onset of clinical signs and symptoms was 1.5 months (range: 0.9 to 3.0 months). The median age at enrollment was 5.6 months (range: 2.2 to 6.9 months), and the median time between onset of symptoms and the first dose was 3.7 months (range 1.0 to 6.0 months). Of these patients, 60% were female, 57% were Caucasian, and 29% were Asian. The demographics and baseline disease characteristics were comparable between Part 1 and Part 2 of the study.
Effectiveness was established based on the ability to sit without support for at least 5 seconds (as measured by Item 22 of the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development – Third Edition (BSID-III) gross motor scale) and on the basis of survival without permanent ventilation. Permanent ventilation was defined as requiring a tracheostomy or more than 21 consecutive days of either non-invasive ventilation (≥ 16 hours per day) or intubation, in the absence of an acute reversible event.
The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients with the ability to sit without support for at least 5 seconds (BSID-III gross motor scale, Item 22) after 12 months of treatment in Part 2; 29% of patients (n = 12/41) achieved this milestone.
Other efficacy endpoints of EVRYSDI-treated patients in Study 1 (pooled Part 1 and Part 2) are shown in Table 3.
| Efficacy Endpoints | Proportion of Patients Parts 1 & 2 at Month 12 | Proportion of Patients Parts 1 & 2 at Month 24 |
|---|---|---|
| Motor Function and Development Milestones | N = 58 Results were pooled from all patients who received the recommended dose of risdiplam (all patients in Part 2 and those in the high-dose cohort of Part 1; n = 58).
|
|
| BSID-III, Item 22: sitting without support for at least 5 seconds | 32.8% | 60.3% |
| Survival and Event-Free Survival | N = 62 Results were pooled from all patients who received any dose of risdiplam in Part 1 and Part 2 (n = 62).
|
|
| Alive without Permanent Ventilation | 87.1% | 83.8% |
At Month 24, 40% (23/58) of patients who received the recommended dose achieved sitting without support for 30 seconds (BSID-III, Item 26). In addition at Month 24, patients continued to achieve additional motor milestones; 28% (16/58) of patients achieved a standing measure (16% [9/58] supporting weight and 12% [7/58] standing with support), as measured by Section 2 of the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE-2) which assesses motor milestones.
The proportion of patients alive without permanent ventilation (event-free survival) was 84% for all patients at Month 24 (Table 3). Out of 62 patients, 6 infants died (4 within the first 3 months following study enrollment) and one additional patient withdrew from treatment and died 3.5 months later. Four patients required permanent ventilation by Month 24. These results indicate a clinically meaningful deviation from the natural history of untreated infantile-onset SMA. As described in the natural history of untreated infantile-onset SMA, patients would not be expected to attain the ability to sit independently, and no more than 25% of these patients would be expected to survive without permanent ventilation beyond 14 months of age.
14.3 Pre Symptomatic Sma
Study 3 was an open-label, single-arm, multicenter clinical study to investigate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of EVRYSDI in infants up to 6 weeks of age (at first dose) who have been genetically diagnosed with SMA but do not yet present with symptoms.
The efficacy in pre-symptomatic SMA patients was evaluated at Month 12 in 26 patients treated with EVRYSDI in Study 3: 8 patients had 2 copies of the SMN2 gene, 13 patients had 3 copies, and 5 patients had 4 or more copies. The median age of these patients at first dose was 25 days (range: 16 to 41), 62% were female, and 85% were Caucasian. The primary efficacy population (N = 5) included patients with 2 SMN2 copies and a baseline CMAP amplitude ≥1.5 mV.
The primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of patients with the ability to sit without support for at least 5 seconds (BSID-III gross motor scale, Item 22) at Month 12. This milestone was achieved by 80% (4/5) of patients in the primary efficacy population. This milestone was also achieved by 87.5% (7/8) of all patients with 2 copies of SMN2 and 96.2% (25/26) of patients in the full treated population.
At Month 12, 80.8% (21/26) of patients in the full treated population achieved sitting without support for 30 seconds (BSID-III, Item 26). Of the 26 patients treated with EVRYSDI, 25 patients had motor milestones measured by the HINE-2 at Month 12. Of these, 24 (96%) achieved sitting (23 patients could pivot/rotate and 1 achieved stable sit); 21 (84%) could stand (13 patients could stand unaided and 8 could stand with support); and 12 (48%) could walk independently. Seven patients were not tested for walking at Month 12. All 26 patients were alive at 12 months without permanent ventilation.

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
In clinical trials including patients with infantile-onset SMA, later-onset SMA, and pre-symptomatic SMA, a total of 491 patients (51% female, 74% Caucasian) were exposed to EVRYSDI for up to a median duration of 48.1 months (range: 0.6 to 63.4 months), with 231 patients receiving treatment for more than 24 months. At the time of first EVRYSDI dose, 90 (18%) patients were 18 years and older, 119 (24%) were 12 years to less than 18 years, 189 (39%) were 2 years to less than 12 years, 67 (14%) 2 months to less than 2 years, and 26 (5%) were less than 2 months.

11 Description (11 DESCRIPTION)
EVRYSDI for oral solution and EVRYSDI tablets for oral use contain risdiplam, which is a survival of motor neuron 2 (SMN2)-directed RNA splicing modifier.
The chemical name of risdiplam is 7-(4,7-diazaspiro[2.5]octan-7-yl)-2-(2,8 dimethylimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazin-6-yl)pyrido-4H-[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one. Risdiplam has a molecular weight of 401.46 g/mol. Risdiplam demonstrates pH-dependent aqueous solubility; the greatest solubility is at low pH, and solubility decreases with increasing pH. Risdiplam has a pKa1 of 3.78 (base) and pKa2 of 6.62 (base).
The molecular formula of risdiplam is C22H23N7O and the chemical structure is shown below.
EVRYSDI for oral solution is supplied as a powder in an amber glass bottle. Each bottle contains 60 mg of risdiplam. The inactive ingredients of EVRYSDI are: ascorbic acid, disodium edetate dihydrate, isomalt, mannitol, polyethylene glycol 6000, sodium benzoate, strawberry flavor, sucralose, and tartaric acid.
The powder is constituted with purified water to yield 60 mg/80 mL (0.75 mg/mL) of risdiplam after constitution [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].
Each EVRYSDI tablet contains 5 mg of risdiplam. The inactive ingredients of EVRYSDI tablet are colloidal silicon dioxide, crospovidone, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene glycol 3350, polyvinyl alcohol, sodium stearyl fumarate, strawberry flavor, talc, tartaric acid, titanium dioxide, and yellow iron oxide.
2.3 Missed Dose
If a dose of EVRYSDI is missed, EVRYSDI should be administered as soon as possible if still within 6 hours of the missed dose, and the usual dosing schedule can be resumed on the next day. Otherwise, the missed dose should be skipped, and the next dose should be taken at the regularly scheduled time on the next day.
If a dose is not fully swallowed or vomiting occurs after taking a dose of EVRYSDI, another dose should not be administered to make up for the lost dose. The patient should wait until the next day to take the next dose at the regularly scheduled time.
8.4 Pediatric Use
The safety and effectiveness of EVRYSDI in pediatric patients (neonates and older) have been established. Use of EVRYSDI for SMA is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies of EVRYSDI in patients 2 months of age and older with SMA. Use of EVRYSDI for SMA in patients 2 months of age and younger is supported by pharmacokinetic and safety data from pediatric patients 16 days and older, and pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation to identify the dosing regimen [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) and Clinical Studies (14)].
8.5 Geriatric Use
Clinical studies of EVRYSDI did not include patients aged 65 years and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger adult patients.
14 Clinical Studies (14 CLINICAL STUDIES)
The efficacy of EVRYSDI for the treatment of patients with infantile-onset, later-onset, and pre-symptomatic SMA was evaluated in three clinical studies, Study 1 (NCT02913482) and Study 2 (NCT02908685), and Study 3 (NCT03779334), respectively.
The overall findings of these studies support the effectiveness of EVRYSDI in SMA pediatric and adult patients and appear to support the early initiation of treatment with EVRYSDI.
4 Contraindications (4 CONTRAINDICATIONS)
None.
6 Adverse Reactions (6 ADVERSE REACTIONS)
The most common adverse reactions in later-onset SMA (incidence at least 10% of patients treated with EVRYSDI and more frequent than control) were fever, diarrhea, and rash. (6.1)
The most common adverse reactions in infantile-onset SMA were similar to those observed in later-onset SMA patients. Additionally, adverse reactions with an incidence of at least 10% were upper respiratory tract infection, lower respiratory tract infection, constipation, vomiting, and cough. (6.1)

14.2 Later Onset Sma (14.2 Later-Onset SMA)
Study 2 was a 2-part, multicenter trial to investigate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of EVRYSDI for oral solution in patients diagnosed with SMA Type 2 or Type 3. Part 1 of Study 2 was dose-finding and exploratory in 51 patients (14% ambulatory). Part 2 was randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, and is described below.
The primary endpoint in Study 2 Part 2 was the change from baseline to Month 12 in the Motor Function Measure 32 (MFM32) score. A key secondary endpoint was the proportion of patients with a 3-point or greater change from baseline to Month 12 in the MFM32 total score. The MFM32 measures motor function abilities that relate to daily functions. The total MFM32 score is expressed as a percentage (range: 0 to 100) of the maximum possible score, with higher scores indicating greater motor function. Another key secondary endpoint was the Revised Upper Limb Module (RULM). The RULM is a tool used to assess motor performance of the upper limb in SMA patients. It tests proximal and distal motor functions of the arm. The total score ranges from 0 (all the items cannot be performed) to 37 (all the activities are achieved fully without any compensatory maneuvers).
Study 2 Part 2 enrolled 180 non-ambulatory patients with Type 2 (71%) or Type 3 (29%) SMA. Patients were randomized 2:1 to receive EVRYSDI at the recommended dosage [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)] or placebo. Randomization was stratified by age group (2 to 5, 6 to 11, 12 to 17, or 18 to 25 years of age).
The median age of patients at the start of treatment was 9.0 years (range: 2 to 25), and the median time between onset of initial SMA symptoms and first treatment was 102.6 months (range: 1 to 275). Of the 180 patients included in the trial, 51% were female, 67% were Caucasian, and 19% were Asian. At baseline, 67% of patients had scoliosis (32% of them with severe scoliosis). Patients had a mean baseline MFM32 score of 46.1, and RULM score of 20.1. Overall baseline demographic characteristics were reasonably balanced between the treatment groups (EVRYSDI and placebo), with the exception of scoliosis (63% in the EVRYSDI arm vs. 73% in the placebo group).
The primary analysis on the change from baseline in MFM32 total score at Month 12 showed a clinically meaningful and statistically significant difference between patients treated with EVRYSDI and placebo. The results of the primary analysis and key secondary endpoints are shown in Table 4 and Figure 1.

12.2 Pharmacodynamics
In clinical trials for infantile-onset SMA and later-onset SMA patients, EVRYSDI led to an increase in SMN protein with a greater than 2-fold median change from baseline within 4 weeks of treatment initiation across all SMA types studied. The increase was sustained throughout the treatment period (of at least 24 months).
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetics of EVRYSDI have been characterized in healthy adult subjects and in patients with SMA.
After administration of EVRYSDI as an oral solution, pharmacokinetics of risdiplam were approximately linear between 0.6 and 18 mg in a single-ascending-dose study in healthy adult subjects, and between 0.02 and 0.25 mg/kg once daily in a multiple-ascending-dose study in patients with SMA. Following once-daily oral administration of risdiplam in healthy subjects, approximately 3-fold accumulation of peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) and area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC0-24h) was observed. Risdiplam exposures reach steady state 7 to 14 days after once daily administration. EVRYSDI tablet (swallowed whole or dispersed in water) demonstrated comparable bioavailability to EVRYSDI for oral solution in adult healthy volunteers under fasted and fed states.
2.1 Dosing Information
EVRYSDI is administered orally once daily with or without food at approximately the same time each day. The recommended dosage is determined by age and body weight (see Table 1). EVRYSDI tablets are available for patients prescribed the 5 mg dose.
| Age and Body Weight | Recommended Daily Dosage | Dosage Form |
|---|---|---|
| Less than 2 months of age | 0.15 mg/kg | EVRYSDI for Oral Solution |
| 2 months to less than 2 years of age | 0.2 mg/kg | |
| 2 years of age and older weighing less than 20 kg | 0.25 mg/kg | |
| 2 years of age and older weighing 20 kg or more | 5 mg | EVRYSDI for Oral Solution or EVRYSDI Tablet |
1 Indications and Usage (1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE)
EVRYSDI is indicated for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) in pediatric and adult patients.
12.1 Mechanism of Action
Risdiplam is a survival of motor neuron 2 (SMN2) splicing modifier designed to treat patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) caused by mutations in chromosome 5q that lead 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.
In vitro and in vivo data indicate that risdiplam may cause alternative splicing of additional genes, including FOXM1 and MADD. FOXM1 and MADD are thought to be involved in cell cycle regulation and apoptosis, respectively, and have been identified as possible contributors to adverse effects seen in animals.
14.1 Infantile Onset Sma (14.1 Infantile-Onset SMA)
Study 1 was an open-label, 2-part study to investigate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of EVRYSDI for oral solution in patients with Type 1 SMA (symptom onset between 28 days and 3 months of age). All patients had genetic confirmation of homozygous deletion or compound heterozygosity predictive of loss of function of the SMN1 gene, and two SMN2 gene copies.
Part 1 of Study 1 was designed as a dose-finding study. Part 2 of Study 1 assessed the safety and efficacy of EVRYSDI at 0.20 mg/kg, the recommended dose determined in Part 1 [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)]. Patients from Part 1 did not take part in Part 2.
A total of 62 patients with symptomatic Type 1 SMA were enrolled in FIREFISH Part 1 (n = 21) and Part 2 (n = 41), of which 58 patients received the recommended dosage [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)]. The median age of onset of clinical signs and symptoms was 1.5 months (range: 0.9 to 3.0 months). The median age at enrollment was 5.6 months (range: 2.2 to 6.9 months), and the median time between onset of symptoms and the first dose was 3.7 months (range 1.0 to 6.0 months). Of these patients, 60% were female, 57% were Caucasian, and 29% were Asian. The demographics and baseline disease characteristics were comparable between Part 1 and Part 2 of the study.
Effectiveness was established based on the ability to sit without support for at least 5 seconds (as measured by Item 22 of the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development – Third Edition (BSID-III) gross motor scale) and on the basis of survival without permanent ventilation. Permanent ventilation was defined as requiring a tracheostomy or more than 21 consecutive days of either non-invasive ventilation (≥ 16 hours per day) or intubation, in the absence of an acute reversible event.
The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients with the ability to sit without support for at least 5 seconds (BSID-III gross motor scale, Item 22) after 12 months of treatment in Part 2; 29% of patients (n = 12/41) achieved this milestone.
Other efficacy endpoints of EVRYSDI-treated patients in Study 1 (pooled Part 1 and Part 2) are shown in Table 3.
| Efficacy Endpoints | Proportion of Patients Parts 1 & 2 at Month 12 | Proportion of Patients Parts 1 & 2 at Month 24 |
|---|---|---|
| Motor Function and Development Milestones | N = 58 Results were pooled from all patients who received the recommended dose of risdiplam (all patients in Part 2 and those in the high-dose cohort of Part 1; n = 58).
|
|
| BSID-III, Item 22: sitting without support for at least 5 seconds | 32.8% | 60.3% |
| Survival and Event-Free Survival | N = 62 Results were pooled from all patients who received any dose of risdiplam in Part 1 and Part 2 (n = 62).
|
|
| Alive without Permanent Ventilation | 87.1% | 83.8% |
At Month 24, 40% (23/58) of patients who received the recommended dose achieved sitting without support for 30 seconds (BSID-III, Item 26). In addition at Month 24, patients continued to achieve additional motor milestones; 28% (16/58) of patients achieved a standing measure (16% [9/58] supporting weight and 12% [7/58] standing with support), as measured by Section 2 of the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE-2) which assesses motor milestones.
The proportion of patients alive without permanent ventilation (event-free survival) was 84% for all patients at Month 24 (Table 3). Out of 62 patients, 6 infants died (4 within the first 3 months following study enrollment) and one additional patient withdrew from treatment and died 3.5 months later. Four patients required permanent ventilation by Month 24. These results indicate a clinically meaningful deviation from the natural history of untreated infantile-onset SMA. As described in the natural history of untreated infantile-onset SMA, patients would not be expected to attain the ability to sit independently, and no more than 25% of these patients would be expected to survive without permanent ventilation beyond 14 months of age.
14.3 Pre Symptomatic Sma (14.3 Pre-Symptomatic SMA)
Study 3 was an open-label, single-arm, multicenter clinical study to investigate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of EVRYSDI in infants up to 6 weeks of age (at first dose) who have been genetically diagnosed with SMA but do not yet present with symptoms.
The efficacy in pre-symptomatic SMA patients was evaluated at Month 12 in 26 patients treated with EVRYSDI in Study 3: 8 patients had 2 copies of the SMN2 gene, 13 patients had 3 copies, and 5 patients had 4 or more copies. The median age of these patients at first dose was 25 days (range: 16 to 41), 62% were female, and 85% were Caucasian. The primary efficacy population (N = 5) included patients with 2 SMN2 copies and a baseline CMAP amplitude ≥1.5 mV.
The primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of patients with the ability to sit without support for at least 5 seconds (BSID-III gross motor scale, Item 22) at Month 12. This milestone was achieved by 80% (4/5) of patients in the primary efficacy population. This milestone was also achieved by 87.5% (7/8) of all patients with 2 copies of SMN2 and 96.2% (25/26) of patients in the full treated population.
At Month 12, 80.8% (21/26) of patients in the full treated population achieved sitting without support for 30 seconds (BSID-III, Item 26). Of the 26 patients treated with EVRYSDI, 25 patients had motor milestones measured by the HINE-2 at Month 12. Of these, 24 (96%) achieved sitting (23 patients could pivot/rotate and 1 achieved stable sit); 21 (84%) could stand (13 patients could stand unaided and 8 could stand with support); and 12 (48%) could walk independently. Seven patients were not tested for walking at Month 12. All 26 patients were alive at 12 months without permanent ventilation.

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
In clinical trials including patients with infantile-onset SMA, later-onset SMA, and pre-symptomatic SMA, a total of 491 patients (51% female, 74% Caucasian) were exposed to EVRYSDI for up to a median duration of 48.1 months (range: 0.6 to 63.4 months), with 231 patients receiving treatment for more than 24 months. At the time of first EVRYSDI dose, 90 (18%) patients were 18 years and older, 119 (24%) were 12 years to less than 18 years, 189 (39%) were 2 years to less than 12 years, 67 (14%) 2 months to less than 2 years, and 26 (5%) were less than 2 months.
