Basel, 04 June 2025 – The relentless battle against Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a severe, progressive disease that steals strength and can be fatal1, 4, has a new, powerful ally. In a landmark decision, the European Commission has approved Roche's Evrysdi in a revolutionary tablet form – the first and only tablet specifically for SMA in Europe1, 3, 5. This isn't just a new pill; it's a beacon of hope, offering newfound freedom and simplicity to thousands.
Imagine a life where daily treatment for a debilitating condition no longer dictates every move. The new 5mg Evrysdi tablet, stable at room temperature, shatters old limitations. It can be swallowed whole or dispersed in water, with or without food, liberating patients and their families from the constraints of refrigeration and complex administration1, 4, 7. This innovation represents "progress toward more versatile SMA disease management," as Roche’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Levi Garraway, stated, building on Evrysdi's proven power to significantly improve the course of this cruel disease for over 18,000 people worldwide1, 5.
For those fighting SMA, where every day is a challenge, this "at-home, non-invasive" champion1 means more than just medical advancement; it means a chance at greater independence. As Nicole Gusset of SMA Europe emphasized, options that "simplify disease management and care" are paramount1. Backed by studies demonstrating bioequivalence to the original life-changing oral solution4, 7, this tiny tablet carries immense power, transforming the landscape of SMA treatment and offering a brighter, more manageable future.
