On Friday the FDA approved a new gene therapy drug, Zolgensma, “a one-time treatment designed to help young children with spinal muscular atrophy.”
“Around 10,000 to 25,000 U.S. children and adults are estimated to have the disease, which occurs in one of every 6,000 to 10,000 births. Patients rarely live into adulthood.”
Because a dose of the drug has to be genetically tailored for each individual patient, Zolgemsa costs $2.1 million per treatment, making it the most expensive drug in the world.
