    On June 3, according to foreign media reports, Roche’s oral spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) drug Evrysdi was too expensive to be approved by the UK drug price regulator.


    NICE stated that SMA is a progressive neuromuscular disease that affects the spinal nerves that control movement.


    Nevertheless, the agency recognizes that oral administration of Evrysdi makes it a better choice for some patients.


    NICE currently recommends Spinraza for pre-symptomatic SMA patients or patients with type 1, 2 or 3 disease.


    The agency's decision may trigger further discussion.
