Treatment of spinal muscular atrophy using alk4:actriib antagonists
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11857599B2) outlines a method for treating spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) in patients by administering a recombinant ALK4:ActRIIB heteromultimer. This treatment involves the use of ALK4-Fc fusion protein and ActRIIB-Fc fusion protein, each containing specific amino acid sequences and Fc domain polypeptides. The method aims to prevent or reduce the severity of complications associated with SMA, such as muscle weakness, respiratory issues, bone loss, and developmental delays.
Furthermore, the patent details various aspects of the treatment method, including its application in patients with SMA3, its potential to increase bone mineral density and muscle mass, and its ability to improve motor function and milestones. The method also allows for the administration of additional active agents or supportive therapies alongside the recombinant heteromultimer, such as nusinersen or other treatments targeting SMA. The patent emphasizes the importance of specific amino acid sequences and fusion protein compositions in achieving the desired therapeutic effects, highlighting the precision and specificity of the proposed treatment approach for SMA patients.
