CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Biogen Inc. (Nasdaq: BIIB) today announced new data that reinforce the clinical impact of nusinersen across a broad spectrum of individuals affected by spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). These latest findings from Part C of the DEVOTE trial evaluating a higher dose regimen of nusinersen and the NURTURE trial which evaluated the approved 12 mg regimen (SPINRAZA®) in clinically presymptomatic SMA were presented at the SMA Research & Clinical Care Meeting hosted by Cure SMA in Anaheim, Calif. Biogen's applications for the higher dose regimen of nusinersen are currently under review in the U.S., Europe, Japan and other global markets. The higher dose regimen of nusinersen comprises a more rapid loading regimen – two 50 mg doses 14 days apart – and a higher maintenance regimen – 28 mg every four months.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Biogen Inc. (Nasdaq: BIIB) announced topline results from the Phase 1 study of salanersen (BIIB115/ION306), an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) being developed for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Leveraging the same mechanism of action as SPINRAZA (nusinersen) but designed to achieve greater potency, salanersen has the potential to achieve high efficacy and enable once yearly dosing. An interim analysis of the Phase 1 study in participants with SMA who were previously treated with gene therapy was conducted to inform the decision on whether to move salanersen forward into registrational studies. Both dose levels tested, 40 mg and 80 mg, given once a year, were generally well-tolerated and led to substantial slowing of neurodegeneration, as shown by reductions in neurofilament. Exploratory clinical outcome data shows clinically meaningful improvements in function and attainment of new World Health Organization (WHO) milestones over 1 year. These data will be presented today at the SMA Research & Clinical Care Meeting hosted by Cure SMA in Anaheim, Calif.
Biogen is an intriguing stock that occupies one of the leading positions in the central nervous system therapeutic market.
