Biogen (NASDAQ:BIIB) said data from its Phase 2 CELIA study of diranersen in early Alzheimer’s disease provide proof of concept for the tau-targeting therapy, despite the trial not meeting its primary endpoint of demonstrating a predefined dose-response pattern. The company presented the update dur

Biogen’s mid-stage trial of diranersen did not meet its main goal of showing a clear relationship between higher doses and better results.

The presentation on Biogen’s experimental Alzheimer’s treatment at a medical meeting Tuesday was supposed to boost confidence in its drug’s prospects. Instead, Biogen stock is down 6%, to $197. Tuesday’s presentation on the drug diranersen, at London’s Alzheimer’s Association International Conference, left attendees confused about what to conclude from Biogen’s Phase 2 study known as CELIA.

Biogen stock was down more than 8% Tuesday—on pace for its largest drop since 2020—after the company's experimental Alzheimer's drug failed to perform better on a key measure than drugs already on the market. On a standard dementia scale, patients taking Biogen’s experimental drug diranersen saw a 26% slowing in the rate of cognitive decline, roughly in line with the company’s drug Leqembi. Diranersen, which failed to meet its primary goal in a clinical trial in May, did succeed in cutting a protein called tau in patients' spinal fluid by as much as 65%, according to data presented Tuesday at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference.

Investing.com -- Biogen Inc. (NASDAQ:BIIB) shares fell nearly 9% following the Phase 2 CELIA readout of its highly anticipated Alzheimer’s therapy, diranersen. While the drug achieved a major scientific milestone by robustly clearing tau pathology, an unexpected inverse dose response—where the lowest dose performed the best—left Wall Street analysts confused and triggered a sell-off. Diranersen missed its primary endpoint: proving a dose-dependent response on the CDR-SB, a key measure of cogniti

Eisai and Biogen recently received FDA approval for LEQEMBI IQLIK, a once-weekly subcutaneous autoinjector initiation dose that allows adults with early Alzheimer’s disease to start and continue treatment at home instead of relying solely on intravenous infusions in clinics. This at-home option, supported by data showing exposure equivalent to IV dosing and high ease-of-use ratings from patients and care partners, could meaningfully change how Alzheimer’s therapies are delivered and accessed...
