Biohaven reported mixed results from its RESILIENT SMA study of taldefgrobep alfa. While the treatment showed clinically meaningful improvements in motor function, it did not achieve statistical significance at Week 48 compared to placebo. However, positive results were observed in specific subgroups, particularly among Caucasian patients (87% of study population) and those with measurable baseline myostatin levels. The drug demonstrated significant effects on body composition, including reduced fat mass (p=0.008) and increased lean muscle mass. Based on these results, Biohaven plans to advance taldefgrobep into a Phase 2 obesity study in Q4 2024. The treatment was well-tolerated with no serious adverse events.

Biohaven (NYSE: BHVN) has initiated a pivotal Phase 2 trial evaluating BHV-2100 for the acute treatment of migraine. BHV-2100 is a potential first-in-class, orally administered Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin-3 (TRPM3) antagonist, a novel and non-opioid investigational treatment for migraine and other pain disorders.
The trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study assessing the efficacy and safety of two doses (75 mg and 150 mg) of BHV-2100. It will enroll approximately 575 patients across 60 sites in the United States. The study aims to support registration with FDA-accepted coprimary endpoints of pain freedom and freedom from most bothersome symptom at 2 hours.
BHV-2100 demonstrated excellent safety and tolerability in Phase 1 trials, with rapid absorption and sustained concentrations. Biohaven aims to address the unmet needs of migraine patients, including those who do not respond to existing therapies, estimated to be about one-third of the 40 million patients in the US.
