Biogen (Nasdaq: BIIB) and Stoke Therapeutics published final two-year natural history data from the BUTTERFLY study in Neurology on November 14, 2025, describing disease course in children and adolescents (ages 2–18) with Dravet syndrome.
Key findings: neurodevelopment plateaued at a developmental age of ~2 years regardless of entry age, creating a widening gap versus typical development; major motor seizure frequency rose 10.6% over two years (baseline 14.3 seizures/28 days; p=0.63; n=23). Study used pre-specified adaptive and cognitive measures aligned with endpoints in the Phase 3 EMPEROR trial of zorevunersen.
Biogen (Nasdaq: BIIB) announced a positive CHMP opinion recommending approval of a high dose regimen of nusinersen for 5q spinal muscular atrophy, with a final European Commission decision expected in January 2026.
The CHMP opinion is based on the Phase 2/3 DEVOTE study: Part B (n=75) showed a mean CHOP-INTEND difference of 26.19 points (+15.1 vs -11.1; p<0.0001) and a 68% reduction in risk of death or permanent ventilation versus a matched sham group. Part C (n=38) reported a HFMSE mean increase of 1.8 points at Day 302 after switching from 12 mg. Dosing: two 50 mg loading doses 14 days apart then 28 mg every 4 months (single 50 mg loading for switchers). Safety was generally consistent with known profile; common AEs included pneumonia, COVID-19, aspiration pneumonia, and malnutrition.
Biogen (Nasdaq: BIIB) completed its acquisition of Alcyone Therapeutics on Nov 14, 2025, gaining the investigational implantable drug delivery device ThecaFlex DRx™.
ThecaFlex DRx™ is designed to reduce repeat lumbar punctures for chronic intrathecal administration and has been in development since 2019 with the PIERRE and PIERRE-PK clinical studies for nusinersen (SPINRAZA®) currently underway. Biogen plans to introduce the delivery system for SPINRAZA in early 2028, contingent on successful clinical trial completion and regulatory approval. Biogen cites the acquisition as a way to combine its biopharmaceutical capabilities with device technology to potentially improve patient experience and broaden access to therapies.
Biogen (NASDAQ: BIIB) will present new clinical and translational data for felzartamab, an investigational anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, at ASN Kidney Week 2025 in Houston (Nov 5–9, 2025).
Key highlights include a first-of-its-kind longitudinal whole blood RNAseq dataset from the Phase 2 IGNAZ study linking gene expression changes to felzartamab’s mechanism in IgA nephropathy, and Phase 2 data showing preservation of humoral immunity and vaccine responses in felzartamab-treated patients. Biogen also notes three pivotal Phase 3 studies initiated in 2025, with the first readout (TRANSCEND) anticipated in 2027. Multiple oral, poster, and exhibitor presentations will cover AMR, IgAN, and primary membranous nephropathy.
