Frequently asked questions about BIIB037

What is BIIB037 used for?

BIIB037 is being developed for Alzheimer's Disease. It is an investigational therapy that has been studied in a Phase 1 clinical trial in participants with Alzheimer's Disease. Biogen Inc. is the developer. The drug has not been approved for any indication and remains in clinical development.

What does BIIB037 target?

BIIB037 targets beta-amyloid, a protein that accumulates in the brains of people with Alzheimer's Disease. By binding to beta-amyloid, the drug is designed to interfere with the amyloid pathway. This mechanism is being explored as a potential approach to treating Alzheimer's Disease.

Who is developing BIIB037?

BIIB037 is being developed by Biogen Inc., which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker BIIB. Biogen is a biotechnology company focused on neurological and neurodegenerative diseases. The company has conducted clinical research on BIIB037 in Alzheimer's Disease.

What phase is BIIB037 in?

BIIB037 is in Phase 1 clinical development. It has completed one Phase 1 trial in participants with Alzheimer's Disease. The drug is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA or any other regulatory agency for any indication.

What clinical trials is BIIB037 in?

BIIB037 has been studied in a single Phase 1 trial, NCT01397539, titled Single Ascending Dose Study of BIIB037 in Participants With Alzheimer's Disease. The trial was completed, enrolled 53 participants, and was randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled. It was conducted in the United States.
