Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Time to Confirmed Worsening in Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Parts II and III Combined Score Over the Treatment Period
Up to Week 144

Time to confirmed worsening is defined as a worsening event sustained over 2 consecutive assessments. MDS-UPDRS is a multimodal scale assessing impairment and disability consisting of 4 parts. Part II assesses motor experiences of daily living (Range 0-52). It contains 13 questions which are to be completed by the participant. Part III assesses the motor signs of PD and is administered by the rater (Range 0-132). Part III contains 33 scores based on 18 items. For each question a numeric score is assigned between 0-4, where 0 = Normal, 1 = Slight, 2 = Mild, 3 = Moderate, 4 = Severe. MDS-UPDRS Part II and III combined score equals the sum of Parts II and III (Range 0-184). A higher score indicates more severe symptoms of PD.

Frequently asked questions about DNL151

What is DNL151?

DNL151 is an investigational small molecule drug being developed by Biogen Inc. for Parkinson's disease. It is designed to inhibit LRRK2, a gene-linked target implicated in the disease. DNL151 has completed a Phase 1 clinical trial and is not approved for any indication.

What is DNL151 used for in Parkinson's disease?

DNL151 is being studied as a potential treatment for Parkinson's disease. It is an oral small molecule that targets LRRK2. The drug has been evaluated in a Phase 1 trial in participants with Parkinson's disease, but it is not yet approved for clinical use.

What does DNL151 target?

DNL151 targets LRRK2, a gene associated with Parkinson's disease. By inhibiting LRRK2 activity, the drug aims to modulate a pathway implicated in the disease. LRRK2 is a validated genetic target in Parkinson's research, and DNL151 is a small molecule inhibitor of this target.

Who makes DNL151?

DNL151 is being developed by Biogen Inc., a biotechnology company traded on the Nasdaq under the ticker BIIB. Biogen is responsible for the clinical development of DNL151 for Parkinson's disease.

What phase is DNL151 in?

DNL151 is in Phase 1 clinical development. It has completed one Phase 1 trial in Parkinson'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 DNL151 in?

DNL151 has been evaluated in a Phase 1 clinical trial, NCT04056689, titled "Study to Evaluate DNL151 in Subjects With Parkinson's Disease." The trial was completed and enrolled 36 participants across the United States, Belgium, Netherlands, and United Kingdom. It was randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled.
