Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

CNS Biodistribution of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-Diranersen Assessed as the Percentage of Dose Taken up by Each Region of Interest (ROI)
Post-dose on Days 1, 2, 5, and 8

CNS biodistribution of \[89Zr\]Zr-DFO-Diranersen will be measured using the Positron Emission tomography (PET) imaging. The mean radioactive counts per voxel will be measured. These counts will be converted to the percentage of dose that is taken up by each ROI (% of injected tracer dose per gram of tissue) to quantify the biodistribution in measurable tissues and CSF spaces at relative distances from the lumbar injection using quantitative scaling algorithms.

Secondary Endpoints

Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Up to 197 days
Dosimetry: Dose of Radiation Absorbed as Measured by PET Imaging Test
Post-dose on Days 1, 2, 5, and 8

Frequently asked questions about Zr-DFO-Diranersen

What is Zr-DFO-Diranersen?

Zr-DFO-Diranersen is a radiolabeled imaging agent built from diranersen, an antisense oligonucleotide developed by Biogen. It combines diranersen with a zirconium-89 radiolabel and was studied in a Phase 1 trial to determine biodistribution, safety, and tolerability when given as a microdose alongside diranersen in healthy adult volunteers.

What is Zr-DFO-Diranersen used for?

Zr-DFO-Diranersen was studied as a research imaging agent to show where diranersen distributes in the body. Its single Phase 1 trial enrolled healthy adult volunteers in the United States and assessed biodistribution, safety, and tolerability of a microdose co-administered with diranersen. No patient indication has been disclosed for this radiolabeled agent.

What does Zr-DFO-Diranersen target?

Zr-DFO-Diranersen carries diranersen, an antisense oligonucleotide whose target class is described as -sen (ASO). The zirconium-89 label allows imaging of the distribution of the antisense oligonucleotide rather than a therapeutic effect. The specific molecular target of diranersen is not disclosed in the available program information.

Who is developing Zr-DFO-Diranersen?

Zr-DFO-Diranersen is being developed by Biogen Inc., which trades on Nasdaq under the ticker BIIB. Biogen is the sponsor of the single Phase 1 study of the radiolabeled agent, which was conducted in the United States in healthy adult volunteers.

What phase is Zr-DFO-Diranersen in?

Zr-DFO-Diranersen has been studied in a Phase 1 clinical trial, which is now completed. It is an investigational agent and is not approved by the FDA. The trial was an uncontrolled, non-randomized study with five enrolled participants.

What clinical trial is Zr-DFO-Diranersen in?

Zr-DFO-Diranersen was evaluated in one clinical trial, NCT06454721, titled a study to determine the biodistribution, safety, and tolerability of a microdose of radiolabeled diranersen (BIIB080) co-administered with diranersen in healthy adults. The Phase 1 trial enrolled five healthy volunteers in the United States and is completed.

Is Zr-DFO-Diranersen the same as [89Zr]Zr-DFO-Diranersen?

Yes. Zr-DFO-Diranersen is also known as [89Zr]Zr-DFO-Diranersen. The bracketed form names the zirconium-89 radionuclide used in the chelator DFO, so both names refer to the same radiolabeled antisense oligonucleotide imaging agent developed by Biogen.
