This Phase 2a, multicenter, randomized, 12-week double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study, followed by an OLE, is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamic effects of BIIB122 in participants with LRRK2-PD. LRRK2-PD is defined as Parkinson's Disease (PD) in individuals who are heterozygous or homozygous carriers of a pathogenic LRRK2 variant that increases LRRK2 kinase activity.
Phase 2 trials begin testing efficacy in a larger patient group (100–300). This is often where biotech binary events occur — positive Phase 2 data can significantly advance a company's pipeline narrative, while failures can be terminal for a program.
Enrollment is complete. The trial is in its follow-up or data collection phase — a readout may occur on or near the primary completion date.
Denali Therapeutics (DNLI) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company C (57/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
