The safety profile is consistent with standard care, and data support continued enrollment in the upcoming Phase 2/3 COMPASS study. Denali also plans to submit an IND application for its second investigational therapy, DNL126, aimed at MPS IIIA.
Denali Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: DNLI) announced key presentations at the 19th Annual WORLD Symposium from February 22-26, 2023, in Orlando, Florida. The focus will be on DNL310 (ETV:IDS) for treating MPS II (Hunter syndrome) and DNL126 (ETV:SGSH) for MPS IIIA (Sanfilippo syndrome type A). Presentations will cover interim clinical data from the Phase 2/3 COMPASS study and preclinical data for DNL126. DNL310 is being evaluated in a global study to address multiple symptoms of Hunter syndrome, and it has received Fast Track and Priority Medicines designations from regulatory authorities. Both therapies aim to provide critical treatment advancements for patients with neurodegenerative lysosomal storage diseases.
Denali Therapeutics (DNLI) announced a significant milestone as its partner, Sanofi, has begun dosing in a Phase 2 clinical trial of SAR443820 (DNL788) for multiple sclerosis. This trial follows the successful Phase 1 trial, which showed robust target engagement and CNS penetration. Denali will receive a $25 million milestone payment from Sanofi for the trial's initiation. SAR443820 aims to address inflammation and cell death in neurodegenerative diseases, and is part of a broader RIPK1 inhibitor program. The collaboration also includes other treatments for diseases such as ALS and Alzheimer's.
Denali Therapeutics announced significant advancements in its clinical portfolio, showcasing progress in four late-stage programs for MPS II, ALS, and Parkinson's disease.
