Analyst Recommendations for Biogen and Its Peers in August
On July 25, Biogen (BIIB) and Eisai announced positive results from the Phase 2 study evaluating BAN2401, an investigational anti-amyloid-beta (or Aβ) protofibril antibody, in early Alzheimer’s disease (or AD) indication after 18 months of therapy. The patients also included those suffering from AD-related mild cognitive impairment as well as those with mild AD. The results from the Phase 2 trial seem to validate beta-amyloid as a potential target for treating Alzheimer’s disease.
