Biogen Inc. (BIIB) is conducting a Phase 3 clinical study titled A Long-Term Extension Study to Learn More About the Safety of Litifilimab (BIIB059) Injections and Whether They Can Improve Symptoms of Adult Participants Who Have Active Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus. The study aims to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of litifilimab in adults with active subacute or chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE), particularly those unresponsive or intolerant to antimalarial therapy.
The intervention being tested is litifilimab (BIIB059), administered as a subcutaneous injection every four weeks. This drug is designed to improve symptoms in participants with CLE, potentially offering a new treatment avenue for those who have not benefited from existing therapies.
This open-label, single-arm study involves all participants receiving the same treatment, with no masking, to primarily assess treatment effects. The main goal is to ensure the safety and effectiveness of litifilimab over an extended period.
The study began on October 3, 2023, with an estimated completion date set for August 5, 2025. These timelines are crucial for tracking progress and assessing interim results, which could influence future treatment protocols.
Biogen’s update on this study could positively impact its stock performance, as successful results may lead to a new marketable treatment for CLE, enhancing investor confidence. This development is particularly significant in the competitive biopharmaceutical industry, where innovation is key to maintaining market position.
The study is currently ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
