The latest update is out from BioArctic AB Class B ( ($SE:BIOA.B) ).

Eisai, BioArctic’s long-standing partner, has submitted a Marketing Authorisation Variation to the European Medicines Agency to allow a once-every-four-weeks intravenous maintenance dosing regimen for Alzheimer’s drug Leqembi (lecanemab), following an initial 18‑month period of biweekly infusions in patients with early-stage disease. The move, which aligns the EU regimen with maintenance dosing already approved in major markets such as the U.S., U.K. and China and complements a growing portfolio of subcutaneous formulations and ongoing late-stage trials, underscores BioArctic’s strengthening position in disease-modifying Alzheimer’s therapies and could expand treatment convenience and uptake, bolstering future royalty and milestone revenue potential for the Swedish biotech as it prepares joint commercialization with Eisai in the Nordic region.

The most recent analyst rating on ($SE:BIOA.B) stock is a Buy with a SEK387.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on BioArctic AB Class B stock, see the SE:BIOA.B Stock Forecast page.
