Biogen(BIIB) is currently dealing with various challenges such as lower-than-expected revenue growth, a decline in their regular drug portfolio, securities law violations, and competitive challenges in the industry. The company's recent announcement of top-line Phase 1/2 study results of an investigational drug in ALS sparks interest, but was shadowed by setbacks like discontinuing the experimental ALS drug with Ionis. Notably, Biogen is attempting to expand its rare disease pipeline by acquiring HI-Bio and garnered approval for the rare disease drug Qalsody in the EU. The company also received FDA acceptance for their joint Leqembi sBLA with Eisai. Plunging stock prices pose a concern, yet interestingly, new data from Biogen's Investigational Antisense Oligonucleotide (ASO) targeting Tau shows potential for early Alzheimer's treatment. Finally, despite a shaky financial performance, Biogen's Q1 profit exceeded estimates due to improved Alzheimer's drug uptake and cost-cutting hold, and gained a positive opinion for SKYCLA YS® (omaveloxolone) from CHMP.
