Biogen presents Phase 1b salanersen data showing 75% NfL reductions in children with SMA after gene therapy

Biogen reported additional Phase 1b results for salanersen, a once-yearly antisense oligonucleotide for spinal muscular atrophy $(SMA)$, in children who previously received onasemnogene abeparvovec-xioi. The results were presented at the 2026 MDA Clinical & Scientific Conference and are also planned for presentation at the 5th International Scientific Congress on SMA (SMA Europe 2026). In the Phase 1b analysis (n=24; ages 0.5–12 years), participants with elevated baseline neurofilament light chain showed 75% reductions at six months that were sustained through follow-up. Biogen also outlined a Phase 3 program evaluating once-yearly salanersen 80 mg across three global studies: STELLAR-1, STELLAR-2, and SOLAR. STELLAR-1 has initiated screening, with SOLAR planned to initiate in Q2 2026 and STELLAR-2 in Q3 2026.
