Congratulations Dr. Nikolaus McFarland on the publication of “Safety of the tau-directed monoclonal antibody BIIB092 in progressive supranuclear palsy: a randomised, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose phase 1b trial,” in the June edition of The Lancet Neurology.
Background
Progressive supranuclear palsy is a rare neurodegenerative disease associated with dysfunctional tau protein. BIIB092 is a humanised monoclonal antibody that binds to N-terminal tau and is thus being assessed as a potential novel treatment for progressive supranuclear palsy. We aimed to investigate the safety and tolerability of BIIB092 in individuals with progressive supranuclear palsy.
