Biogen registers Phase 2 felzartamab trial in IgA nephropathy

A new kidney biopsy study joins Biogen's ongoing ALS trial and a recently posted Friedreich's Ataxia natural history study.

Biogen's clinicaltrials.gov activity spans three separate registrations and updates posted between October 2 and October 22, 2026.

  • Biogen has registered a Phase 2 open-label study of felzartamab in IgA nephropathy (NCT07889362, sponsor study ID 299GN201-IgAN), first posted October 22, 2026. The primary objective is to evaluate the effects of felzartamab on immunoglobulin A deposition in the kidney by immunofluorescence.1 The study is listed as not yet recruiting, with enrollment estimated at 25 participants1 and an estimated start date of November 16, 2026.
  • Biogen's ALS trial of BIIB147, known as HORIZON (NCT07855211), was first posted October 2, 2026 and last updated October 19, 2026. The study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multiple ascending dose study with an open-label extension evaluating safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of BIIB147 administered intrathecally to adult participants with ALS.2 The study remains listed as recruiting, with enrollment estimated at 69 participants across Phase 1 and Phase 2.2
  • Biogen's observational study of Friedreich's Ataxia in the Gulf Cooperation Council region (NCT07887828, sponsor study ID SA-FRA-12346) was first posted October 21, 2026. The primary objective is to describe the natural history and participant experience of disease for participants with Friedreich's Ataxia in a real-world setting, with secondary objectives to estimate FRDA frequency in GCC countries and further characterize the participant population.3 The study is listed as not yet recruiting, with enrollment estimated at 40 participants3.
