Shares of Denali Therapeutics on Friday fell after the company said the Phase 2 Himalaya study to treat patients with its amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) with an oral brain-penetrant inhibitor missed the primary endpoint.
In recent trading, shares were down 7.4% to $17.01. The stock has dropped 22% since the beginning of the year, and 45% in the past 12 months.
The biotechnology company said the SAR443820/DNL788 inhibitor, co-developed with Sanofi, didn’t meet the endpoint of change in ALS functional rating scale-revised.
Sanofi will continue to conduct the K2 Phase 2 study of SAR443820/DNL788 in participants with multiple sclerosis.
