Participants will be randomized to receive oral BIIB122 or placebo once daily.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMutations in the\u00a0LRRK2\u00a0gene comprise the most frequent mutations found in Parkinson\u2019s disease, indicating that LRRK2 inhibition may be a promising therapeutic approach to the disease,\u201d said Samantha Budd Haeberlein, Ph.D., Head of Neurodegeneration Development at Biogen. \u201cThe LIGHTHOUSE study will specifically recruit individuals with a pathogenic mutation in LRRK2, enabling us to test the genetic hypothesis and implicated lysosomal pathway. The LIGHTHOUSE study is the largest study ever undertaken in individuals with Parkinson\u2019s disease caused by a LRKK2 mutation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>BIIB122 is an investigational small molecule inhibitor of LRRK2 that was discovered and initially developed by Denali. Denali and Biogen are co-developing and co-commercializing BIIB122 for the potential treatment of Parkinson\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn collaboration with Biogen, we are excited to be pursuing the potential of LRRK2 inhibition as an effective treatment for Parkinson\u2019s disease,\u201d said Carole Ho, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Denali. \u201cThe initiation of the Phase 3 LIGHTHOUSE study marks an important milestone in the BIIB122 development program. Together with the recent initiation of the Phase 2b LUMA study in early-stage Parkinson\u2019s disease, we hope to have the opportunity to bring a novel therapeutic option to people living with Parkinson\u2019s disease.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More information about LIGHTHOUSE (NCT05418673) is available at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=xh06a5SOnTABlnhemPnND1hCmUNw_IfaYtWD4cFfoyGFEpQCxNyGd2q0hmORTfTkYfy6rO-QqZYwpQmyTooQSn259XRISQpsYZSTnFN_OfjYoseEU8hnCFV94fhXFEmAxYsp6UmhEkoMZhzIBd0PmqQGxhC_nB1IgiNWGVtoyUM=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ClinicalTrials.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About LRRK2 and BIIB122<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Following discovery of the LRRK2 mutation as a pathogenic genetic factor for Parkinson\u2019s disease, further research has uncovered that it has the potential to be a novel therapeutic target for Parkinson\u2019s disease. Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) account for 4-5% of familial and 1-2% of sporadic Parkinson\u2019s disease.<sup>1,2<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>BIIB122 is a selective, central nervous system-penetrant small molecule inhibitor of LRRK2 that is hypothesized to improve lysosomal dysfunction. BIIB122 is an investigational drug that is not approved by any regulatory authority, and its safety and efficacy have not been established.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Biogen<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>As pioneers in neuroscience, Biogen discovers, develops, and delivers worldwide innovative therapies for people living with serious neurological diseases as well as related therapeutic adjacencies. One of the world\u2019s first global biotechnology companies, Biogen was founded in 1978 by Charles Weissmann, Heinz Schaller, Sir Kenneth Murray, and Nobel Prize winners Walter Gilbert and Phillip Sharp. Today, Biogen has a leading portfolio of medicines to treat multiple sclerosis, has introduced the first approved treatment for spinal muscular atrophy, and developed the first and only approved treatment to address a defining pathology of Alzheimer\u2019s disease. Biogen is also commercializing biosimilars and focusing on advancing one of the industry\u2019s most diversified pipelines in neuroscience that will transform the standard of care for patients in several areas of high unmet need.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, Biogen launched a bold 20-year, $250 million initiative to address the deeply interrelated issues of climate, health, and equity. Healthy Climate, Healthy Lives\u2122 aims to eliminate fossil fuels across the company\u2019s operations, build collaborations with renowned institutions to advance the science to improve human health outcomes, and support underserved communities.<\/p>\n<p>We routinely post information that may be important to investors on our website at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=IZNWhieT2C388jtbxsxXTv9g3xDDW-FKzbdEVy98q6Oia5samwZMSdJGzCvibVfhQsZ-4LgjKgx0v0zautBsGg==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.biogen.com<\/a>.\u00a0Follow us on social media\u00a0&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=b2uZ_tVU_DM_LL75epCpTpFexjw-e5ZQcL6U1KwHuWJAxmWcFaiMmXO5snKTSWQ6q6DfwQpP53IphUrftAXvfQ==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=MBkybT5pyNLBjMjO0qhZ-noY-5F49twVBTpgZqb0Ls4yK9M7A8rZ8yxL5K6ifsceZ4ygHuAEMvWegnqTsOab7TDiMdInuW9ApV-VxLElMKw=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=YHidL3L8vdfODLV8Ae_kb4zbX2Xcyp4uCiFuDKVMafENwN_8izwApTqM2T6ljTYZK3pQYByn5DnvXRFWd6rOGA==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=d-C9iDrlLNefhTxB4z8wHj27epOxGcjSGi-NBaMmufEPxabsaNJvPQVP-8yj8C3zhW_cHwl-LZsS6GlzNfiw5w==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Denali Therapeutics<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Denali Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical company developing a broad portfolio of product candidates engineered to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) for neurodegenerative diseases.
