    • FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation received for tividenofusp alfa for Hunter syndrome (MPS II); on track to submit biologics license application (BLA) in early 2025
    • Preparing for commercial launch of tividenofusp alfa for Hunter syndrome in late 2025 or early 2026
    • Enable accelerated approval pathway for DNL126 for Sanfilippo syndrome Type A (MPS IIIA)
    • Expand and advance portfolio of multiple TransportVehicleTM (TV) enabled programs for delivery of enzyme, oligonucleotide, and antibody therapeutics for rare and common diseases

    SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Jan. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Denali Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:DNLI), today announced key anticipated milestones for 2025 across its portfolio. Chief Executive Officer, Ryan Watts, Ph.D., will highlight these priorities during a corporate presentation at the 43rd Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference on Tuesday, January 14, at 11:15 a.m. PDT.

    "In 2025, we are on track to submit our first BLA for tividenofusp alfa for Hunter syndrome and prepare for commercial launch. In addition, we will seek alignment with the FDA on an accelerated approval path for our second program DNL126 for Sanfilippo syndrome. Together, we expect these two programs to be the foundation of a broad franchise of TransportVehicleTM (TV) enabled enzyme replacement therapies," said Ryan Watts, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Denali. "Further, we are expanding our TV-enabled portfolio of therapeutic enzymes, oligonucleotides, and antibodies, and plan to advance one to two additional TV programs into the clinic each year for the next three years. We are excited about the validation and broad potential of the TV platform to deliver a new class of barrier-crossing therapeutics with great potential for people living with rare and common diseases that impact the brain."

    2025 Outlook

    Denali Therapeutics has pioneered and is delivering a new class of therapeutics using its TransportVehicleTM (TV) platform to enable and transform treatment for people living with rare and common diseases that impact the brain. The TV platform is designed to deliver large molecules – enzymes (ETV), oligonucleotides (OTV), and antibodies (ATV) – across biological barriers including the blood-brain barrier, enabling broad biodistribution into targeted tissues where treatment is needed. Expected progress and key milestones in 2025 across Denali's portfolio of TV-enabled and small molecule programs are summarized below.

    CLINICAL PROGRAMS

    Tividenofusp alfa (DNL310, ETV:IDS) for Hunter syndrome (MPS II): On January 7, 2025, the FDA granted tividenofusp alfa Breakthrough Therapy Designation for Hunter syndrome (MPS II). Denali expects to submit a biologics license agreement (BLA) under the accelerated approval pathway in early 2025 and is preparing for the U.S. launch of tividenofusp alfa for the treatment of Hunter syndrome in late 2025 or early 2026. Denali is engaged in prelaunch activities including continued dialogue with prescribers and payers, building a suite of patient support services and capabilities to enable broad access, and building a right-sized team in commercial and medical affairs to support tividenofusp alfa and additional Enzyme TV (ETV) launches. The ongoing open-label extension of the Phase 1/2 study will generate long-term safety data, and the ongoing global Phase 2/3 COMPASS study will support global approval. Target enrollment of neuronopathic participants in Cohort A of the COMPASS study has been completed. In addition to Breakthrough Therapy Designation, the FDA previously granted tividenofusp alfa Fast Track Designation, Orphan Drug Designation, and Rare Pediatric Disease Designation for development in the treatment of MPS II. Additional Phase 1/2 results have been accepted for oral presentation at the 2025 WORLDSymposium conference taking place February 3-7, 2025.

    DNL126 (ETV:SGSH) for Sanfilippo syndrome Type A (MPS IIIA): Preliminary data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 study of DNL126 have demonstrated a substantial reduction in cerebrospinal fluid heparan sulfate (CSF HS) levels from baseline, including normalization. Based on these results, Denali will seek alignment with the FDA on a path for accelerated approval. DNL126 has Orphan Disease designation, Fast Track status, and has been selected for the FDA "Support for clinical Trials Advancing Rare disease Therapeutics" (START) program, designed to accelerate the development of rare disease therapeutics.

    TAK-594/DNL593 (PTV:PGRN) for GRN-related frontotemporal dementia: Data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 study of DNL593 have demonstrated dose-dependent increases in CSF progranulin levels, consistent with robust brain delivery of DNL593, in healthy volunteers. Dosing granulin (GRN)-related frontotemporal dementia (FTD-GRN) participants is ongoing.

    BIIB122/DNL151 (small molecule LRRK2 inhibitor) for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD): Denali and Biogen have a strategic collaboration to jointly develop and commercialize small molecule inhibitors of LRRK2. Biogen is conducting the global Phase 2b LUMA study, which is evaluating the ability of BIIB122 to slow disease progression as compared to placebo in approximately 640 participants with early-stage Parkinson's disease; completion of enrollment is expected in 2025. In addition, Denali is conducting the complementary Phase 2a BEACON study in LRRK2-associated Parkinson's disease with the aim to generate biomarker and safety data to inform how LRRK2 inhibition may impact this disease.

    DNL343 (small molecule eIF2B activator) for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS): Following previously reported topline results that the primary endpoint was not met in the HEALEY ALS platform trial (press release), further analyses are anticipated later in 2025, including neurofilament light (NfL) and other fluid biomarkers, data from pre-specified subgroups, as well as extended findings from the active treatment extension period.

    IND-ENABLING STAGE PROGRAMS

    Beginning in 2025, Denali expects to advance one to two additional programs to the clinic per year over the next three years across its TV-enabled franchises (ETV, OTV, and ATV). IND-enabling stage programs include:

    ETV

    • DNL952 (ETV:GAA) for Pompe disease
    • DNL111 (ETV:Gcase) for Parkinson's disease and Gaucher disease
    • DNL622 (ETV:IDUA) for Hurler syndrome (MPS I)

    OTV

    • DNL628 (OTV:MAPT) targeting tau for Alzheimer's disease
    • DNL422 (OTV:SNCA) targeting alpha synuclein for Parkinson's disease

    ATV

    • DNL921 (ATV:Abeta) targeting amyloid beta for Alzheimer's disease
    • Multiple ATV-enabled oncology programs

    PARTNERSHIPS

    Denali has active collaborations with Biogen for BIIB122/DNL151 in Parkinson's disease and with Takeda for TAK-594/DNL593 in FTD-GRN, both with 50/50 U.S. commercial rights. Denali also stands to receive royalty payments for SAR443122/DNL758, which is licensed to Sanofi and in development for ulcerative colitis.

    FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

    Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were approximately $1.28 billion as of September 30, 2024. Denali anticipates its cash runway will extend into 2028.
