Shares in Eisai Co , Biogen's Japanese partner in the drug, were quoted up 18% to the daily limit high of 6,534 yen in Tokyo trading. The field of experimental Alzheimer's treatments is littered with high-profile failures, with many major drugmakers abandoning the race to develop a medicine for a disease that makes up 60%-70% of an estimated 50 million dementia cases globally. Any medicine that effectively treats the disease is likely to become one of the world's top-selling drugs and could be transformative for Biogen, which is facing multiple challenges over its product pipeline.
The stock fell under the psychological barrier of $300 March 21, when the company and its development partner Eisai Co., Ltd (OTC: ESALY) announced their decision to shelve two late-stage studies dubbed ENGAGE and EMERGE that evaluated the efficacy and safety of aducanumab in patients with mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease and mild Alzheimer's disease dementia. Biogen said Tuesday it plans to file a BLA for aducanumab for the treatment of early Alzheimer's disease following consultation with the FDA.
Biogen said it will pursue regulatory approval for aducanumab, an investigational treatment for early Alzheimer's disease after consulting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. A Phase 3 trial met its primary endpoint showing a significant reduction in clinical decline, and Biogen believes that results from a subset of patients in the study who received sufficient exposure to high dose aducanumab support the finding. The decision to file is based on a new analysis, conducted by Biogen in consultation with the FDA, of a larger dataset from the Phase 3 clinical studies that were discontinued in March 2019 following a futility analysis.

Biogen Inc and Eisai Co Ltd are abandoning two late-stage trials for their Alzheimer's treatment in a widely anticipated move that comes months after the companies scrapped trials of another drug for the memory-robbing disease. The companies said on Friday the decision was based on the results of a review conducted by a data safety monitoring board, which recommended discontinuing the trials as benefits from the treatment, elenbecestat, did not outweigh its risks. Shares of Biogen were up 2.3% at $237.60 as some analysts said ending the trial would save the company costs associated with running it through its completion.

The decision was made after the Data Safety Monitoring Board's recommendation to discontinue the trials. The trial on the investigational oral beta amyloid cleaving enyzme (BACE) inhibitor elenbecestat in patients with early AD. The companies said as part of the decision to discontinue the phase 3 trial, the long-term extension of the phase 2 trial of elenbecestat will also be discontinued.
