A Study to Determine the Biodistribution, Safety, and Tolerability of a Microdose of Radiolabeled Diranersen (BIIB080) Co-administered With Diranersen in Healthy Adults

July 9, 2026 updated by: Biogen

A Phase 1, Open-Label Study to Determine the Biodistribution, Safety, and Tolerability of a Microdose of Radiolabeled BIIB080 Co-administered With BIIB080 in Healthy Adults

In this study, researchers will learn more about a study drug called diranersen (BIIB080). Diranersen is currently a drug under investigation for treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The main question researchers are trying to answer in this study is how radiolabeled diranersen distributes in the brain and spinal cord. To help answer this question, researchers will use positron emission tomography (PET) scanner that can detect radiolabeled diranersen after a single injection of a small dose of radiolabeled diranersen ([89Zr]Zr-DFO-diranersen) and a dose of diranersen together via an intrathecal (IT) injection in healthy volunteers. Researchers will also learn about the safety of injecting radiolabeled diranersen and diranersen together.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Description

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Must be healthy adult and have a body mass index (BMI) 18 through 30 kilograms per square meter (kg/m^2).
  • Males must practice highly effective contraception and females must be of no childbearing potential.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Conditions that influence cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) kinetics e.g., significant scoliosis or a physical disability that limits mobility.
  • Contraindication to:
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan: e.g., indwelling ferrous metal, implanted medical devices, or claustrophobia.
  • Radiation/PET scan: e.g., inability to lie flat or still for the duration of the scan) or intolerance to previous nuclear medicine scans.
  • Lumbar Puncture (LP, spinal tap): e.g., current use of a medication that prolongs coagulation times, including aspirin, known disorders of the coagulation cascade, platelet function, or platelet count, low white blood cell counts, chronic low back pain; prior lumbar spine surgery, anatomical factors at or near the spinal tap site, clinical signs of raised intracranial pressure (e.g., headache, or focal neurologic signs).
  • Findings from the screening MRI that may interfere with participant safety or the scientific integrity of the study e.g., Chiari malformation, high grade spinal stenosis, hydrocephalus, or neural tube defect.
  • Abnormal Laboratory Values e.g., liver functions, anemia, abnormal blood coagulation profile.
  • Cardiac, endocrinologic, hematologic, hepatic, immunologic, metabolic, urologic, pulmonary, neurologic, dermatologic, psychiatric, renal, or malignant disease.
  • Severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions/ systemic hypersensitivity to diranersen or any component of the study treatment.
  • Alcohol or substance abuse.
  • Plans to undergo elective procedures or surgeries during the study.
  • Enrollment in any other drug, biologic, device, or clinical study within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to Check-in.
  • Use of any prescription medication (except hormone therapy), over-the-counter medication (excluding acetaminophen), or dietary and herbal supplements (e.g., St. John's wort) within 28 days of the of dosing and during the study.

NOTE: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
CNS Biodistribution of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-Diranersen Assessed as the Percentage of Dose Taken up by Each Region of Interest (ROI)
Time Frame: Post-dose on Days 1, 2, 5, and 8
CNS biodistribution of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-Diranersen will be measured using the Positron Emission tomography (PET) imaging. The mean radioactive counts per voxel will be measured. These counts will be converted to the percentage of dose that is taken up by each ROI (% of injected tracer dose per gram of tissue) to quantify the biodistribution in measurable tissues and CSF spaces at relative distances from the lumbar injection using quantitative scaling algorithms.
Post-dose on Days 1, 2, 5, and 8

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Time Frame: Up to 197 days
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal assessment such as an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, in the view of the Investigator, places the participant at immediate risk of death, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect and is a medically important event.
Up to 197 days
Dosimetry: Dose of Radiation Absorbed as Measured by PET Imaging Test
Time Frame: Post-dose on Days 1, 2, 5, and 8
Absorbed dose for the various organs will be estimated from the PET scans.
Post-dose on Days 1, 2, 5, and 8
