| 07:31 EDT |  | BIIB | Biogen, Sobi announce results from Phase 3 B-LONG study
Biogen Idec and Swedish Orphan Biovitrum announced positive results from B-LONG, a clinical study that evaluated a new long-lasting clotting factor candidate in people with hemophilia B. Hemophilia B is a rare inherited disorder that impairs blood coagulation. Top-line results from B-LONG, a global, multi-center, Phase 3 clinical study of the companies’ long-lasting recombinant Factor IX Fc fusion protein, showed that rFIXFc was effective in the control and prevention of bleeding, routine prophylaxis, and perioperative management. Recombinant FIXFc was generally well-tolerated. Additional analyses of the B-LONG study are ongoing and the companies anticipate presenting further results at a future scientific meeting. Biogen Idec plans to submit a Biologics License Application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the first half of 2013. Consistent with guidelines published by the European Medicines Agency that require a study in children less than 12 years of age prior to filing, Biogen Idec and Sobi expect to file a Marketing Authorization Application with the EMA upon completion of the ongoing Kids B-LONG study. |
