Exploratory extracellular vesicle biomarkers suggested KP405, a brain-penetrant GLP-1/GIP agonist, engaged insulin signaling and neuroinflammation pathways in a small phase 1 study.

Early phase 1 findings showed that the PROTAC LRRK2 degrader ARV-102 was associated with improvements in saccadic hypometria and changes in CSF markers of endolysosomal function, neuroinflammation, synaptic integrity, and axonal guidance in participants with Parkinson disease.

Full results from the phase 2b LUMA showed that investigational BIIB122/DNL151 did not slow confirmed clinical worsening in early-stage Parkinson's disease compared with placebo.

The associate vice president of clinical research at the Parkinson's Foundation discussed new PD GENEration data validating a GBA1 intronic risk variant for Parkinson disease. [WATCH TIME: 6 minutes]

New analyses from the D1AMOND clinical program found that 69.8% of participants achieved a clinically meaningful reduction in tic severity within 8 weeks of ecopipam treatment, while an interim 18-month analysis showed sustained improvement without new safety signals.

PROPEL will test imeroprubart, an investigational FcRn blocker, against placebo in adults with mild to severe generalized myasthenia gravis.

New data from a Cure SMA survey showed that children treated with disease-modifying therapy soon after birth walk more often and have fewer comorbidities than those treated later.

A new Bayesian network meta-analysis found nipocalimab's serious adverse event rates compared favorably with other gMG therapies, while overall adverse event rates were comparable.

An updated open-label extension analysis and new MRI data from the phase 3 EPIDYS trial, presented at the 2026 AANEM Annual Meeting, add to the evidence for givinostat's long-term effects on disease progression.

New 12-month interim data showed functional gains with BBP-418 vs placebo, consistent benefit across genotype, age, and baseline pulmonary function subgroups, and a safety profile comparable to placebo.

Real-world 12‑month results from WeSMA, a phase 4 study, showed that oral risdiplam is well tolerated in adults with SMA, with stable motor function and consistent safety findings.

A phase 4 study is evaluating whether adults with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy can transition from intravenous immunoglobulin to subcutaneous efgartigimod PH20 without first experiencing disease worsening.

A new phase 4 trial, OCTAGON, will test a rapid, predefined corticosteroid-tapering schedule in patients with generalized myasthenia gravis treated with ravulizumab.

PETUNIA, a new global pharmacovigilance study, will track pregnancy, maternal, and infant outcomes among patients with gMG exposed to nipocalimab.

Findings from the phase 1/2 RESET-MG trial, presented at AANEM 2026, showed that 10 of 13 patients with refractory generalized myasthenia gravis had clinically meaningful MG-ADL improvements after a single infusion of rese-cel.

A new study will follow adults with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy who start subcutaneous efgartigimod in routine practice in the US and Germany.

The chairman of the Neurology Service Line at Baptist Health in Kentucky discussed PREVIEW trial findings for gefelorilimab in generalized myasthenia gravis, including efficacy, safety, and what the subcutaneous C5 inhibitor could offer patients if approved.

Phase 3 trials EMNERGIZE and EMVIGORATE will evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous empasiprubart in adults with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy.

The ongoing phase 3 study is enrolling approximately 180 adults across more than 13 countries, with topline results expected in mid-2027.

New data from the 2026 AANEM Annual Meeting showed zilucoplan delivered via autoinjector was bioequivalent to the pre-filled syringe and was well tolerated when self-administered by patients with generalized myasthenia gravis.

The phase 3 HARMONIA trial will evaluate whether a muscle- and CNS-targeted antisense conjugate improves function across multiple systems in patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1.

New phase 3 MINT trial analyses presented at the 2026 AANEM Annual Meeting showed inebilizumab produced sustained improvement in MuSK-positive gMG regardless of time since diagnosis.

New PREVAIL trial analyses presented at the 2026 AANEM Annual Meeting showed gefurulimab reduced gMG-related hospitalizations and produced durable symptom and quality-of-life gains through one year.

One-year KYSA-6 data showed KYV-101, a CD19 CAR T-cell therapy, produced durable, drug-free responses in generalized myasthenia gravis.

An indirect comparison found zorevunersen-treated patients with Dravet syndrome showed greater gains in adaptive functioning and behavior than natural history patients.

In the final episode, Yogesh Shah, MD, MPH, FAAFP, details how Alzheimer biomarkers have evolved and why blood-based testing could move the field toward earlier detection, risk reduction, and ultimately prevention.

Yogesh Shah, MD, MPH, FAAFP, discusses how earlier identification of Alzheimer pathology with P-tau217 could change the patient journey, from treatment opportunities to long-term planning and dementia risk reduction.

Neurologist Takaomi Saido, PhD, discusses decades of research into the neprilysin-donanemab and amyloid-beta–tau axes in Alzheimer disease, highlighting potential mechanisms underlying the transition from amyloid to tau pathology and opportunities to develop earlier, more targeted disease-modifying therapies.
