NADNLI’s DNL628 (1Q earning note). We look forward to Biogen management’s

commentary from today’s sell side meeting and additional data to be presented at Source: FactSet, Wolfe Research

DNL628 could be differentiated with its brain-shuttle enhanced ASO approach,

including IV dosing (vs intrathecal) and potentially more broad/uniform

distribution in the brain. Preclincial data showed uniform ASO biodistribution and

sustained knockdown of target gene expression with IV administration. DNL628

Phase 1b has dosed first patient in March, with data expected in 1H27, focusing on Rudy Li

comfortable that the totality of data supports a registrational trial – Tau thesis still

the small sample size, as expected, but it sounds like the signal observed would be

strong enough to support the Tau thesis. Notably, all studied doses showed slowing
