Moving forward, Sage Therapeutics and Biogen intend to cease further clinical development of SAGE-324 for essential tremor. Data from the Phase II KINETIC 2 study, which evaluated SAGE-324 (BIIB124) as a treatment for essential tremor (ET), show the drug did not achieve the trial’s primary objectives. According to Sage Therapeutics and Biogen, the study aimed to determine the dose-response relationship of SAGE-324 by assessing changes from baseline to day 91 in the TETRAS Performance Subscale Item 4 total score, measuring upper limb tremor severity. Results found that SAGE-324 offered no statistically significant improvement across different doses compared to placebo. As a result, both companies have decided to halt the ongoing open-label safety study and cease further clinical development of SAGE-324 for ET.1.
