Defeat Degeneration

About us

Denali Therapeutics is dedicated to defeating neurodegenerative diseases by breaking through historical barriers in scientific research and clinical development in order to deliver safe and effective medicines to patients and families.

    Honored to Speak at the 2025 WORLDSymposium! I’m thrilled to share that I will be speaking at the Satellite Symposium presented by Denali Therapeutics at the 2025 WORLDSymposium! The session, Voices in Unison: Insights into the Unmet Needs in MPS II from Patient Community and Physician Perspectives, will bring together critical voices to discuss the ongoing challenges in Hunter syndrome (MPS II). I am deeply honored to join a panel alongside Dr. Joseph Muenzer and Dr. Barbara Burton, two esteemed experts in the field. I will be presenting the patient community perspective, shedding light on the real-world impact of MPS II and the urgent need for continued innovation, advocacy, and support. Hunter syndrome families inspire my work every day, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to ensure their voices are heard in this important discussion. Thank you to Denali Therapeutics for creating a platform where patient experiences and clinical expertise can come together to drive progress. If you’re attending WORLDSymposium, I hope to see you there! Let’s keep pushing forward for better treatments, better care, and a better future for those living with MPS II. #WORLDSymposium2025 #MPSII #HunterSyndrome #RareDisease #PatientAdvocacy #ProjectAlive #UnmetNeeds

  • Exciting year ahead at Denali! Today, we shared our 2025 priorities, including: - Submitting our first BLA and preparing for the commercial launch of tividenofusp alfa for MPS II (Hunter syndrome). - Enabling an accelerated approval path for DNL126 for MPS IIIA (Sanfilippo syndrome). - Expanding our portfolio of TransportVehicle™ (TV) enabled programs for brain delivery of enzyme, oligonucleotide, and antibody therapeutics. As leaders in the blood-brain barrier (BBB) field, we've pioneered a new class of barrier-crossing therapeutics. In 2025, we are driven to realize the potential of the TV platform and deliver on its potential to transform treatment for people living with rare and common brain-impacting diseases.

  • U.S. FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation Granted to Tividenofusp Alfa for the Treatment of Hunter Syndrome (MPS II)   We are thrilled to share that the U.S. FDA has granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to our therapeutic candidate, tividenofusp alfa (DNL310), for the treatment of Hunter syndrome (MPS II). Read more here: https://lnkd.in/emTs7S6y   The designation reflects the urgent need for therapies that treat both brain and body, addressing the full spectrum of Hunter syndrome, a progressive and devastating disease. We look forward to submitting a Biologics License Application (BLA) in early 2025 for review under an accelerated approval pathway.   We recognize the collective efforts that have supported this progress, and we look forward to continued collaboration with the FDA to bring an effective therapy to the Hunter syndrome community as soon as possible.     #HunterSyndrome #RareDisease

  • Update from Partner-Sponsored HEALEY ALS Platform Trial with DNL343   We are grateful to the participants, families, and investigators involved in the Phase 2/3 HEALEY ALS Platform Trial, including a regimen evaluating DNL343. While the study endpoints were not met, we look forward to additional analyses to fully understand the impact of DNL343 in ALS. Overall, DNL343 was found to be safe and well tolerated. Further analyses are anticipated later in 2025, including neurofilament light (NfL) and other fluid biomarkers, data from pre-specified subgroups, as well as extended findings from the active treatment extension period. We appreciate the Sean M. Healey & AMG Center for ALS at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in collaboration with the Northeast ALS Consortium (NEALS), the organizations that conducted and supported this study, and their efforts to advance therapies for ALS. https://lnkd.in/gvBq6Dgs

  • We had the privilege of joining the National MPS Society 38th Annual Family & Scientific Conference in Orlando, Florida! This special event brings families, clinicians, and researchers together each year to share the latest research advancements and foster meaningful connections. This year was extra special as we celebrated the MPS Society’s 50th anniversary—a significant milestone for the MPS community. We’re inspired by the incredible progress achieved over the years and are excited for the milestones still to come. A big congratulations and thank you to the National MPS Society—the future is looking bright!
