The company stated that the regulatory submission was based on BG-12's comprehensive development program, in which BG-12 demonstrated significant reductions in MS disease activity coupled with favorable safety and tolerability in the Phase 3 DEFINE and CONFIRM studies.
Biogen noted that it intends to submit a Marketing Authorisation Application for BG-12 to the European Medicines Agency within the coming days.
