Drug Overview
Biogen has developed Plegridy as a follow-on product to its leading MS therapy Avonex. Plegridy can be dosed fortnightly, compared to Avonex’s once-weekly dosing regimen. It is proposed that by attaching a polyethylene glycol link, the active interferon beta-1a component is protected from degradation, extending the lifetime of the drug and thus reducing the frequency of injections, providing a more effective and convenient dosing option.
Plegridy was first approved by the European Medicines Agency in July 2014, with the US Food and Drug Administration later approving Plegridy in August 2014, following a three-month extension to the standard review period.
