Abstract

The regulatory approvals of nusinersen and tofersen, plus the large body of clinical and preclinical data from other drugs, have significantly de-risked antisense technology for neurological diseases. The platform learnings over the last 2 decades can be applied to subsequent drugs to improve the efficiency of discovering effective neuro-therapeutics.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of interests Madelyn E.
