  • Publication number: 20240167031
    Abstract: Featured are polymeric nanocarriers (e.g., PLGA nanoparticles) with encapsulated nucleic acid (e.g., an antisense oligonucleotide) for delivery (e.g., intrathecally) to the central nervous system. These polymeric nanocarriers are useful in the treatment of central nervous system disorders. They are capable of delivering their cargo (e.g., an antisense oligonucleotide) in higher amounts, for a longer period of time, and into deeper regions of the brain than a free or unformulated antisense oligonucleotide. The efficient delivery and distribution of antisense oligonucleotides results in reducing the number of administrations and patient compliance and improves patient experience.
