Cover Story: Historically, the development of therapies used to treat rare diseases has been heavily restricted by low patient numbers and high development costs that impede traditional clinical trials. However, several recent N-of-1 trials using small DNA-like molecules known as antisense oligonucleotides have highlighted the immense potential that these molecules may have as therapeutics for rare diseases. In this review, the authors outline the development of N-of-1 antisense therapies to date, including the landmark case of Milasen, as well as provide an overview of the changing FDA regulations surrounding antisense therapies for rare disease indications.
