Overview

CLN3-targeting spherical nucleic acid is a preclinical nucleic acid therapeutic being developed by Exicure for CLN3 Batten disease, also known as juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. It uses Exicure's spherical nucleic acid platform, a nanoparticle-like three-dimensional architecture of densely oriented oligonucleotides designed to enter cells without conventional transfection agents. Based on the available description, the therapy is intended to target the **CLN3** gene and address the underlying monogenic cause of disease in patients with pathogenic CLN3 mutations, making it best characterized as an early-stage **gene-directed RNA therapy** for a rare lysosomal storage neurodegenerative disorder.
