Due to the limited number of cases, conducting large-scale clinical trials for rare diseases is challenging. This review introduces several small sample statistical designs tailored for rare diseases, including crossover design, -of-1 design, randomized placebo-phase design, randomized withdrawal design, group sequential design, and adaptive design. It discusses the advantages, disadvantages, and application scenarios of these designs.

Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) offer versatile tools to modify the processing and expression levels of gene transcripts. As such, they have a high therapeutic potential for rare genetic diseases, where applicability of each ASO ranges from thousands of patients worldwide to single individuals based on the prevalence of the causative pathogenic variant. It was shown that development of individualized ASOs was feasible within an academic setting, starting with Milasen for the treatment of a patient with CLN7 Batten's disease in the USA.
