Batten Disease: Understanding

Batten Disease: Overview

Batten disease (also known as neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, NCL) is the name for a group of inherited nervous system disorders that most often begin in childhood. They interfere with a cell's ability to recycle a cellular residue called lipofuscin. Batten is the term commonly used to describe the many forms of the disease, which is formally called neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. The many forms of the disease are classified by the gene that causes the disorder, with each gene being called ceroid lipofucinosis, neuronal (CLN) and given a different number as its subtype. Because of the different gene mutations, signs and symptoms range in severity and progress at different rates. Symptoms generally include progressive vision loss leading to blindness, seizures, movement disorder, and dementia. Developmental skills such as standing, walking, and talking may not be achieved or are gradually lost. Other symptoms that continue to worsen over time include learning difficulties, poor concentration, and progressive loss of language skills and speech. Most children become bedridden and unable to communicate. Some children develop problems sleeping. Currently, most diagnosis of Batten disease are made by genetic testing.

Pathologically, Batten disease is characterized by lysosomal accumulation of autofluorescent storage material, glial reactivity and neuronal loss. Substantial progress has been made towards the development of effective therapies and treatments for the multiple forms of Batten disease. In 2017, cerliponase alfa (Brineura), a tripeptidyl peptidase enzyme replacement therapy, became the first globally approved treatment for CLN2 Batten disease. Here, we provide an overview of the promising therapeutic avenues for Batten disease, highlighting current FDA-approved clinical trials and prospective future treatments.

Batten Disease- Pipeline Insight, 2024 report outlays comprehensive insights of present scenario and growth prospects across the indication. A detailed picture of the Batten Disease pipeline landscape is provided which includes the disease overview and Batten Disease treatment guidelines.

Batten Disease Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Batten Disease report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Batten Disease Emerging Drugs

PLX-200: Polaryx Therapeutics PLX-200 is a repurposed drug that has been used to treat other diseases in both adults and children. It is a PPARa agonist that boosts lysosome biogenesis via TFEB upregulation. It may have therapeutic and/or prophylactic potential for Late Infantile Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (LINCL or CLN2) and for other NCLs, such as Juvenile Infantile Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (JNCL or CLN3). A neuroprotective effect has been demonstrated in murine LINCL and JNCL disease models. The treatment extended the life span of a murine LINCL disease model and reduced the level of storage materials (lipofuscin) in the brain. Orphan drug designation has been obtained from both the FDA and EMA for all subtypes of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. INDs for LINCL and JNCL with PLX-200 were approved in January and April 2020 from the FDA, respectively. Fast track designation for JNCL with PLX-200 was also granted from the FDA in August 2020. Currently, the drug is in Phase III stage of its development for the treatment of NCL.

NGN-101: Neurogene Inc NGN-101 is being developed as a one-time treatment via intracerebroventricular (ICV) and intravitreal (IVT) routes of administration for CLN5 Batten disease using an adeno-associated virus (AAV) to deliver the gene encoding CLN5, which is deficient in children with CLN5 Batten disease. Preclinical data strongly suggest that NGN-101 treatment has the potential to halt the key features of disease progression in patients with CLN5 Batten disease, including the associated vision, motor, cognitive, and behavioral declines. NGN-101 has received Orphan Drug Designation by the US and European regulatory agencies. Currently, the drug is in Phase I/II stage of its development for the treatment ofNCL.
