Circular RNA therapeutics: a new class of long-acting RNA medicines for oncology, immunology, and rare diseases.

Scientists are studying a new type of medicine made from circular RNA, which is RNA shaped like a circle instead of a line. Because of their circular shape, these medicines may stay in the body longer and work better than current RNA medicines. Researchers are testing these circular RNA medicines to treat cancer, immune system diseases, and rare diseases.

WHY IT MATTERSCircular RNA therapeutics could eventually offer longer-lasting treatments for rare diseases with fewer doses needed, but patients should know that claims about safety and effectiveness vary depending on how the medicine is made—there's no one-size-fits-all answer yet.
