Neurological disorders affect nearly 1 billion people worldwide, and many of these conditions are currently untreatable. Traditional therapies often fall short in addressing the underlying causes of these debilitating diseases, leaving patients and their families with limited options and dwindling hope.
At Canary, we are pioneering a transformative approach to gene therapy, harnessing the power of next-gen non-viral vectors and adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) to deliver therapeutic genes directly to the central nervous system (CNS) with remarkable efficacy and tolerability. Our innovative gene therapies hold the promise of not only halting disease progression but also restoring neurological function, offering hope to countless individuals and families affected by neurological disorders.
Restoring Myelin Integrity
Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), a devastating neurological disorder that affects both children and adults, is a prime target for our gene therapy approach. ALD is characterized by the progressive destruction of myelin, the protective sheath that surrounds nerve fibers, leading to severe neurological impairment. Our gene therapies aim to restore myelin integrity, halting disease progression and potentially reversing neurological deficits.
Harnessing the Power of AAVs
AAVs, nature's own delivery vehicles, have emerged as a powerful tool in gene therapy, offering a safe and efficient means to introduce therapeutic genes into target cells. Our proprietary AAV vectors are meticulously designed to navigate the complexities of the CNS, delivering the therapeutic cargo with precision and minimal disruption.

The promise of vectorized gene therapy has ignited a beacon of hope for people battling debilitating central nervous system (CNS) proteinopathies and rare neurological diseases. Our groundbreaking pipeline spearheaded by novel vectorized gene therapy is poised to halt disease progression and restore function.
At the forefront of our efforts are two devastating CNS diseases – 4H Leukodystrophy and Early Onset Parkinson’s Disease (EOPD). For 4H Leukodystrophy, a rare pediatric disease, we are developing LNP-mRNA therapies which deliver mRNAs that code for therapeutic functional proteins which instruct cells to produce beneficial proteins. Upregulating expression of the PINK1 and/or Parkin genes and clearing toxic protein are the goals of our EOPD therapy which leverages our proprietary vectorized nanoantibody platform.
Our Pipeline
Our gene therapy pipeline explores novel vectors and next-gen combination therapies with a focus on developing transformative treatment platforms for a wide spectrum of neurological disorders and aggressive cancers. We are committed to translating our cutting-edge research into clinical applications, bringing hope to patients and their families who have long awaited effective treatments.

Revolutionizing Treatment for a Rare Pediatric Disease
Caused by POLR3A mutations leading to insufficient RNA polymerase III enzyme impacting protein production and causing severe neurological degeneration, 4H Leukodystrophy is primarily a pediatric disease with no cure. This devastating rare genetic disorder affects the nervous system causing developmental delays, motor difficulties, endocrine issues and other abnormalities.
Canary is developing a first-ever treatment for 4H Leukodystrophy using mRNA encased in LNP that aims to deliver functional POLR3A mRNA directly to affected cells, bypassing the faulty gene, enabling the production of healthy protein. We leverage the precision of antibodies to specifically target diseased cells in the central nervous system with the goal of a highly selective and targeted delivery of therapeutic mRNA. Our proprietary LNP is being formulated to enhance stability and intracellular mRNA release, maximizing therapeutic efficacy.
