NeuroSense CEO Provides Q1 2023 Update: Phase 2b ALS Trial Achieves 80% Enrollment
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --
NeuroSense Therapeutics Ltd. (Nasdaq: NRSN) ("NeuroSense"), a company developing treatments for severe neurodegenerative
diseases, today provided an update from its CEO, Alon Ben-Noon, on the Company's clinical and operational developments during the
first quarter of 2023.
Phase 2b Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) PARADIGM Trial Achieves
80% Patient Enrollment
| Phase 2b double-blind, placebo-controlled, multinational clinical trial to assess PrimeC's efficacy, as well as safety and tolerability in people living with ALS | ||
| Enrollment on track to be completed H1 2023 | ||
| Topline results expected H2 2023 |
Phase 2 Alzheimer's Disease (AD) Trial Under Preparation
| Biomarker study revealed elevated levels of novel biomarker TDP-43 in AD as compared to healthy controls | ||
| Results demonstrate therapeutic potential of NeuroSense's combination drug platform for AD | ||
| Platform has shown a statistically significant reduction of TDP-43 in a prior Phase 2a clinical trial biomarker study in ALS | ||
| Phase 2 double-blind proof-of-concept clinical study is now under preparation, with regulatory submissions and site readiness during Q2 2023 and first patient enrolled expected Q3 2023 | ||
| NeuroSense to collaborate with QuantalX, using direct electrophysiology imaging technology (Delphi-MD) to provide multiple clinically objective and accurate measurements in the Phase 2 AD study |
Parkinson's Disease (PD) Biomarker Study Completed
| Biomarker study evaluating levels of key biomarkers in PD as compared to healthy controls is completed and data are now being evaluated | ||
| Results expected by the first week of May |
Collaboration Agreement with Massachusetts General Hospital's NeuroEpigenetics
| In-vitro studies to test the effects of PrimeC on key pathways involved in ALS, including autophagy defects, mitochondrial dysfunction, and oxidative stress | ||
| Utilizing a novel in-vitro model generated from post-mortem ALS brain tissue (synaptoneurosomes (SNs) system) |
"In a move that we believe significantly enhances the value of
our combination drug platform, during the first quarter we established preclinical proof of concept in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease
and are preparing a Phase 2 study to commence this year. We are also well on our way to completing patient enrollment in our Phase 2b
ALS study and reiterate our timeline to report topline results from the PARADIGM study in H2 2023," stated Alon Ben-Noon. "In
addition to presenting at scientific conferences, we continue to form collaborations with leading institutions and innovative companies
to advance the science of biomarkers in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases."
NeuroSense Therapeutics, Ltd. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company
focused on discovering and developing treatments for patients suffering from debilitating neurodegenerative diseases. NeuroSense believes
that these diseases, which include amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, among others,
represent one of the most significant unmet medical needs of our time, with limited effective therapeutic options available for patients
to date. Due to the complexity of neurodegenerative diseases and based on strong scientific research on a large panel of related biomarkers,
NeuroSense's strategy is to develop combined therapies targeting multiple pathways associated with these diseases.
