Full Press Release Details
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- NeuroSense Therapeutics Ltd. (NASDAQ: NRSN) ("NeuroSense"), a company developing treatments for severe neurodegenerative diseases, today announced its Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ferenc Tracik will participate in the 29th annual BIO-Europe Fall partnering conference on November 6-8, 2023 in Munich, Germany.
Dr. Tracik is scheduled to meet with potential strategic partners and collaborators regarding NeuroSense's advancing development pipeline. The Company's lead combination drug PrimeC is in a global Phase 2b study for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Other programs include the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, headed into Phase 2, and Parkinson's disease now in the pre-clinical phase.
BIO-Europe participants interested in meeting with NeuroSense may connect through the partnering system or contact NeuroSense directly at [email protected].
PrimeC, NeuroSense's lead drug candidate, is a combination therapy that was granted Orphan Drug Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). NeuroSense completed a Phase 2a clinical study which successfully met its safety and efficacy endpoints including reducing functional and respiratory deterioration and statistically significant changes in ALS-related biological markers indicating PrimeC's biological activity. PrimeC is now being evaluated in PARADIGM, a multinational, 18-month, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2b clinical trial, in people living with ALS. The study enrolled 69 participants in Israel, Italy, and Canada.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an incurable neurodegenerative disease that causes complete paralysis and death within 2-5 years from diagnosis. Every year, more than 5,000 patients are diagnosed with ALS in the U.S. alone, with an annual disease burden of $1 billion. The number of patients with ALS is expected to grow 24% by 2040 in the U.S. and EU.
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.
