CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- NeuroSense Therapeutics Ltd. (NASDAQ: NRSN) ("NeuroSense"), a late-clinical stage biotechnology company developing novel treatments for severe neurodegenerative diseases, is pleased to announce its participation in the 2024 International Symposium on ALS/MND, to be held December 6-8, 2024, in Montreal, Canada. During the event, NeuroSense will present the latest findings from its Phase 2b PARADIGM trial of PrimeC, a potential treatment for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Key Presentations at the Symposium: Prof. Merit Cudkowicz, Chair of Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital, Director of the Sean M. Healey & AMG Center for ALS, and the Julieanne Dorn Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School, will present the latest clinical outcomes from the PARADIGM trial.

About ALS 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 people are diagnosed with ALS in the U.S. alone, with an annual disease burden of $1 billion. The number of people living with ALS is expected to grow by 24% by 2040 in the U.S. and EU. About ALSFRS-R Disease progression is measured by the ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R), which is the most widely used ALS tracking tool accepted by the FDA, utilized by neurologists treating ALS patients, in clinical trials, and by other regulators to determine disease progression. It tracks 12 changes in a person's physical abilities over time including functions such as: speech, walking, climbing stairs, dressing/hygiene, handwriting, turning in bed, cutting food, salivation, swallowing, and breathing. A single point change on the ALSFRS-R has a significant impact on ALS patients, such as the transition from independent feeding to requiring assistance or independent breathing to needing to use a machine ventilator. About PARADIGM PARADIGM is a prospective, multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2b (NCT05357950) clinical trial of PrimeC in ALS. The trial included 68 participants living with ALS in Canada, Italy, and Israel. 96% of the trial participants who completed the 6-month double-blind portion of the trial chose to receive treatment with PrimeC through a 12-month open label extension. Furthermore, to date (June 2024) all participants that completed the 18-month trial treatment duration, requested to continue PrimeC, which is provided to them in an Investigator Initiated Trial, not limited with time. As previously reported, in the 6-month double-blind segment of the trial, the data showed clinically meaningful signs of efficacy with a 29% difference in favor of PrimeC vs placebo in analysis of the intent to treat (ITT) population. In the PP top-line analysis from PARADIGM, a statistically significant slowing of disease progression was observed with a 37.4% (p=0.03) difference in ALSFRS-R in favor of PrimeC vs placebo. Most patients enrolled in both the active and placebo arms of the trial were concurrently treated with Riluzole, the ALS standard of care medication, indicating PrimeC slowed disease progression well beyond the level afforded by the FDA approved ALS drug. About PrimeC PrimeC, NeuroSense's lead drug candidate, is a novel extended-release oral formulation composed of a unique fixed-dose combination of two FDA-approved drugs: ciprofloxacin and celecoxib. PrimeC is designed to synergistically target several key mechanisms of ALS that contribute to motor neuron degeneration, inflammation, iron accumulation and impaired ribonucleic acid ("RNA") regulation to potentially inhibit the progression of ALS. NeuroSense completed a Phase 2a clinical trial which 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 was granted Orphan Drug Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency. About NeuroSense 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.

Meeting discussion to focus on finalizing Phase 3 study design and NDA readiness, ensuring a clear regulatory path for submission based on trial success Parallel preparations in Canada: NeuroSense plans to submit its dossier in Q2 2025, with a regulatory decision on commercialization expected by Q1 2026 CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- NeuroSense Therapeutics Ltd. (NASDAQ: NRSN) ("NeuroSense"), a late-clinical stage biotechnology company developing novel treatments for severe neurodegenerative diseases, today announced it is scheduled for a Type C meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to discuss the design of its upcoming Phase 3 clinical trial for PrimeC, a potential treatment for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The FDA Type C meeting, scheduled for November 6, 2024, will focus on finalizing the design of the Phase 3 trial, a pivotal step toward securing approval for the drug. NeuroSense will also review its readiness for a future New Drug Application (NDA) submission, ensuring its regulatory strategy aligns with the FDA's requirements. NeuroSense plans to give an update on the results of the meeting following receipt of the meeting minutes which are expected approximately one month after the meeting. PrimeC, NeuroSense's lead product, has shown promising results in clinical trials, including a statistically significant reduction in disease progression clinical and biological markers. With an urgent unmet need in ALS, NeuroSense is positioning PrimeC as a potential breakthrough therapy. In parallel, NeuroSense plans to submit its regulatory dossier to Health Canada in Q2 2025, with a regulatory decision anticipated by Q1 2026. The Company estimates the potential market opportunity for PrimeC in Canada alone to be approximately $100 million to $150 million in annual revenue. This decision follows the recommendations of Canadian regulatory experts and recent clinical findings, which demonstrated that PrimeC significantly reduced disease progression (p=0.009) and improved survival rates by 43% compared to placebo, highlighting its potential as a breakthrough therapy for ALS.
