EX-99.1 2 ea174986ex99-1_scisparc.htm PRESS RELEASE ISSUED BY SCISPARC LTD. ON MARCH 9, 2023 TITLED "SCISPARC RECEIVES APPROVAL TO CONDUCT ITS PHASE IIB CLINICAL TRIAL FOR SCI-110 TO TREAT TOURETTE SYNDROME"

Exhibit 99.1

 

SciSparc Receives Approval to conduct its Phase IIb Clinical Trial for SCI-110 to treat Tourette Syndrome

 

Israeli Ministry of Health granted an approval to use SCI-110 in a clinical trial at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, in Tel Aviv, Israel

 

TEL AVIV, Israel, March 9, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SciSparc Ltd. (Nasdaq: SPRC) (the “Company” or “SciSparc”), a specialty, clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focusing on the development of therapies to treat disorders of the central nervous system, today announced the approval of the Israeli Ministry of Health to conduct its clinical trial titled “A randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, cross-over study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of daily oral SCI-110 in treating adults with Tourette Syndrome”.

 

The first clinical site to receive approval to conduct the trial is Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, Tel Aviv, Israel, under the leadership of Prof. Tanya Gurevich, Head of Movement Disorders Unit, Department of Neurology. The Company also intends to conduct the clinical trial in various sites including Yale Child Study Center, Yale School of Medicine, Connecticut, USA, under the leadership of Dr. Michael H. Bloch and Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Germany, under the leadership of Prof. Muller-Vahl, Department of Psychiatry.  The launch of the clinical trial at Yale University is subject to approvals by the United States Food and Drug Administration and Yale University’s institutional review board and the launch of the clinical trial at Hannover Medical School is subject to approvals by the German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices.

 

“We are excited to be granted approval to conduct our Tourette Syndrome (“TS”) clinical trial in Israel. This is another step for the Company’s progress in the developments of much needed treatment for TS. We are proud to be able to collaborate with centers of excellence around the world such as Yale University, Hannover Medical School and the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center,” said Oz Adler, Chief Executive Officer of SciSparc.

 

“TS is estimated to affect 0.5-1% of the world’s population, however the very few available treatments have limited efficacy and questionable safety. Based on previous results from our phase IIa trial conducted at the same site at Yale University, we believe our proprietary SCI-110 treatment has the potential to help TS patients around the world,” Adler added.  

 

The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of SciSparc’s proprietary drug candidate SCI-110 in adult patients (between 18 and 65 years of age) using daily oral treatment. The patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either SCI-110 or a SCI-110 matched placebo. The primary efficacy objective of the study will be to assess tic severity change using the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale, the most commonly used measure in clinical trials, as a continuous endpoint at week 12 and week 26 of the double-blind phase compared to baseline. The primary safety objective of the study will be to assess absolute and relative frequencies of serious adverse events for the entire population and separately for the SCI-110 and placebo groups.

EX-99.2 3 ea174986ex99-2_scisparc.htm PRESS RELEASE ISSUED BY SCISPARC LTD. ON MARCH 10, 2023 TITLED "SCISPARC LTD. ANNOUNCES RECEIPT OF NASDAQ MINIMUM BID PRICE NOTIFICATION"

Exhibit 99.2

 

 

SciSparc Ltd. Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Notification

 

TEL AVIV, Israel, March 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SciSparc Ltd. (Nasdaq: SPRC), a specialty clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focusing on the development of therapies to treat disorders of the central nervous system (the “Company” or “SciSparc”), today announced it has received a written notice (the “Notice”) from Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been granted a period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. The Notice has no immediate effect on the Company’s Nasdaq listing or the trading of its ordinary shares, and during the grace period, as may be extended, the Company’s ordinary shares will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “SPRC”.

 

According to the Notice, the Company has until September 5, 2023 to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. The Company can regain compliance, if at any time during this 180-day period, the closing bid price of its ordinary shares is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, in which case the Company will be provided with written confirmation of compliance and this matter will be closed. In the event that the Company does not regain compliance after the initial 180-day period, the Company may then be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period if it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement. In this case, the Company will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period.

 

If the Company cannot demonstrate compliance by the allotted compliance period(s), Nasdaq’s staff will notify the Company that its ordinary shares are subject to delisting.
