SciSparc-Clearmind Medicine Collaboration Leads to Publication of International Patent Application for Innovative MDMA-Based Combination Treatment
Pioneering Therapeutic Approach Aims to Enhance
Safety and Efficacy
in Mental Health and Addiction Treatments
TEL AVIV, Israel, Sept. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SciSparc Ltd. (Nasdaq: SPRC) (“Company” or “SciSparc”), a specialty clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focusing on the development of therapies to treat disorders and rare diseases of the central nervous system, announced today that as part of its ongoing collaboration with Clearmind Medicine Inc. (“Clearmind”) (Nasdaq: CMND) (CSE: CMND) (FSE: CWY0), a biotechnology company focused on discovery and development of novel psychedelic-derived therapeutics to solve major under-treated mental health problems, an international patent application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty has been published for the innovative combination of 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) with N-Acylethanolamines.
As part of their collaboration, SciSparc and Clearmind are researching innovative combination therapies that combine psychedelic molecules with the N-Acylethanolamines family, including Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA). To date, thirteen patents related to this collaboration have been filed by Clearmind with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, as well as in several other global jurisdictions.
“The great importance of the cooperation with Clearmind lies in our unceasing attempts to offer effective and safe treatments and today’s announcement is another demonstration of this methodology, as we believe that our combined approach may address some of the U.S. Food & Drug Administration’s concerns associated with MDMA safety,” said Oz Adler, Chief Executive Officer of SciSparc. “By integrating MDMA with N-Acylethanolamines like PEA, we aim to enhance both the safety and therapeutic potential of these treatments. This combination offers a promising path forward in the treatment of mental health disorders and addictions, providing an opportunity to overcome regulatory barriers and unlock the full potential of MDMA in clinical settings.”
