NeuroSense Enrolls First Patient in Phase IIb ALS Trial for its Combination Therapy PrimeC

 

Phase IIa study successfully met safety and efficacy endpoints including reducing functional and respiratory deterioration and statistically significant changes in ALS-related biomarkers
   
PrimeC has Orphan Drug Designation with the FDA and EMA

 

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 1st, 2022 -- NeuroSense Therapeutics Ltd. (Nasdaq: NRSN) (“NeuroSense”), a company developing treatments for severe neurodegenerative diseases, today announced it has enrolled the first patient in its Phase IIb PARADIGM trial for its lead drug candidate PrimeC for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). PARADIGM will enroll 69 people living with ALS in Israel, Italy, and the U.S. The double blind, placebo controlled, multicenter trial will randomize participants at a 2:1 ratio to receive PrimeC or placebo, respectively. Clinical trial endpoints include assessment of ALS-biomarkers, evaluation of clinical efficacy, and improvement in quality of life to demonstrate an attenuation in disease progression. NeuroSense expects to complete enrollment by the end of 2022 and to report top-line results in Q2 2023.

 

   
  NeuroSense enrolls first patient in PARADIGM,
a Phase IIb trial for ALS with their novel
combination therapy, PrimeC
 

 

PrimeC is a novel, patented formulation consisting of specific doses of two FDA-approved drugs, ciprofloxacin and celecoxib, designed to work synergistically on multiple targets by regulating microRNA synthesis, modulating iron accumulation, and reducing neuroinflammation. The Phase IIb study is designed to utilize an optimized dose and improved formulation which aims to maximize the synergistic effect between the compounds in the combination drug, relative to the formulation used in the prior Phase IIa study.

 

“As PrimeC enters this advanced stage trial, we are hopeful that our enhanced formulation will further improve on the promising results we observed from our combination therapy in our Phase IIa ALS study,” stated NeuroSense’s CEO, Alon Ben-Noon. “In this well-designed, patient-centric study, we are working in collaboration with cutting-edge technology partners on an extensive panel of biomarkers to elucidate PrimeC’s mechanism of action, as we believe this could enable patient stratification and increase likelihood of success in a pivotal trail. Targeting multiple pathological pathways in ALS, synergistically, is a paradigm shift in ALS therapy”.

 

About PrimeC

 

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 IIa 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. Through a collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston on novel Neuron-Derived Exosomes (NDEs), NeuroSense is working to further determine the biological changes in ALS-related pathologies and the effect of PrimeC on relevant targets. Results from this study are expected Q2 2022.

NeuroSense Reports Positive Results from Stage III ALS Biomarker Study

 

Preliminary results show levels of disease-related biomarkers remain unchanged in people living with ALS who are treated with standard of care, in contrast to the statistically significant decline in these biomarkers in patients treated in NeuroSense’s Phase IIa study with PrimeC
   
New biomarker data in people with ALS validates NeuroSense’s clinical strategy

 

 

Dr. Shiran Zimri, Head of Scientific Programs
at NeuroSense Therapeutics

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 27, 2022 -- NeuroSense Therapeutics Ltd. (Nasdaq: NRSN) (“NeuroSense”), a company developing treatments for severe neurodegenerative diseases, today announced results from Stage III of its biomarker study conducted in collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) to evaluate PrimeC, NeuroSense’s lead combination drug candidate for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). PrimeC is currently being evaluated in NeuroSense’s Phase IIb PARADIGM study following the successful conclusion of its Phase IIa study which met its primary endpoints.

 

The purpose of the initial ALS biomarker study (Stage I) was to characterize the baseline phenomena observed in people living with ALS. The study identified novel ALS biomarkers that are indicative of PrimeC’s mechanism of action (MOA), via an analysis comparing blood samples obtained from healthy people and from people living with ALS. TDP-43 accumulation and neuroinflammation via prostagladin2 were amongst the disease-modifying targets characterized, along with miRNA dysregulation, iron accumulation, lysosomal dysfunction, and impaired autophagy.

 

Stage II investigated the therapeutic effect of PrimeC. In NeuroSense’s Phase IIa study blood samples were analyzed to determine the longitudinal effect of PrimeC on the biomarkers identified in Stage I. Following 12 months of administration with PrimeC, statistically significant changes in key ALS-related biomarkers were observed in study participants. Furthermore, the study established a correlation between the clinically meaningful outcomes detected and modulations in those biomarkers.

  

The Stage III natural history study analyzed blood samples from people living with ALS, treated with standard of care. Preliminary results show that levels of disease-related biomarkers remain steady and unchanged in people living with ALS, in contrast to the statistically significant decline portrayed in these biomarkers when PrimeC was administered in addition to the standard of care. Stage III results further confirmed PrimeC’s MOA, and expanded insight into ALS-related biomarkers and their correlation to the progression of ALS symptoms.

 

“These results are encouraging, especially in that they validate NeuroSense’s clinical strategy. The biomarker study, along with the data we collect from our Phase IIb study, will inform the optimization of a pivotal Phase III study of PrimeC in ALS,” stated NeuroSense’s CEO, Alon Ben-Noon. “NeuroSense is honored to collaborate with the world-class MGH team on this critical study.”

 

 

 

 

“NeuroSense remains at the forefront of biomarker research with the inclusion of a comprehensive portfolio of biomarkers in our Phase IIb study. This is essential in exploring mechanistic associations in ALS,” stated Shiran Zimri, Head of Scientific Programs at NeuroSense. “The use of neuronal derived exosomes (NDE), a cutting-edge technology, allows one to observe key alterations in biomarkers found in the central nervous system. We look forward to sharing more detailed results at the upcoming World Orphan Drug Congress in Boston, Massachusetts on July 11-13th.”

 

About PrimeC

 

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 IIa 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. Through a collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston on novel Neuron-Derived Exosomes (NDEs), NeuroSense is working to further analyze the results and correlations to the clinical data, to determine the biological changes in ALS-related pathologies and the magnitude of the effect of PrimeC on relevant targets..

NeuroSense Therapeutics Reports Positive Preliminary Results from Novel Alzheimer’s Biomarker Study

 

Biomarkers show the potential of NeuroSense’s combination drug CogniC to treat Alzheimer’s disease

 

CogniC is expected to advance into clinical trials in 2023

 

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NeuroSense Therapeutics Ltd. (NASDAQ: NRSN) (“NeuroSense”), a company developing treatments for severe neurodegenerative diseases, today announced results from a biomarker study conducted to evaluate the potential of CogniC, NeuroSense’s combination drug for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

 

 

NeuroSense’s biomarker study identified several biomarkers associated with AD, which indicate CogniC’s mechanism of action may be effective in targeting the pathways involved in the disease, such as miRNA dysregulation, lysosomal dysfunction, and impaired autophagy. Additionally, hallmarks of AD were detected, such as increased levels of amyloid-β (Aβ) and intracellular aggregates of tau protein among the panel of biomarkers evaluated.

 

Preliminary results revealed high levels of TDP-43 in people who suffer from AD, when compared to the healthy control group. These findings provide additional support for TDP-43 pathology as an integral part of AD, reinforcing the growing body of evidence in AD research regarding the role of TDP-43 in neurodegenerative pathologies. TDP-43 has been found in up to 57% of AD cases and aggregates of TDP-43 have been shown to be cytotoxic both in vitro and in vivo.[1] NeuroSense’s platform combination therapy technology, the basis of CogniC, has already shown to impact TDP-43 in a Phase IIa clinical trial biomarker study in another neurodegenerative disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). 

 

“Having identified these promising biomarkers, which have the potential to be modulated by CogniC, we are now preparing to carry out a clinical proof-of-concept study in conjunction with a leading AD clinic. The study is expected to commence in 2023,” stated NeuroSense CEO, Alon Ben-Noon.

 

NeuroSense is conducting its AD biomarker study via utilization of Neuron-Derived Exosomes (NDE), a cutting-edge technology which allows one to observe key alterations in biomarkers found in the central nervous system in a non-invasive manner via collection of blood samples. Following further analysis, NeuroSense expects to share more detailed results on additional novel biomarkers that were evaluated in this study through scientific conferences and peer-reviewed publications. 

 

About TDP-43

 

Transactive response DNA binding protein of 43 kDa (TDP-43) is involved in regulation of gene expression. AD patients with TDP-43 pathology have increased severity of cognitive impairment compared to those without TDP-43 pathology. Additionally, the strongest genetic risk factor for AD, apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4), is associated with increased frequency of TDP-43 pathology.[1]

NeuroSense Therapeutics Ltd. reports successful completion of its Phase I pharmacokinetic study, designed to evaluate the comparative bioavailability of PrimeC to co-administered ciprofloxacin tablets and celecoxib capsules, and to evaluate the effect of food on the bioavailability of PrimeC. The open-label, randomized, single-dose, three-treatment, three-period crossover study was carried out in 12 healthy volunteers in the USA, under an FDA-cleared IND protocol. Based on preliminary results, the pharmacokinetic profile of PrimeC supports the formulation’s extended release properties, as the active components are released simultaneously.

On July 13, 2022, NeuroSense Therapeutics Ltd. (the “Company”), will present results from the Stage III ALS biomarker study (the “Study”) at the World Orphan Drug Congress in Boston, MA, in continuation to the positive results reported on June 27, 2022.

 

The Study analyzed blood samples from people living with ALS, treated with standard of care. PrimeC, the Company’s lead combination drug candidate for the treatment of ALS, was shown to induce alterations in key ALS biomarkers. Specifically, levels of disease-related biomarkers, TDP-43 and PgJ2, were evaluated over 12 months. TDP-43 and PgJ2 remained steady and unchanged in matched patients, not treated with PrimeC, in contrast to the statistically significant attenuation portrayed in these biomarkers during the NST002 Phase IIa study, when PrimeC was administered. 

 

These results further confirm PrimeC’s mechanism of action, as they expand insight into ALS-related biomarkers and their correlation to the progression of disease symptoms. 

 

A slide of the biomarker study results is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
