NeuroSense Therapeutics (Nasdaq: NRSN) provides a business update for Q1 2024, highlighting key collaborations and positive results from the PARADIGM Study in ALS and Alzheimer's disease. The company is focused on advancing its treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, with plans for further research and clinical trials in the coming months.
NeuroSense announced collaborations with Genetika+ and Lonza to enhance the development of PrimeC for ALS and Alzheimer's disease.
Positive results from the PARADIGM Study, including quality of life and complication-free survival data, were well-received at the AAN conference.
Dr. Merit Cudkowicz's presentation of the PARADIGM data at the AAN conference provided validation and encouragement in the medical community for ALS treatment research.

Corporate Highlights from Q1 2024 and To Date
- Merit Cudkowicz, M.D., M.Sc., chair of neurology and Director of the Sean M. Healey & AMG Center for ALS at Massachusetts General Hospital presented full data update from PARADIGM in ALS during Emerging Sciences (late-breaker equivalent) presentation at the American Academy of Neurology annual meeting
- Announced collaboration with Genetika+ to apply their precision medicine methodology to better quantify neuronal plasticity as part of the Company's ongoing Phase 2 Alzheimer's disease trial
- Entered into collaboration with Lonza (SIX: LONN) to identify exosome-based biomarkers to further advance PrimeC in ALS
- Company announced subsequent analyses of quality of life and complication free survival from the PARADIGM Study, which demonstrated positive results as well as positive trends of key biomarker outcome of neurofilament light chain (NfL) levels
"The first several months of 2024 have proven to be very productive for NeuroSense as we have entered into multiple key collaborations that we expect will help to enhance the development of PrimeC both for ALS and Alzheimer's disease. In addition, our PARADIGM results received significant validation when they were accepted as late breaking data at the AAN conference," stated NeuroSense CEO Alon Ben-Noon. "We were honored to have Dr. Merit Cudkowicz present the data to a wide scientific audience, and we believe that these data will continue to be welcomed in the medical community as providing encouragement in the search for viable ALS treatment."
"As we proceed through the second quarter, we anticipate further collaborations as well as to schedule an end of Phase 2 study with FDA in order to continue this important research into a Phase 3 clinical trial. We look forward to providing additional new data from the PARADIGM trial," concluded Mr. Ben-Noon.
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 patients are diagnosed with ALS in the
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 the 6-month double blind portion of PARADIGM, a prospective, multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2b ALS (NCT05357950) clinical trial, which met its safety and tolerability endpoints, as well as showing a statistically significant slowing of disease progression in the pre-specified Per Protocol (PP) population. PrimeC was granted Orphan Drug Designation by the
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.
