CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - NeuroSense Therapeutics Ltd. (NASDAQ: NRSN), a biotechnology firm focusing on neurodegenerative diseases, has presented data from its Phase 2b PARADIGM study of PrimeC at the American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting. The study indicated not only positive clinical outcomes but also a favorable trend in Neurofilament (NfL) biomarker levels.
On Wednesday, Merit Cudkowicz, MD, Chair of Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital, delivered the findings, which confirmed the previously released topline data. PrimeC, an oral drug candidate for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), demonstrated a statistically significant 37% slowing of disease progression, as measured by the ALSFRS-R score (p=0.03), in the per-protocol population.
Additionally, the study noted promising trends in biomarkers, particularly NfL, which may serve as indicators of neurological damage.
Alon Ben-Noon, CEO of NeuroSense, expressed satisfaction with the validation of the data by the American Academy of Neurology and is optimistic about PrimeC's potential in treating ALS.
NeuroSense is dedicated to developing therapies for neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease, which currently have limited treatment options. The company's strategy involves combined therapies that target multiple disease pathways.
