Health Canada Pre-NDS Meeting
A pre-New Drug Submission (pre-NDS) meeting with Health Canada has been rescheduled to May 2026.
The decision was made to allow for the inclusion of additional emerging clinical, biomarker and survival data and analyses in the briefing package, which the Company believes will meaningfully strengthen the scientific and clinical foundation supporting PrimeC.
The Company remains focused on advancing PrimeC under the NOC/c pathway in Canada, which is designed to facilitate earlier access to promising therapies addressing serious unmet medical needs.
Alzheimer's Disease Program Update
The Company expects to report clinical and biomarker results from its Alzheimer's study in the coming weeks.
Continued Momentum Across Key Programs
NeuroSense continues to advance its clinical and regulatory strategy for PrimeC, supported by our previously disclosed:
- Statistically significant survival benefit (65% reduction in risk of death)
- Expanding biomarker dataset supporting multi-mechanistic activity
- FDA clearance to initiate the pivotal Phase 3 PARAGON trial in ALS
"As we generated additional valuable data, we believe it is strategic to incorporate these findings and analyses into our regulatory interactions," said Alon Ben-Noon, Chief Executive Officer of NeuroSense. "Our objective is to present the most comprehensive and robust dataset possible to Health Canada, thereby maximizing the likelihood of a constructive and efficient regulatory pathway. We believe this approach positions the Company ahead of several important value inflection points across its ALS and Alzheimer's programs expected in 2026."
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.

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 and AD, that contribute to neuron degeneration, inflammation, iron accumulation and impaired ribonucleic acid ("RNA") regulation to potentially inhibit the progression of ALS and AD.
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 people are diagnosed with ALS in the U.S. alone, with an annual disease burden of $1 billion. The number of people living with ALS is expected to grow by 24% by 2040 in the U.S. and EU.
