2025 marked transition of PrimeC into a late-stage clinical asset with FDA-cleared Phase 3 program in ALS

 

Statistically significant survival benefit demonstrated, including 65% reduction in risk of death and >14-month median survival advantage

 

Results published in JAMA Neurology, providing high-level peer-reviewed validation of clinical and biological activity

 

·Advancing toward key regulatory milestones with planned pre-NDS meeting in Canada and near-term Alzheimer’s readout

 

 

 

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 31, 2026 – NeuroSense Therapeutics Ltd. (Nasdaq: NRSN) (“NeuroSense” or the “Company”), a late-stage clinical biotechnology company developing treatments for severe neurodegenerative diseases, today reported its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025 and provided a business update.

 

“2025 was a transformational year for NeuroSense, as we advanced PrimeC from a successful Phase 2b program into a late-stage clinical asset with a clear regulatory path forward,” said Alon Ben-Noon, Chief Executive Officer of NeuroSense. “As we entered 2026, we further strengthened our clinical and scientific foundation with statistically significant survival data and publication of our results in JAMA Neurology. Together, these milestones position PrimeC as a differentiated therapeutic candidate with the potential to meaningfully impact people with ALS and potentially other neurodegenerative diseases.”

 

Business Highlights from 2025

 

2025 marked a transformative year for NeuroSense, as the Company advanced PrimeC from a successful Phase 2b program into a late-stage clinical asset with a clearly defined regulatory and development pathway. Results from the Phase 2b PARADIGM study demonstrated approximately 33% slowing in disease progression over 18 months, alongside a substantial reduction in ALS-related complications. During the year, NeuroSense further strengthened its data package through additional biomarker analyses, including microRNA data, supporting the biological activity of PrimeC, supporting PrimeC’s potential as a disease-modifying therapy.

 

The Company also completed commercial-scale manufacturing and advanced its regulatory strategy, including engagement with Health Canada and ongoing partnership discussions.

 

Importantly, in November 2025, NeuroSense received FDA clearance to initiate the PARAGON Phase 3 trial in ALS, marking a key inflection point in the Company’s development trajectory.

 

NeuroSense also reported early signals of biological activity and statistically significant reductions in key biomarkers associated with Alzheimer’s disease, supporting broader potential across neurodegenerative diseases.

 

 

 

Recent Developments and First Quarter 2026 Highlights

 

Since the beginning of 2026, NeuroSense has continued to strengthen PrimeC’s position through significant clinical and scientific milestones. The Company reported statistically significant survival data from its Phase 2b study, demonstrating a 65% reduction in the risk of death and a greater than 14-month median survival benefit.

 

Further reinforcing the strength of its clinical package, results from the PARADIGM trial were published in JAMA Neurology, highlighting meaningful clinical outcomes and biological activity, including biomarker changes consistent with the proposed mechanism of action.

 

NeuroSense also expanded its scientific visibility through presentations at leading international conferences and strengthened its intellectual property portfolio with newly granted patents in the United States and internationally. In addition, the Company enhanced its Scientific Advisory Board with leading experts to support continued development in ALS and Alzheimer’s disease.

 

Upcoming Expected Milestones

 

Additional biomarkers readouts from PARADIGM

 

Readouts from the Phase 2 Alzheimer’s study

 

Planned pre-NDS meeting with Health Canada in May 2026

 

Potential NDS submission in Canada, subject to regulatory feedback

 

Continued preparation for initiation of the Phase 3 PARAGON trial in ALS

 

Financial Results

 

Research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $6.2 million and $5.7 million, respectively. The increase of $0.5 million, or 8.8%, was mainly attributed to an increase in share-based payment expenses and increase in our salaries and social benefits expenses which were partly offset by a decrease of our expenses to subcontractors and consultants.

 

General and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $4.9 million and $4.2 million, respectively. The increase of $0.7 million, or 16.6%, was mainly attributed to an increase in share-based compensation.

 

As of December 31, 2025, NeuroSense had cash of approximately $0.2 million.

 

A summary of NeuroSense’s consolidated financial results is included in the tables below.

 

A copy of the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025 has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission at https://www.sec.gov/ and posted on the Company’s investor relations website at https://neurosense.investorroom.com/sec-filings.

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.
