Prof. Shefner is a board certified in neurologist by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, and he specializes in ALS and neuromuscular disorders. As co-founder of the Northeast ALS Clinical Trials Consortium (NEALS), he has developed numerous outcome measures for clinical trials, published more than 200 peer-reviewed papers, and is a member of the Editorial Boards of the ALS Journal and Neurotherapeutics.

About the Conference

Cantor Fitzgerald's Neurology & Psychiatry Conference, led by Dr. Charles Duncan, Cantor's Managing Director and central nervous system (CNS) expert analyst, will feature a day of interactive discussions, one-on-ones, and panel presentations. The conference will be focused on neuro-innovators, who are engaged in development and commercialization of therapeutics for high unmet need indications in the neurology and psychiatry industries. The event will be moderated by the Cantor Healthcare Team and CEOs from leading companies in the neurodegenerative space will be participating.

About PrimeC

PrimeC, NeuroSense's lead drug candidate, a combination therapy for ALS, 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. PrimeC's upgraded formulation, which is a unique extended-release tablet, designed to maximize the synergism between the compounds, is now being evaluated in a Phase IIb clinical trial, PARADIGM, for the treatment of ALS.

About PARADIGM

NeuroSense's Phase IIb PARADIGM trial is currently enrolling patients to assess PrimeC's efficacy, as well as safety and tolerability, in people living with ALS. The study is randomizing 69 people living with ALS in a 2:1 ratio to receive PrimeC or placebo, respectively. Primary endpoints of the study include assessment of ALS biomarkers, evaluation of clinical efficacy, improvement in quality of life, as well as safety and tolerability. Topline data are expected in mid 2023.

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 U.S. alone, with an annual disease burden of $1 billion. The number of patients with ALS is expected to grow 24% by 2040 in the U.S. and EU.

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.
