This method will be integrated into the development of NeuroSense’s prime candidate for ALS treatment, PrimeC.

NeuroSense recently announced positive top-line data from the Phase IIb PARADIGM clinical trial’s six-month double-blind segment, evaluating PrimeC in individuals with ALS.

The results indicated a statistically significant reduction in disease progression in the per-protocol population treated with PrimeC versus placebo.

NeuroSense CEO Alon Ben-Noon stated: “We believe this collaboration could be a game-changer for the ALS and neurodegeneration field, as findings in such biomarkers may advance early diagnosis and treatment, as well as expedite the regulatory pathway for new treatments for the millions of people who suffer from neurodegenerative diseases.

“Collaborating with Lonza enables us to tap into some of the world’s top experts in exosome-based therapies research to develop another important measure of PrimeC’s efficacy.”

The latest development comes after Lonza and Acumen Pharmaceuticals entered a strategic partnership to further the development of sabirnetug (ACU193), a potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease.
