PrimeC New Data to Be Presented at AD/PD™ 2026 Conference

Dr. Christian Lunetta to Present "From PARADIGM to PARAGON: Advancing PrimeC for ALS through Phase 2 Clinical and Biomarker Insights toward a Global Phase 3 Trial"

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NeuroSense Therapeutics Ltd. (NASDAQ: NRSN) ("NeuroSense"), a late-stage clinical biotechnology company focused on developing disease-modifying treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, today announced that Dr. Christian Lunetta will present new data and insights on the development of PrimeC, the company's investigational therapy for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), at the AD/PD™ 2026 International Conference on Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Diseases and Related Neurological Disorders, to be held in Copenhagen, Denmark, on March 19, 2026.

Dr. Lunetta's presentation, titled "From PARADIGM to PARAGON: Advancing PrimeC for ALS through Phase 2 Clinical and Biomarker Insights toward a Global Phase 3 Trial," will take place during the symposium "Mechanisms and Therapeutics in the ALS-FTD Spectrum (SOD-1, TDP-43, C9ORF72 and TMEM106B)."

The presentation will review key clinical and biomarker findings from the Phase 2b PARADIGM trial, which evaluated PrimeC in people living with ALS. The data provide important insights into disease mechanisms and treatment effects that helped inform the design of the company's global Phase 3 PARAGON trial, currently being advanced to further evaluate PrimeC's safety and efficacy.

"ALS is one of the most complex neurodegenerative diseases, and advancing therapeutic development requires the integration of rigorous clinical research with deeper biological insight," said Dr. Christian Lunetta. "The clinical findings emerging from the PARADIGM trial, together with the expanding biomarker analyses, provide an important scientific foundation as we advance toward the PARAGON Phase 3 study. I look forward to sharing these results with the scientific community at AD/PD 2026 and to contributing, together with fellow investigators, to the next stage of clinical development as we work to advance meaningful therapeutic options for people living with ALS."

"We are deeply appreciative of Dr. Lunetta's role in presenting these findings and of his contribution as part of the clinical investigator community behind this work," said Dr. Shiran Zimri, NeuroSense VP of Research and Development and Canada Country Lead. "The timing of this presentation, The timing of this presentation, coming just days after the publication of the PARADIGM results in JAMA Neurology and at such a highly regarded scientific forum, is especially meaningful. It creates a unique moment where robust, peer-reviewed data can immediately be brought into scientific exchange and critical discussion. For us, this is not only about sharing results, but about engaging the field in a deeper understanding of the clinical and biomarker insights from PARADIGM as we advance with urgency toward our global Phase 3 PARAGON study."

The PARAGON Phase 3 trial is planned as a multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to further evaluate PrimeC's potential to slow disease progression in people living with ALS.

NeuroSense continues active engagement with regulatory authorities to advance PrimeC toward potential marketing authorization.

About NeuroSense

NeuroSense Therapeutics 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.
