World-Renowned Alzheimer's Expert Prof. Steven Arnold Joins NeuroSense SAB

Alzheimer's Clinical and Biomarker Outcomes Expected in Q1 2026

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NeuroSense Therapeutics Ltd. (NASDAQ: NRSN) ("NeuroSense"), a late-clinical stage biotechnology company developing novel treatments for severe neurodegenerative diseases, today announced that Prof. Steven E. Arnold, a world-renowned Alzheimer's disease expert and Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School, has joined the Company's Scientific Advisory Board. Prof. Arnold brings decades of experience in neurodegenerative disease research, biomarker-driven clinical development, and translational neuroscience, further strengthening NeuroSense's scientific leadership as it advances PrimeC in ALS and expands its Alzheimer's disease program.

"Prof. Arnold's depth of experience in biomarker-driven clinical development and translational neuroscience aligns closely with how we are advancing our programs," said Alon Ben-Noon, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of NeuroSense. "His perspective will be valuable as we continue to execute across both Alzheimer's disease and ALS."

"PrimeC's multi-target mechanism addresses biological pathways that are highly relevant to Alzheimer's disease," said Prof. Steven E. Arnold. "I look forward to reviewing the forthcoming clinical and biomarker data and to contributing to the program as it moves forward."

NeuroSense recently concluded its proof-of-concept Alzheimer's disease study (RoAD), with top-line results demonstrating a favorable safety and tolerability profile. Clinical and biomarker outcomes from the study are expected in the first quarter of 2026. 

About Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and the leading cause of dementia worldwide, affecting more than 30 million people globally. AD is characterized by memory loss, cognitive decline, and behavioral changes, and currently has no cure. Existing therapies provide only limited symptomatic relief, leaving a significant unmet need for disease-modifying treatments that can slow or halt progression. Given the complexity of AD, approaches that target multiple disease mechanisms simultaneously, such as PrimeC, hold potential to deliver meaningful therapeutic advances for patients and their families.

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 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.
