SciSparc Announces Enrollment of the First Five Patients in the Clinical Trial of its Innovative SCI-210 Treatment

 

The clinical trial for SCI-210 is conducted in Israel, after which the Company aims to move forward with the commercialization process of SCI-210, first in the Israeli market

 

TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SciSparc Ltd. (Nasdaq: SPRC) (“Company” or “SciSparc”), a specialty clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focusing on the development of therapies to treat disorders of the central nervous system, today announced that the first five patients have been enrolled and dosed into its ongoing clinical trial in children suffering from autism spectrum disorder (“ASD”) at the Soroka Medical Center in Israel.

 

The double-blind, randomized and placebo-controlled trial uses SciSparc’s proprietary SCI-210, an innovative combination comprising cannabidiol (“CBD”) and CannAmide™ (SciSparc’s novel Palmitoylethanolamide formulation), which is designed to alleviate ASD symptoms. SciSparc will enroll 60 subjects between the ages of five and 18 for 20 weeks, with the purpose of assessing how SCI-210 therapy compares to standard CBD monotherapy in managing symptoms of ASD.

 

The Company’s goal is to sell SCI-210 first in Israel and then in other countries, subject to obtaining the requisite regulatory approvals.

 

The trial has three primary efficacy metrics: the Aberrant Behavior Checklist-Community (ABC-C) parent questionnaire; the Clinical Global Impressions-Improvement (CGI-I) performed by a clinician; and the effective therapeutic dose. The trial was designed in consultation with the National Autism Research Center, the leading research center for autism in Israel.

 

“People of all genders, ethnicities and economic backgrounds can be diagnosed with ASD. Although ASD can be a lifelong disorder, treatments and services can improve a person’s symptoms and daily functioning. Consistent with our mission of improving people’s lives, we are happy with the ongoing pace of enrollment in the SCI-210 trial and expect that this study will generate new scientific data so that others may be better helped in the future,” said Oz Adler, SciSparc’ s Chief Executive Officer.

 

ASD is a condition related to brain development that impacts how a person perceives and socializes with others, causing problems in social interaction and communication. The term “spectrum” in ASD refers to the wide range of symptoms and severity.
