Mira Pharmaceuticals, Inc.: MIRA Pharmaceuticals Validates Ketamir-2's Safety Profile With No Adverse Findings, Paving the Way for IND Submission by Year-End

Finanznachrichten News

Strong Safety Profile Validated Across Studies, Setting the Stage for Clinical Trials in Neuropathic Pain

MIAMI, FL / ACCESSWIRE / December 10, 2024 / MIRA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:MIRA), a preclinical-stage pharmaceutical company, proudly announces the successful completion of its current Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) preclinical safety program for Ketamir-2, a novel oral ketamine analog. The results confirm no adverse findings, clearing a critical milestone as the Company progresses toward submitting its Investigational New Drug (IND) application by year-end 2024.

"Our commitment to advancing Ketamir-2 into clinical trials as quickly as possible reflects our strategic focus on generating proof-of-concept data that positions MIRA for a potential M&A transaction or strategic partnership," said Erez Aminov, CEO and Chairman of MIRA. "This milestone demonstrates our ability to execute efficiently and reinforces our dedication to delivering innovative, safe, and effective treatments for patients suffering from neuropathic pain."

The Significance of Safety in Drug Development

Safety is one of the most significant factors influencing the success of drug development and regulatory approval. Industry data shows that nearly 40% of drug failures during clinical development are attributed to safety concerns, making it a primary reason for termination at all stages of research. Additionally, drugs with unresolved safety questions often face post-market challenges, with 30% of FDA-approved drugs receiving post-market safety warnings or label changes.

By demonstrating Ketamir-2's robust safety profile in comprehensive preclinical studies, MIRA has significantly de-risked this critical aspect of drug development. This milestone positions the company for a smoother regulatory pathway and potentially increases the likelihood of successful clinical outcomes.

Highlights of Preclinical Findings:

  • Cardiovascular Safety in Dogs: No adverse effects were noted at therapeutic doses.

  • CNS Assessment in Rats: No significant CNS changes were observed at therapeutic dose levels, confirming a favorable safety profile. Effects in high-dose groups were limited, transient, and non-disruptive.

  • Respiratory Safety in Rats: No respiratory-related effects were noted across all tested doses.

  • 14-Day Toxicology in Dogs: Ketamir-2 was well-tolerated at daily doses up to 200 mg/kg, with no observed adverse effects. This dose established the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL).

  • Ames Test: Ketamir-2 was confirmed to be non-mutagenic, further supporting its safety profile.

Path to Clinical Trials

With the current preclinical safety program successfully completed, MIRA remains on schedule to submit its IND application by the end of 2024. The Phase I clinical trial, set to begin in Q1 2025, is designed to gather critical insights into the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of Ketamir-2 in healthy subjects. Importantly, the trial will include a robust battery of pain tests to evaluate the drug's effects on neuropathic pain and psychosis. These evaluations are expected to provide valuable data by Q2 2025, helping to better understand how Ketamir-2 affects pain in humans prior to initiating Phase IIa trials in patients.

This innovative study design allows for early efficacy data to be gathered in healthy volunteers, providing deeper insights into Ketamir-2's therapeutic potential and optimizing the design of future trials. Building on the Phase I findings, MIRA plans to initiate a Phase IIa proof-of-concept study in Q4 2025, focusing on patients with neuropathic pain. Proof-of-concept results are anticipated by year-end 2025, marking a transformative year as MIRA transitions into a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company.

Powerful Endorsement from Scientific Leadership

"The robust safety data we've generated for Ketamir-2 is nothing short of extraordinary," said Dr. Itzchak Angel, Chief Scientific Advisor at MIRA. "This is a pivotal moment, not just for MIRA, but for the millions of patients suffering from neuropathic pain who are waiting for a safe, non-addictive, and effective treatment. Ketamir-2 represents a groundbreaking step forward in addressing unmet medical needs, and I am confident that it has the potential to redefine treatment paradigms in this space. By strategically designing our Phase I trial to include a comprehensive pain evaluation, we are maximizing the insights we can gain early, positioning us to move into patient trials with a strong understanding of the drug's effects in humans."

A Safer Path to Addressing Unmet Needs

The need for safe, non-addictive treatments for neuropathic pain is pressing, with millions of patients worldwide seeking alternatives to existing therapies that often cause intolerable side effects. By addressing this unmet need with a drug that has a strong safety profile, MIRA aims to set a new standard in neuropathic pain management. Safety validation at this stage also reduces the risk of clinical delays, maximizes resource efficiency, and enhances the opportunity for meaningful collaborations.

Financial and Strategic Position

MIRA believes it has a strong financial position that can potentially ensure the resources necessary to achieve clinical milestones. The Company is actively exploring non-dilutive funding opportunities to accelerate development and maximize the therapeutic impact of Ketamir-2.

About MIRA Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

MIRA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:MIRA) is a pre-clinical-stage pharmaceutical development company with two neuroscience programs targeting a broad range of neurologic and neuropsychiatric disorders. MIRA holds the exclusive U.S., Canadian, and Mexican rights for Ketamir-2, a novel, patent-pending oral ketamine analog under investigation to treat neuropathic pain (NP), treatment-resistant depression (TRD), major depressive disorder with suicidal ideation (MDD-SI), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

MIRA's novel oral pharmaceutical marijuana analog, MIRA-55, is currently under investigation for treating adult patients suffering from anxiety and cognitive decline, often associated with early-stage dementia. If approved by the FDA, MIRA-55 could mark a significant advancement in addressing various neuropsychiatric, inflammatory, and neurologic diseases and disorders.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's scientific review concluded that both Ketamir-2 and MIRA-55 would not be considered controlled substances or listed chemicals under the Controlled Substances Act and its governing regulations.
