SciSparc-Clearmind Medicine Collaboration Leads to Publication of Application for Innovative Ketamine-Based Combination

TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 29, 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 and rare diseases of the central nervous system, announced today that as part of its ongoing collaboration with Clearmind Medicine Inc. (“Clearmind”) (Nasdaq: CMND) (CSE: CMND) (FSE: CWY), a biotechnology company focused on discovery and development of novel psychedelic-derived therapeutics to solve major under-treated mental health problems, Clearmind has announced the publication of its patent application under the international Patent Cooperation Treaty, for innovative combinations of ketamine and N-acylethanolamines.

SciSparc and Clearmind, as part of their collaboration, research combination treatment comprised of SciSparc’s Palmitoylethanolamide (“PEA”) and Clearmind’s innovative psychedelic molecule, MEAI, for treating addictions, weight loss and mental health disorders. Furthermore, SciSparc and Clearmind are jointly exploring new treatments based on psychedelic molecules and PEA. To date, thirteen patents related to this collaboration have been filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and several other global patent offices.

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (the “FDA”) gave its approval in 2019 for a ketamine derivative as a nasal spray medication, intended for two specific uses in adult patients: treating depression that has not responded to other treatments and alleviating depressive symptoms in those with major depressive disorder who are having suicidal thoughts or exhibiting suicidal behavior.

The approved treatment comes with strict usage guidelines. It must be administered only at certified medical facilities and used alongside an antidepressant medication. After receiving a dose, patients are required to remain at the facility for a two-hour observation period. This allows healthcare providers to monitor for any potentially serious side effects that may occur.

“SciSparc has always been focused on the development of unique and proprietary combinations with PEA, which our research shows can dramatically reduce the number of doses of various active ingredients while maintaining effectiveness and minimizing adverse effects. Ketamine was approved by the FDA for use under close supervision due to its accompanying side effects. Our innovative approach aims to deliver therapeutic benefits to a diverse group of patients with various conditions, while minimizing unwanted adverse effects. We believe this approach could improve treatment outcomes across a broad spectrum of medical needs,” said Oz Adler, Chief Executive Officer of SciSparc.
