TEL AVIV, Israel, Feb. 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, today announced that it has successfully completed the manufacturing of and delivered its innovative SCI- 210 treatment, in accordance with its initiation of enrollment for the clinical trial at the Soroka Medical Center of pediatric patients who have Autism Spectrum Disorder (“ASD”).
The Company’s proprietary SCI- 210 treatment combines cannabidiol-rich oil (“CBD”) and CannAmide™, SciSparc’s proprietary palmitoylethanolamide-based tablets.
“A clinical trial is a complicated project composed of many little steps- which in turn help ensure successful execution. Having the clinical supply ready on site is the final step before first patient is administered treatment. We are extremely excited to achieve this milestone and are confident in the potential of our treatment to improve patients’ lives by providing them with a more effective and safe treatment. Our unique technology allows us to use lower doses of the active agent, which leads to increased safety without harming its effectiveness” said SciSparc’s Chief Executive Officer, Oz Adler. “We hope that the outcome of this clinical trial will enable the Company to procced with its commercialization of SCI- 210 in Israel.”
The clinical trial will rigorously examine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of SCI- 210, in comparison to CBD monotherapy, for the treatment of ASD. Designed as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial with cross-over, the clinical trial will span 20 weeks and enroll 60 children. The clinical trial’s primary efficacy endpoints include three rigorous assessments: the Aberrant Behavior Checklist-Community (ABC-C) parent questionnaire; the Clinical Global Impressions-Improvement (CGI-I) scale, administered by healthcare professionals; and the determination of the effective therapeutic dosage.
