NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd. to Present New Data on the Dual Efficacy of Mazindol ER in Fentanyl Reward and Withdrawal at the 2025 ASCP Annual Meeting NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd. announced that it will present new preclinical data on Mazindol ER at the 2025 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Psychopharmacology ("ASCP"). ASCP Annual Meeting will be held at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess in Scottsdale, Arizona from May 27, 2025, to May 30, 2025. NLS intends to present its poster titled, 'Evaluating the Effects of Mazindol on Fentanyl Reward and Dependence in C57BL/6J Mice and Sprague-Dawley Rats (Study KO-943), during the poster session on May 29, 2025, from 11:15 AM to 1:00 PM. The preclinical study to be featured in the poster was conducted by Key-Obs SAS in collaboration with NLS and other European academic institutions. The study results demonstrate that Mazindol significantly reduced both the rewarding effects of fentanyl and the severity of its withdrawal symptoms in validated rodent models. Highlights from Study KO-943: Experiment 1 (Reward/CPP Model): In C57BL/6J mice, Mazindol at 0.5 mg/kg significantly reduced fentanyl-induced conditioned place preference ("CPP"), effectively neutralizing the behavioral reward effects typically observed with fentanyl exposure. Experiment 2 (Withdrawal Model): In Sprague-Dawley rats, Mazindol administered at 0.5 and 1.0 mg/kg dose-dependently reduced fentanyl withdrawal symptoms, including agitation, salivation, and motor disruptions, as measured by the Gellert-Holtzman scale. These findings are supported by results from both reward and withdrawal animal models, including the CPP paradigm in C57BL/6 J mice and naloxone-precipitated withdrawal in Sprague-Dawley mice. Clinical trials, including the planned NLS-6002 study, are needed to validate these results in humans. While standard stimulant and non-stimulant medications approved for ADHD have shown no significant efficacy in addressing opioid withdrawal or reward, Mazindol's ability to reduce both in fentanyl-exposed animals suggests it may offer advantages over conventional treatments. It brings together leading clinicians, researchers, and innovators to present and discuss the latest advances in CNS therapeutics. 공시 • May 02

NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd. Announces Promising Preclinical Results for Parkinson's Disease Treatments NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd. announced preclinical results from multiple in vitro studies targeting alpha-synuclein (a-synuclein), specifically the A53T mutation, that demonstrate the compounds' potential to advance the treatment of Parkinson's Disease (PD). The compounds may be used by NLS pursuant to its existing and previously announced license agreement with Aexon Labs Inc. (Aexon Labs or AEX). Using the "Alpha-Synuclein (a-synuclein) A53T Parkinson's Disease Genetic Cell-Based Agonist Neurite Outgrowth Assay" by Eurofins, various DOXA compounds demonstrated positive effects on neurite outgrowth, a critical parameter of neuronal health and regeneration. Neurite outgrowth, a critical parameter of neuronal health, was measured using high-content imaging systems to determine the efficacy of AEX compounds. Reducing a-synuclein aggregation or promoting its clearance can alleviate its toxic effects on neurons. The effects of AEX compounds on neurite outgrowth as well as their impact on Cathepsin D (CTSD) and Orexin 1 Receptor (OX1R) activities provide insights into their potential to modulate the impact of a-synuclein. Key findings: AEX-23: Its pronounced action as an OX1R agonist combined with positive effects on neurite outgrowth at specific concentrations suggests that it may modulate neuronal health through pathways influencing a-synuclein dynamics, making it a potential therapeutic candidate to improve neuronal connectivity and resilience in PD. AEX-19: Its effects at low concentrations on neurite growth coupled with OX1R agonist activity and a moderate increase in CTSD activity suggest potential neuroprotective benefits in PD. AEX-24: The increase in CTSD activity and agonist activity on OX1R suggests the potential to enhance a-synuclein degradation, highlighting its promising therapeutic impact on PD. AEX-23 and AEX-19, which target OX1R, show promise in modulating the effects of a-synuclein on neurons, offering potential benefits in treating synucleinopathies like PD. AEX-19 and AEX-24 also present intriguing possibilities due to their effects on CTSD activity, suggesting pathways for reducing a-synuclein aggregation. Further in vitro research and in vivo preclinical studies are necessary to elucidate the precise mechanisms, optimize dosing, and evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of these compounds in preclinical and clinical settings. 공시 • Jun 27

NLS Pharmaceutics AG Publication of New Patent Application for Next-Gen Dual Non-Sulfonamide Orexin Receptor Agonists (Doxa) NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd. announced the publication of the latest patent application (PCT/WO2024115797) by Aexon Labs with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). The patent will be used by NLS pursuant to its existing and previously announced license agreement with Aexon Labs. Key Highlights: Innovative Dual Orexin Receptor Agonists: The patent application introduces a completely new series of molecules, licensed to NLS from Aexon Labs, acting primarily as dual orexin receptor agonists (OX1R and OX2R). These multitarget compounds have demonstrated efficacy in vitro, showing potential to not only mitigate narcolepsy symptoms, but also to slow the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. Non-Sulfonamide Compounds: Unlike many current treatments acting as orexin receptor agonists, these innovative non-sulfonamide derivatives have the potential to reduce the risk of side effects and adverse reactions associated with traditional sulfonamide medications. This characteristic may both broaden their potential use and improve patient safety. Mechanism of Action: The new molecules enhance neurotransmitter release and protect neuronal health by modulating orexin receptors (OX1R/OX2R) and integrating neuroinflammation protection through cathepsin H (CTSH) inhibition. This combined action targets both sleep regulation and neurodegeneration, offering the potential for significant therapeutic benefits for patients. Therapeutic Implications: CTSH is involved in proteolytic degradation and antigen presentation, influencing autoimmune responses in narcolepsy. Inhibiting CTSH could protect neuronal cells by disrupting the proteolytic pathway. When combined with dual orexin receptor agonist action, this approach could significantly enhance orexin signaling stability and mitigate symptoms. Neuroprotective strategies focusing on reducing neuroinflammation and modulating immune responses could further improve therapeutic outcomes. Focus on Narcolepsy: These compounds are designed primarily to treat narcolepsy by activating orexin pathways, which are crucial for maintaining wakefulness and regulating sleep patterns. By addressing the core pathology of narcolepsy, these dual orexin receptor agonists provide a novel and effective treatment approach. Application in Neurodegenerative Diseases:Beyond narcolepsy, these multitarget molecules show promise for treating conditions like Parkinson’s disease by targeting neurodegenerative processes such as OX1R and a-synuclein. This represents a significant advancement in developing treatments that could improve quality of life and disease outcomes for patients. Recent Advances and Presentations from NLS Pharmaceutics and Aexon Labs: At Sleep 2024 (Houston, June 1-5), data on selective OX2R agonists highlighted their limitations, including receptor desensitization and reduced efficacy at higher doses. In contrast, a new generation of compounds from Aexon Labs, presented at the 2024 ASCP Annual Meeting (Miami, May 27-31), targets both OX1R and OX2R while also preventing the destruction of orexin cells through an inhibitory effect on CTSH. These multitarget compounds, with their broader affinity, show fewer issues related to high-affinity binding and efficacy loss, suggesting a more stable pharmacological profile and better long-term outcomes. 공시 • May 25

NLS Pharmaceutics Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Notification NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd. ("NLS" or the "Company") announced that it has received a written notice (the "Notice") from Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing set in Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires listed companies to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been granted a period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. The Notice has no immediate effect on the Company's Nasdaq listing or the trading of its common shares or warrants, and during the grace period, as may be extended, NLS' common shares and warrants will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols "NLSP" and "NLSPW", respectively. According to the Notice, the Company has until April 16, 2024 to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. The Company can regain compliance if at any time during this 180 day period the closing bid price of its common shares is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, in which case the Company will be provided with written confirmation of compliance and this matter will be closed. In the event that NLS does not regain compliance after the initial 180 day period, the Company may then be eligible for an additional 180 day compliance period if it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement. In this case, NLS will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, including by implementing a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company cannot demonstrate compliance by the alloted compliance period(s), Nasdaq's staff will notify the Company that its common shares and warrants are subject to delisting. 공시 • Jul 04
NLS Pharmaceutics to Proceed with Phase 3 Clinical Program (AMAZE) for Mazindol ER for the Treatment of Narcolepsy Following FDA Review and IRB Approval of the Full Study Protocol NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd. announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reviewed the full protocol for the NLS-1031 study, part of the Phase 3 program for Mazindol ER, called AMAZE. In addition, the Company announced that the Phase 3 clinical trial protocol to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Mazindol ER in patients with narcolepsy type 1 received approval from the independent Institutional Review Board ("IRB"). The AMAZE Program will encompass two almost-identical double-blind Phase 3 studies (N=50 each) investigating Mazindol ER versus placebo in adult patients with narcolepsy commencing this summer at multiple sites exclusively in the U.S. Based on the FDA's recommendations, both Phase 3 trials will measure the weekly cataplexy episodes as the primary endpoint over 8 weeks of treatment and excessive daytime sleepiness as a secondary objective using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS-SRI) and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Patients who complete these studies will be offered participation in a 12-month open-label extension (OLE) study To be eligible for enrollment into the OLE study, patients must be at least 18 years of age and have been diagnosed with narcolepsy with cataplexy. NLS previously reported on the Phase 2 study results in narcolepsy in which Mazindol ER met all primary and secondary endpoints. Patients treated with Mazindol ER in the randomized Phase 2 trial showed continued improvement after rolling over into the OLE study and patients treated with placebo in the randomized Phase 2 trial and who subsequently received Mazindol ER in the OLE study showed similar efficacy with the Mazindol ER-treated patients in the randomized trial. Data from the Phase 2 studies were presented in early June at SLEEP 2023, the annual meeting of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) and the Sleep Research Society (SRS). An IRB operates under FDA regulations and is an FDA registered constituted group that has been formally designated to review and monitor biomedical research involving human subjects. In accordance with FDA regulations, an IRB has the authority to approve, require modifications (to secure approval), or disapprove research. The purpose of IRB review is to assure, both in advance and by periodic review, that appropriate steps are taken to protect the rights and welfare of humans participating as subjects in the research. To accomplish this purpose, IRBs use a group process to review research protocols and related materials (e.g., informed consent documents and investigator brochures) to ensure the protection of the rights and welfare of human subjects of research. 공시 • Jul 01

NLS Pharmaceutics Announces Positive Safety Data From In Vitro CYP450 and Transporter Mediated Drug-Drug Interaction Studies of Mazindol NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd. announced positive data from five recently completed in vitro drug-drug interaction studies investigating the potential for DDI of mazindol, a triple monoamine reuptake inhibitor and partial orexin-2 agonist, as well as its hydrolyzed metabolite (M6). Typical DDI studies include Cytochrome P450 (CYP), UDP glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) and transporter inhibition and induction studies to evaluate whether mazindol affects the pharmacokinetic (PK) effect of other drugs (mazindol as a "perpetrator"). In addition, in vitro studies are conducted with CYP and transporter substrates to evaluate whether other drugs can affect mazindol PK (mazindol as a "victim"). Following U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines, the in vitro DDI studies were designed to evaluate the drug interaction potential across a wide range of metabolic enzymes and transporters when co-administered with mazindol. The mazindol in vitro studies examined the following: CYP Inhibition in Human Liver Microsomes. CYP Induction in Cultured Human Hepatocytes. CYP and UGT Reaction Phenotyping. UGT Inhibition in Human Liver Microsomes. ATP-binding case (ABC) and solute carrier (SLC) Transporter Inhibition and Substrate Potential in Cells and Vesicles. Results of the in vitro victim studies showed that mazindol is not metabolized by CYPs or UGTs and is not transported by BCRP, OAT1, OAT3 and OCT2. Only the hydrolysis metabolite (but not mazindol) is a P-glycoprotein (Pgp) substrate; thus a clinical DDI study of mazindol is planned to quantify the potential for an increase in the hydrolyzed metabolite (M6) exposure in the presence of a Pgp inhibitor (e.g., Itraconazole). Otherwise, concomitant medications are not expected to affect the PK of mazindol. DDI studies are a standard and necessary step required by the FDA and other regulatory agencies globally for approving a new drug to market. DDI studies help identify potential adverse reactions that may be caused by interactions between multiple drugs, leading to unintended reactions, toxic side effects, or in some cases, a lack of therapeutic efficacy. With the rise in polypharmacy to treat comorbidities, alongside prevalent substance abuse, drug-drug interactions have become a critical factor to consider when treating narcolepsy. Approximately 50% of prescribed drugs currently on the market are known to cause drug interactions with CYP3A4 inhibitors and can lead to side effects. Findings from DDI studies help to inform drug labeling that is then used by healthcare providers to aid in therapeutic decision-making. Currently available medications used to treat narcolepsy can have significant DDI effects which prevent co-administration or require dose adjustments of drugs like hormonal contraceptives, proton-pump inhibitors or anti-epileptic drugs. 공시 • Jun 10

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 79% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$14m free cash flow). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (79% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$12m net loss in 3 years). Market cap is less than US$100m (US$30.6m market cap). 공시 • May 09

NLS Pharmaceutics Announces Completion of Open Label Extension Study with Quilience(R) (Mazindol ER) for the Treatment of Narcolepsy NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd. announced the completion of the POLARIS six-month open-label extension study (NLS-1022) with Mazindol ER in patients with narcolepsy. POLARIS NLS-1022 OLE is an open-label extension clinical study of Mazindol ER in patients with narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) or narcolepsy type 2 (NT2) who completed participation in the previously reported POLARIS NLS-1021 Phase 2 clinical study, a four-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center U.S. clinical study in 67 patients with NT1 or NT2. All patients who completed the POLARIS Phase 2 study were eligible to participate in the OLE and continue once-a-day treatment with Mazindol ER for up to six months as monotherapy (no concomitant wake-promoting or anti-cataplexy treatments). The objectives of the NLS-1022 study are to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of Mazindol ER and to evaluate its long-term therapeutic effect in the treatment of Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS) and cataplexy. Previously shared interim OLE data showed that patients treated with Mazindol ER in the randomized double-blind Phase 2 study continued to improve after rolling into the OLE study and that patients treated with placebo in the randomized Phase 2 study who received Mazindol ER in the OLE study achieved comparable results to patients treated with active drug in the Phase 2 study. Those results demonstrated further improvement in efficacy of Mazindol ER in the treatment of EDS and cataplexy with longer treatment duration as a potential first in class monotherapy. Safety and tolerability of Mazindol ER were shown to be similar between the double-blind and OLE studies. NLS Pharmaceutics plans to have the complete results of the OLE study in the first quarter of 2023 and to present these results at a future scientific meeting. 공시 • Jan 26

NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd. Announces New in Vitro Study Results Demonstrating the Agonist Effect of Mazindol ER At the Orexin-2 Receptor NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd. announced new in vitro study results demonstrating the agonist effect of mazindol ER at the Orexin-2 Receptor (OX2R). Two identical studies measuring differing concentrations of mazindol ER confirmed significant OX2R partial agonist activity at 30µM or higher. Notably, findings show that mazindol ER showed strong OX2R partial agonist activity by cellular and nuclear receptor functional assays. Results showed pEC50 (a logarithm measure of drug potency expressing a concentration that is effective in producing 50% of the maximal response) values of 4.7 to 5 for mazindol on the OX2R, indicating a strong OX2R partial agonist. Orexin, also known as hypocretin, is a neuropeptide that regulates arousal, wakefulness, and appetite. Orexin plays a critical role in regulating the sleep-wake cycle and the most common form of narcolepsy, type 1 (NT1), in which the individual experiences brief losses of muscle tone, known as or cataplexy, is caused by a lack of orexin in the brain due to destruction of the cells that produce it. Mazindol ER is an OX2R partial agonist that was developed to address the loss of orexin signaling in NT1. Currently available treatments for NT1 only address the associated symptoms but not the underlying loss of orexin.

NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd. Pharmaceutics Announces Launch of Paid for Named Patient Program with Mazindol ER for Idiopathic Hypersomnia, a Serious Sleep Disorder with No Approved Treatment Options in Europe NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd. announced that it has launched a paid for Named Patient Program (NPP) for patients suffering from idiopathic hypersomnia (IH). NLS has partnered with Caligor Coghlan Pharma Services, a globally active pharmaceutical company specializing in named patient, expanded access, early access and compassionate use programs. The NPP will provide access to Mazindol ER for the treatment of IH where this medication would not otherwise be available for this indication in certain countries. The NPP for IH was launched in the United Kingdom this week and is expected to expand into other countries over the coming weeks and months. IH is a chronic, neurological disorder that is characterized by excessive sleepiness, an uncontrollable need to sleep or daytime sleepiness that persists for at least three months even with adequate or prolonged night-time sleep. IH affects approximately three in 10,000 people in the European Union (EU). This is equivalent to a total of around 156,000 people. As of November 23, 2022, no therapies are authorised in the EU for the treatment of IH. Patients with IH usually receive advice on lifestyle changes to help regulate their sleeping pattern. NLS' Mazindol ER is an alternative therapeutic option that has been historically used to treat a number of conditions. It is undergoing clinical trials in narcolepsy and other sleep disorders. This NPP will allow physicians to prescribe Mazindol ER off-label for use in treating IH. On November 2,2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) for Mazindol ER for the treatment of IH. Previously, Mazindol ER was granted ODD for IH in Europe on July 21, 2022. 공시 • Nov 15

NLS Pharmaceutics Provides Open Label Extension Study Update for Quilience(R) (Mazindol ER) in the Treatment of Narcolepsy NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd. announces an interim update from its Open Label Extension (OLE) Study for Quilience® (Mazindol ER) in the treatment of narcolepsy. The OLE study offers patients completing the 4-week randomized, double blind (DB) Phase 2 trial for Quilience® the option to receive the drug candidate for an additional 6 months as monotherapy on an open-label basis. Of the 60 patients who completed the randomized controlled Phase 2 trial, 52 patients (or 87% of completers) elected to roll over into the OLE study. Excessive Daytime Sleepiness: For patients treated with Quilience® in the randomized Phase 2 trial, excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) based on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) improved by an additional 1.8 points in the OLE study by the fourth month of treatment (DB and OLE treatment combined). At that timepoint, the mean ESS score for these patients reached 9.2, with lower scores denoting an improvement in the condition (improved wakefulness). Importantly, ESS scores of 10 or below are considered to be typical scores for patients without narcolepsy. As an extension of the 4-week randomized treatment period in the Phase 2 trial, these data indicate that maximum efficacy for EDS with Quilience® is reached at approximately 3 months of treatment. Overall, the mean score for these patients declined by approximately 8.7 points from their baseline levels at the start of the randomized Phase 2 trial to month 3 in the OLE. For patients receiving placebo in the DB Phase 2 trial and rolling over to receive Quilience® in the OLE study, EDS scores declined to levels comparable to those treated with Quilience® in the randomized trial at Week 4. This effect was maintained through month 3 in the OLE study, with EDS scores just above the "normal" range. Weekly Cataplexy Episodes: For patients diagnosed with cataplexy and treated with Quilience® in the randomized Phase 2 trial, the mean number of weekly cataplexy episodes was approximately 8 at the end of the 4-week DB period, down from a baseline level of approximately 17.5 at the beginning of the trial. During the OLE study, mean weekly cataplexy episodes for these patients declined to 2.1, and remained relatively stable in the 2 to 4 range through week 12. For patients with cataplexy receiving placebo in the DB Phase 2 trial, the mean number of weekly cataplexy episodes was approximately 10.9 at the end of the 4-week double-blind period. During the OLE study, these patients, when treated with Quilience®, were able to catch up to previously treated patients, achieving mean weekly cataplexy episodes of 2.7 at 8 weeks of treatment. This favorable effect was maintained for these patients in the 2-5 episodes per week range through week 12. 공시 • Oct 06

Treatment with Quilience® 3mg per day (NLS-2) resulted in a 7.1 point mean reduction from baseline in excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) over the 4-week treatment period based on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), compared to a 3.2 point reduction for placebo (p=0.0081). The two treatment groups separated early and consistently throughout the study period confirming Mazindol ER's rapid onset of action and durable benefit. Total Score Observed by Visit; All Narcolepsy Types; Intent to Treat Patients: For the ESS score, the least squares (LS) means change from baseline to each visit and the standard error (SE) of Quilience® (NLS-2) versus placebo were all statistically significant at week 1 -4.3 (1.13) versus -1.1 (1.06) (p=0.0055), at week 2 -4.7 (1.14) versus -1.3 (1.06) (p=0.0035), at week 3 -5.0 (1.18) versus -1.6 (1.09) (p=0.0045), and at week 4 -5.8 (1.23) versus -2.1 (1.14) (-6.26, -1.15; p=0.0045). The treatment arms were balanced in terms of patient demographics, baseline levels, and disease characteristics. Quilience® was well-tolerated and no safety concerns were identified. No serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported. With regard to the reduction in cataplexy attacks in narcolepsy Type 1 patients (NT1), a key secondary endpoint, Quilience® consistently outperformed placebo at all time points. In the trial's open label extension (OLE) study, 85% of patients including those with NT1, elected to rollover and receive Quilience® for up to 6 months as a monotherapy. NLS plans to release interim results from the OLE study before year-end and announce final results in the first quarter of 2023. NLS will host a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) Event on September 30, 2022 to review the top-line Phase 2a results. The KOL Event will also feature study investigators and an independent practitioner that will discuss the clinical results and offer perspectives on the potential for Quilience to treat patients with both NT1 and narcolepsy type 2 (NT2). A Question-and-Answer session will follow the presentation of the results and KOL discussion. About the Phase 2a trial (NLS-1021): NLS-1021 is a multi-center, randomized, prospective Phase 2a clinical trial evaluating Quilience® (Mazindol ER) as a once-daily monotherapy for the treatment of EDS and cataplexy, the primary symptoms of narcolepsy. The trial was designed to enroll 60 patients diagnosed with NT1 or NT2 to receive treatment with either Quilience® up to 3mg once daily for 28 days, or placebo. A total of 67 patients were enrolled and randomized 1:1 into each treatment arm. The primary endpoint of the trial is the change from baseline in EDS as measured by the ESS, and a key secondary endpoint is the change from baseline in mean weekly number of cataplexy attacks in the subset of patients with cataplexy. Patients completing the 4-week clinical study period were eligible to enroll in an open label extension study (NLS-1022), where each patient was given the option to receive Quilience® monotherapy for up to an additional 6 months. 공시 • Sep 09

NLS Pharmaceutics AG Announces Early Access Program (EAP) Allowing Patients with Idiopathic Hypersomnia to Receive Treatment with Mazindol ER NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd. announced that it has entered into an agreement with Caligor Coghlan Pharma Services (CCPS) to administer a Named Patient Program enabling European patients with Idiopathic Hypersomnia (IH) to have pre-approval access to treatment with the company's novel Mazindol ER formulation. CCPS will provide Mazindol ER under this program, in which physicians can prescribe Mazindol ER to patients who are not receiving adequate relief from currently approved IH treatments. NPPs involve pre-approval access to drugs in response to requests by physicians on behalf of specific, or "named," patients before those medicines are licensed in the patient's home country. Without this NPP, Mazindol ER would not otherwise be available to patients suffering from IH in participating countries. The key objectives of the NPP are (i) to provide access to Mazindol ER for people suffering from IH and develop groups of physicians and patients who utilize this treatment option to manage the symptoms of IH, and (ii) to raise awareness of Mazindol ER in the IH community as a potential treatment option and alternative to current therapies. The health authority in each country where the NPP is available is responsible for the national regulations governing the pre-approval access to investigational products. Processes for obtaining approval, documentation, monitoring and reporting requirements are some of the aspects that may differ from country to country. NLS will support physicians requesting named patient access in those countries where the NPP is available. Subject to required approvals, the NPP is expected to open in the coming months in the following countries: UK, France, Italy, Sweden, Belgium, Netherlands and Switzerland. NLS and CCPS plan to expand the NPP into other countries over time. 공시 • Feb 08
NLS Pharmaceutics to Present Interim Top-Line Data for Quilience® (Mazindol ER) in Patients with Narcolepsy at the World Sleep Congress in March 2022 NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd. announced that it will present interim top-line data from its Phase 2a clinical trial evaluating its lead product candidate, Quilience® (Mazindol ER), for the treatment of narcolepsy at this year’s World Sleep Congress (World Sleep 2022), taking place in Rome, Italy March 11-16, 2022. The data will be presented and discussed during a symposium sponsored by NLS at World Sleep 2022. While retaining the Phase 2a trial’s double-blind design, the presentation will provide an interim analysis on mean Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) scores, the trial’s primary endpoint, comparing patients treated with Quilience and patients on placebo. Additionally, the presentation will feature interim safety and tolerability data for patients that have completed the randomized portion of the trial. Information on the Open Label Extension (OLE) study, whereby patients completing the randomized double-blind portion of the trial may elect to receive treatment with Quilience for up to 6 months, is also expected to be discussed. Rigorous standards and screening methods are being applied to ensure high quality cohorts of patients diagnosed with both narcolepsy type 1 (with cataplexy) and type 2 (without cataplexy) in the trial. To date, 36 patients have been enrolled in the Phase 2a trial and NLS expects to complete the 60-patient trial in the second quarter of 2022. 공시 • May 19
NLS Pharmaceutics Announces New Study Data Confirming Mazindol's Unique Orexin Pathway Activation for Treating Narcolepsy NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd. announced new study data which support the mechanism of action for mazindol, the active compound in the company's lead product candidate to treat narcolepsy, Quilience®. Narcolepsy is caused by a deficiency in orexin, a neuropeptide that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. The new data confirm mazindol's Orexin-2 receptor (OX2R) agonist activity. In the pre-clinical study conducted by the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Lausanne and sponsored by NLS, mice that were genetically modified not to express OX2R (Knock-Out mice) and Wild-Type mice (normal mice) were investigated for psychostimulant effects when mazindol was administered. The study demonstrated that Knock Out mice were 70% less sensitive to mazindol compared to normal mice, confirming mazindol's potent activity as an OX2R agonist. Ongoing studies sponsored by the company are intended to further confirm and extend this finding to the wake-promoting and anti-cataplexy effects of mazindol, which have been observed in human studies and in clinical practice when the drug was prescribed to treat narcolepsy in compassionate use programs. NLS believes that the new data also support prior in-vitro data from studies conducted by the company demonstrating the partial binding affinity of mazindol to OX2R, which NLS believes is a key pathway that mediates mazindol's stimulant-like effects. Mazindol is a scheduled IV controlled substance unrelated to amphetamine salts, which are highly regulated and have restricted use. 공시 • May 02
