(NASDAQ:MIRA), a preclinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing innovative therapies for neurologic and neuropsychiatric disorders, today announced that new preclinical data on its lead development product, Ketamir-2, will be presented at the 18th Annual Pain Therapeutics Summit, taking place on October 28-29, 2024, in Boston, MA (the \"Summit\"). The presentation, entitled \"Selective NMDA Receptor Modulation: The Superior Efficacy of Ketamir-2 in Neuropathic Pain Treatment,\" will showcase the breakthrough finding that Ketamir-2 achieved a complete reversal of neuropathic pain in preclinical models.The Summit is a leading forum for researchers, clinicians, and industry experts to discuss innovative solutions in pain management. MIRA Pharmaceuticals' participation highlights its commitment to addressing critical unmet medical needs in neuropathic pain, a chronic and debilitating condition with limited treatment options.Neuropathic Pain and Ketamir-2's Promising ResultsNeuropathic pain, caused by nerve damage or dysfunction, remains a major challenge in pain management due to the limited efficacy and significant side effects of current therapies. Ketamir-2 a novel oral Ketamine analog, selectively targets the PCP site of the NMDA receptor, offering enhanced efficacy with fewer side effects compared to ketamine.In preclinical studies using the Chung model of neuropathic pain, Ketamir-2 given orally, demonstrated superior efficacy compared to ketamine, achieving 100% reversal of pain responses, representing a full normalization of the response. These findings underscore Ketamir-2's potential as a breakthrough therapy for neuropathic pain, providing more consistent pain relief with reduced risk of adverse effects.Dr. Itzchak Angel, Chief Scientific Advisor of MIRA, who will be presenting the data at the Summit, commented:\"The data from our preclinical studies on Ketamir-2 are truly groundbreaking. Achieving a full normalization of response of neuropathic pain in our model suggests that Ketamir-2 has the potential to significantly outperform existing treatments, offering a new level of relief for patients suffering from chronic neuropathi...
