SciSparc (Nasdaq: SPRC) has announced the enrollment and dosing of the first five patients in its clinical trial for SCI-210, an innovative treatment for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The trial, conducted at the Soroka Medical Center in Israel, is a double-blind, randomized, and placebo-controlled study involving 60 subjects aged 5-18 over 20 weeks. SCI-210 combines cannabidiol (CBD) with SciSparc's novel CannAmide™ formulation.
The study aims to compare SCI-210 therapy with standard CBD monotherapy in managing ASD symptoms. Primary efficacy metrics include the ABC-C parent questionnaire, CGI-I clinician assessment, and effective therapeutic dose. Following the trial, SciSparc plans to commercialize SCI-210 in Israel and potentially other countries, subject to regulatory approvals.
SciSparc (Nasdaq: SPRC) has signed an Exclusive Patent License Agreement with Polyrizon for the out-licensing of its SCI-160 program for pain treatment.
