Rhea-AI Filing Summary

NeuroSense Therapeutics filed a Form 6-K to highlight a new Australian patent grant for its lead drug candidate PrimeC. The Australian Patent Office granted Patent No. 2022370513, covering compositions combining ciprofloxacin and celecoxib, extending patent protection for PrimeC in Australia through October 2042 and reinforcing a previously granted U.S. patent.

PrimeC is a proprietary fixed-dose, extended-release oral formulation designed to deliver ciprofloxacin and celecoxib in a synchronized way, targeting multiple disease pathways in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and potentially Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative conditions. NeuroSense describes PrimeC as Phase 3-ready in ALS, following positive Phase 2b results and FDA clearance of a pivotal Phase 3 protocol.

The company frames this Australian patent as part of a broader global intellectual property strategy intended to support the long-term development and potential commercialization of PrimeC across major markets.

Insights

NeuroSense secures long-dated Australian patent on PrimeC, reinforcing its global ALS IP position.

The company reports that IP Australia granted Patent No. 2022370513 covering PrimeC’s ciprofloxacin–celecoxib composition, with coverage extending through October 2042. This complements an already granted U.S. patent and supports an exclusivity strategy around its lead ALS candidate.

NeuroSense describes PrimeC as a fixed-dose, extended-release oral combination engineered to provide coordinated delivery across several ALS-related pathways, including neuroinflammation, iron dysregulation and miRNA dysregulation. It characterizes the asset as Phase 3-ready in ALS, citing positive Phase 2b results and FDA clearance of a pivotal Phase 3 protocol.

The update is strategic rather than financial, emphasizing patent duration and geographic breadth rather than revenues or deals. Actual commercial impact will depend on future clinical outcomes in ALS and Alzheimer’s disease and on regulatory decisions described as subject to inherent uncertainties and risks.

NeuroSense Expands Global IP Protection Strategy With Granted Australian Patent Covering PrimeC Composition

 

Strengthens Global IP Portfolio for PrimeC Through 2042

 

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NeuroSense Therapeutics Ltd. (Nasdaq: NRSN) (“NeuroSense”), a late-clinical stage biotechnology company developing novel treatments for severe neurodegenerative diseases, today announced that the Australian Patent Office (IP Australia) has granted Australian Patent No. 2022370513, entitled “Compositions Comprising Ciprofloxacin and Celecoxib,” representing another strategic step in the continued expansion of the Company’s global intellectual property protection for PrimeC.

 

The granted Australian patent, following prior approval of the corresponding U.S. patent (12,097,185), further expands NeuroSense’s patent protection across key global markets and reinforces the Company’s exclusivity strategy for PrimeC, with patent coverage extending through October 2042. NeuroSense continues to strengthen the company’s global intellectual property estate and to support the long-term development and potential commercialization of PrimeC in ALS, Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative indications.

 

“Securing patent protection in Australia, in addition to the already granted patent in the US, is an important step in executing our global IP protection strategy for PrimeC,” said Alon Ben-Noon, Chief Executive Officer of NeuroSense. “As we advance PrimeC toward pivotal development and potential commercialization, building a broad, durable IP estate across major jurisdictions is central to supporting long-term value creation.”

 

PrimeC is a proprietary fixed-dose oral therapy combining ciprofloxacin and celecoxib in a synchronized, extended-release formulation specifically engineered to deliver both agents in a coordinated manner - a key differentiator versus simple co-administration. The formulation enables consistent exposure across multiple disease pathways implicated in ALS, including neuroinflammation, iron dysregulation, and miRNA dysregulation, supporting a multi-target disease-modifying approach.

 

PrimeC is Phase 3-ready in ALS, following positive Phase 2b PARADIGM results and FDA clearance of the pivotal Phase 3 protocol.

 

About NeuroSense

 

NeuroSense Therapeutics, Ltd. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing treatments for patients suffering from debilitating neurodegenerative diseases. NeuroSense believes that these diseases, which include amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, among others, represent one of the most significant unmet medical needs of our time, with limited effective therapeutic options available for patients to date. Due to the complexity of neurodegenerative diseases and based on strong scientific research on a large panel of related biomarkers, NeuroSense’s strategy is to develop combined therapies targeting multiple pathways associated with these diseases.

About PrimeC

 

PrimeC, NeuroSense’s lead drug candidate, is a novel extended-release oral formulation composed of a unique fixed-dose combination of two FDA-approved drugs: ciprofloxacin and celecoxib. PrimeC is designed to synergistically target several key mechanisms of ALS and AD, that contribute to neuron degeneration, inflammation, iron accumulation and impaired ribonucleic acid (“RNA”) regulation to potentially inhibit the progression of ALS and AD.

 

About ALS

 

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”) is an incurable neurodegenerative disease that causes complete paralysis and death within 2-5 years from diagnosis. Every year, more than 5,000 people are diagnosed with ALS in the U.S. alone, with an annual disease burden of $1 billion. The number of people living with ALS is expected to grow by 24% by 2040 in the U.S. and EU.

 

About Alzheimer’s Disease

 

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and the leading cause of dementia worldwide, affecting more than 30 million people globally. AD is characterized by memory loss, cognitive decline, and behavioral changes, and currently has no cure. Existing therapies provide only limited symptomatic relief, leaving a significant unmet need for disease-modifying treatments that can slow or halt progression. Given the complexity of AD, approaches that target multiple disease mechanisms simultaneously, such as PrimeC, hold potential to deliver meaningful therapeutic advances for patients and their families.
