EX-99.1 2 ea184847ex99-1_scisparc.htm SCISPARC ANNOUNCES INITIATION OF RANDOMIZED PHASE IIB CLINICAL TRIAL OF ITS PROPRIETARY SCI-110 FOR TOURETTE SYNDROME

 

Exhibit 99.1

 

SciSparc Announces Initiation of Randomized Phase IIb Clinical Trial of its Proprietary SCI-110 for Tourette Syndrome

Initiation of trial to take place at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, the Israeli clinical trial site

TEL AVIV, Israel, Sept. 07, 2023 (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 the initiation of its Phase IIb Clinical Trial for its proprietary SCI-110 for the treatment of Tourette Syndrome (“TS”) at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center in Israel (“Sourasky”).

The trial is based on the positive data results received from the single arm Yale School of Medicine study using SCI-110 for TS.

"The initiation of our Phase IIb Clinical Trial at Sourasky, the Israeli site, is a major milestone towards commercializing our proprietary SCI-110 for TS patients. TS in adults can be a debilitating disorder for which current treatments result in limited benefits. Encouraged by the results seen in the Phase IIa study at Yale School of Medicine, we look forward to continuing clinical research of the treatment regimen in this double-blind randomized trial," said SciSparc’s Chief Executive Officer, Oz Adler. "This is an important area of growth for the Company, alongside the Company’s other proprietary platforms, including SCI-110 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease and agitation and SCI-210 for children suffering from autism spectrum disorder."

The Phase IIb clinical trial will be conducted at three global leading centers of excellence: the Yale Child Study Center at the Yale School of Medicine in Connecticut, USA, the Hannover Medical School in Hannover, Germany, and at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center in Israel. The Company has already secured the Institutional Review Board approvals from all three clinical sites, the Israeli Ministry of Health's approval for the clinical trial at Sourasky, and approval from the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices in Germany for conducting the trial at the Hannover Medical School.

The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of SciSparc's proprietary drug candidate SCI-110 in adult patients (between 18 and 65 years of age) using a daily oral treatment. The patients will be randomized at a 1:1 ratio to receive either SCI-110 or a SCI-110-matched placebo. The primary efficacy objective of the trial will be to assess tic severity change using the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale, the most commonly used measure in clinical trials of this kind, as a continuous endpoint at week 12 and week 26 of the double-blind phase compared to baseline. The primary safety objective of the trial is to assess absolute and relative frequencies of serious adverse events for the entire population and, separately, for the SCI-110 and placebo groups.

EX-99.2 3 ea184847ex99-2_scisparc.htm SCISPARC GRANTED 180-DAY EXTENSION BY NASDAQ TO REGAIN COMPLIANCE WITH MINIMUM BID REQUIREMENT

 

Exhibit 99.2

 

SciSparc Granted 180-Day Extension by Nasdaq to Regain Compliance with Minimum Bid Requirement

No Immediate Effect on Nasdaq Listing or Trading of the Company’s Ordinary Shares

TEL AVIV, Israel, Sept. 07, 2023 (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 received a notification letter from Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the Company has been granted an additional 180-day compliance period, or until March 4, 2024 to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price rule.

Nasdaq’s determination is based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period and if necessary, by effecting a reverse stock split.

In a notification letter dated March 8, 2023, Nasdaq had informed the Company that, based on the previous 30 consecutive business days, the Company’s ordinary shares no longer met the minimum $1.00 bid price per share requirement. Therefore, in accordance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rules, the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until September 5, 2023, to regain compliance.

If at any time before March 4, 2024, the closing bid price of the Company’s ordinary shares is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Company will regain compliance with this Nasdaq rule and this matter will be closed.

This current notification from Nasdaq has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s ordinary shares, which will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SPRC.”
