"On October 7, Israel endured an unprecedented brutal attack, a massacre, by heinous terrorists identifying themselves as Hamas. I'm relieved to report that everyone at NeuroSense is safe. However, we are heartbroken by this dreadful event and the number of brutally murdered and abducted innocent civilians. In the face of such terror, NeuroSense's response remains resolute: we will continue to advance the frontiers of science and invest every effort into developing effective neurological treatments for those in desperate need, without hesitation. Resilience and unity are key here, and therefore we are also assisting people in dire need to recover and rebuild," stated Alon Ben-Noon, CEO of NeuroSense. "NeuroSense had a very strong third quarter, as we confidently look ahead to reporting Phase 2b ALS clinical results for PrimeC before the end of the year. The outstanding results from a non-sponsored study of PrimeC in an innovative ALS model further validate the results we've been seeing in our human clinicals and in biomarker and in vitro studies."
