SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / September 24, 2024 / Ensysce Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENSC) ("Ensysce" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing innovative solutions for severe pain relief while reducing the potential for opioid abuse and overdose, today announced its participation in two upcoming meetings in October 2024.

October 5, 2024: New data will be presented in a poster session in collaboration with Sygnature Discovery at the Society for Neuroscience meeting in Chicago in the session for Addictive Drugs: Drug Tolerance, Dependence, and Toxicity.The poster entitled "Methadone ameliorates the effects of morphine withdrawal in a modified rat model of physical dependence" is the first study of its kind in a pre-clinical model to evaluate the efficacy of novel agents for treating Opioid Use Disorder (OUD).OUD affects 16 million people worldwide and can be attributed to 500,000 deaths each year. OUD is characterized by intense cravings for opioids and severe withdrawal effects if an opioid cannot be found. Methadone is a common agent used to reduce these cravings yet can be abused. OUD has unwanted cardiovascular side effects and due to varied pharmacology can lead to overdose and death. Ensysce has been applying its Trypsin Activated Abuse Protection (TAAP) technology to develop novel methadone analogues with reduced cardiovascular side effects and reduced abuse potential. Sygnature Discovery employs relevant rodent models, knowledge about applicable and sensitive endpoints, and state-of-the-art technologies in the assessment of behavioral effects of novel drug candidates.

October 16, 2024: Dr. Lynn Kirkpatrick, CEO of Ensysce, has been invited as an Expert Speaker at the Formulation & Delivery US 2024 meeting in San Diego, CA to present "TAAP and MPAR - Delivering Prescription Drugs Safely with Added Oral Overdose Protection". The presentation will highlight the versatility of the TAAP and MPAR platforms, and showcase Ensysce's lead products, PF614 and PF614-MPAR. The Fast Track and Breakthrough Therapy designations from the FDA demonstrate the uniqueness of these approaches to deliver effective drugs more safely and efficiently.

Dr. Kirkpatrick said, "The research Ensysce is conducting with Sygnature Discovery is just one demonstration of how the TAAP program can improve an existing effective agent, with the intent of making it safer and improving quality of life. We believe our chemical approach to improve drugs to treat pain, ADHD or OUD will positively impact health and wellbeing."
