NeuroSense Therapeutics, an Israeli clinical stage drug development company specializing in treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, revealed the results of its Phase 2b trial for the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) drug candidate PrimeC. Despite achieving primary safety and tolerability as well as secondary clinical efficacy endpoints, the announcement triggered a sharp decline in the company’s stock value on Wall Street.
The company’s share price experienced a notable drop of 24.16% on Tuesday, closing at $1.13 by the end of the market session. The decline continued in premarket trading, witnessing an additional 17.79% dip. This stark decrease follows a previous uptrend in NeuroSense Therapeutics’ stock price after the company disclosed its intention to release the ALS trial results in early December. Analysts attribute the sudden decline to overly optimistic market expectations that now appear unrealistic in light of the revealed trial results.
At the time of this publication, Neurosense Therapeutics Ltd stock (MRSN) has witnessed a decline.

NeuroSense Therapeutics’ recent stock performance reflects the volatile nature of investor sentiment:
– 5 Day: -30.55%

Despite these fluctuations, the company remains steadfast in its commitment to discovering and developing innovative treatments for patients grappling with neurodegenerative diseases. NeuroSense has entered into a transfer agreement with Biogen, a prominent player in the biopharmaceutical industry. Within this agreement, Biogen is set to investigate how PrimeC influences the levels of plasma neurofilamen—a protein shed by damaged neurons—in ALS patients participating in the Phase 2b clinical trial of NeuroSense Therapeutics.
Biogen is not only funding the study but is also overseeing its analysis. The collaboration is anticipated to yield additional results slated for publication in January. Following the release of these findings, Biogen will make a crucial decision on whether to exercise its rights for further development of PrimeC as an ALS treatment.
Alon Ben Nun, the founder of NeuroSense, commented on the recent developments, stating, “We expect a meeting with the FDA in order to examine the best way to move forward and also expect to have talks with our strategic partners who share our vision for the treatment.” The company remains optimistic about the future and is actively engaging with regulatory authorities and partners to navigate the next steps in the development and potential commercialization of PrimeC.
As the market absorbs the implications of the Phase 2b trial results, stakeholders will be closely monitoring NeuroSense Therapeutics’ interactions with regulatory agencies and strategic partners. The upcoming discussions with the FDA and potential collaborations with partners are pivotal steps in determining the trajectory of PrimeC as a viable ALS treatment, and investors will be keenly observing how the company addresses and navigates the current challenges.
