On June 11, 2026, NeuroSense Therapeutics Ltd. announced that the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) has granted Korean Patent Number 10-2969898. This patent covers the composition of PrimeC, the company’s lead oral drug candidate for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The granted claims encompass PrimeC’s proprietary tablet formulation, manufacturing process, pharmacokinetic characteristics, and pharmaceutical use in ALS.
