  • 60-patient enrollment target met plus 12% over-enrollment; top-line Phase 2a results expected to be presented during the European Sleep Research Society Congress in September 2022
  • Nearly 90% of patients completing the Phase 2a trial to date have rolled over into the open label extension (OLE) study
  • Patients in the OLE study (both NT1 and NT2) remain on Quilience monotherapy, without any additional background stimulant, wake promoting or anti-cataplectic treatment; several patients on Quilience treatment for up to 6 months

ZURICH, SWITZERLAND / ACCESSWIRE / June 2, 2022 / NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd. (NASDAQ:NLSP),(NASDAQ:NLSPW) ("NLS" or the "Company"), a Swiss clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of innovative therapies for patients with rare and complex central nervous system disorders, announces that its Phase 2a clinical trial for Quilience in the treatment of narcolepsy is now fully enrolled, with top-line results anticipated to be presented at a symposium during the European Sleep Research Society Congress (ESRS), being held September 27-30, 2022 in Athens, Greece. Additionally, the Company reports that enrollment and ongoing patient dosing in its OLE study for Quilience monotherapy continue to exhibit favorable trends.

NLS Pharmaceutics AG, Wednesday, May 4, 2022, Press release picture

"With patient enrollment now complete, we remain on track to report top-line efficacy and safety results from our Phase 2a narcolepsy trial for Quilience during the ESRS conference in late September," said Alex Zwyer, Chief Executive Officer of NLS Pharmaceutics. "I believe that the over-enrollment of the trial demonstrates the high interest in our novel Mazindol ER formulation, as enrollment has significantly accelerated since we reported our positive interim results at the World Sleep Congress in March 2022. As we continue to execute on completing this trial, we are also continuing to work with our financial advisor to evaluate potential strategic partnerships and opportunities to bring Quilience to patients as quickly as possible."

About NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd.

NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd. is a Swiss clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company led by an experienced management team with a track record of developing and repurposing product candidates to treat rare and complex central nervous system disorders. The Company's lead product candidate, Quilience®, is a proprietary extended-release formulation of Mazindol (Mazindol ER) and is being developed for the treatment of narcolepsy, and potentially other sleep-wake disorders such as idiopathic hypersomnia. Mazindol is a triple monoamine reuptake inhibitor and partial Orexin-2 Receptor agonist, which was used for many years to treat patients diagnosed with narcolepsy in compassionate use programs. A Phase 2a clinical trial evaluating Quilience® in adult subjects suffering from narcolepsy is currently ongoing in the United States. Previously, NLS successfully completed a Phase 2 study in the U.S. evaluating Nolazol® (Mazindol Controlled-Release) in adult subjects suffering from ADHD. The study met all primary and secondary endpoints and Nolazol® was well-tolerated. Quilience® has received Orphan Drug Designations both in the U.S. and in Europe for the treatment of narcolepsy. Up to 1/3 of narcoleptic patients are also diagnosed with ADHD. EAPs have great potential to benefit all stakeholders involved, from the patient who receives the medicine early, to the pharmaceutical company who provides it. Although EAPs can represent a significant undertaking, companies who invest in them should see considerable benefit in terms of launch preparedness, relationship building and market penetration.
