MIRA Pharmaceuticals Inc. has announced the publication of a manuscript detailing its lead drug candidate, Ketamir-2, in the peer-reviewed journal Frontiers in Pharmacology. The manuscript, authored by Dr. Itzchak Angel, highlights Ketamir-2 as a novel ketamine analog with a differentiated pharmacological profile. Currently undergoing a Phase 1 clinical trial for neuropathic pain, Ketamir-2 has shown no safety concerns, with dose escalation advancing as planned. MIRA aims to initiate a Phase 2a clinical trial by the end of 2025, subject to regulatory approval. The publication underscores Ketamir-2's potential as a safer alternative to ketamine, with a focus on addressing limitations such as poor oral bioavailability and dissociative side effects. Further scientific data submissions and presentations are in preparation to support its clinical development.
