NUROSENE LAUNCHES NETRAPLACEBO, AN INNOVATIVE AI TECHNOLOGY TO IMPACT CLINICAL TRIAL SUCCESS RATES IN THE US$94B CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS) THERAPEUTICS MARKET [1]

Earlier this year, it was announced that Dr. Joseph Geraci, Chief Scientific Officer of Nurosene, alongside esteemed researcher Dr. Robert Morlock, received industry recognition from the International Society for CNS Clinical Trials and Methodology (ISCTM) and their 2021 Autumn Conference Distinguished Research Award, for their work on placebo response in mental health. This partnership allows Nurosene to commercialize their research. NetraPlacebo will help pharmaceutical companies and clinical research organizations prevent clinical trial failure where placebo response is a confounding factor. This issue is predominant in CNS diseases including psychiatric illness, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and other neurodegenerative diseases as well as in psychedelic research. This represents a significant market opportunity for Nurosene.

"Clinical trials in CNS diseases are extremely difficult due to the existence of a multitude of subtypes and a high placebo response. Our approach has the potential to allow medications and devices that would otherwise fail, to reach patients that need them most, including psychedelics, traditional drugs, and apps."

~ Dr. Joseph Geraci, Nurosene's Chief Scientific Officer

The earlier research was able to identify a greater proportion of potential placebo respondents even in those with lower levels of disease severity, allowing for more confidence when trying to establish a true signal of efficacy. Further research used to create and validate the NetraPlacebo technology was recently completed with a top pharmaceutical company and will be published shortly. NetraPlacebo represents a unique option in the market for clinical trial optimization. It was developed by and will be made available through Nurosene's wholly owned subsidiary NetraMark Corp. ("NetraMark").

"The PRPS is a carefully designed questionnaire, and when combined with NetraAI, is a unique assessment and platform to identify placebo responses. This is an outcome that has been proven in multiple trials. We can more clearly assess signal versus noise, reduce time to drug approval, and ultimately, get new treatments to patients more quickly and at a lower cost than traditional approaches."

~ Dr. Robert Morlock

"Interest in the research has been significant and the ability to now commercialize it is an important development for us in building our market presence. We are confident that this will have a significant impact for our business and millions of patients and their families worldwide."

~ Mark Smithyes, President NetraMark
