Ensysce CEO says ‘highly focused’ on execution of clinical development timeline

Ensysce Biosciences issued a letter to shareholders from CEO Dr. Lynn Kirkpatrick, which read in part, "I want to take this opportunity to thank our shareholders for their continued support in 2022. As you all know, it has been a challenging year in the market and our management team and board, as fellow equity holders, too have been impacted by the turbulence. However, our science is strong as evidenced by the positive clinical data we reported throughout 2022, and we are continuing to develop a new approach to deliver opioid pain relief that we believe will save lives. I am pleased to summarize last year’s events and recap the milestones achieved. During 2022 we made important progress across all of our clinical development programs, accomplishing key milestones that further advance our two lead programs which address opioid abuse and overdose. We hosted a major symposium at a meeting of pain experts, receiving very encouraging feedback on our performance and underlying science. We are highly focused on positioning our technology platforms, TAAP and MPAR as "next generation" opioid products, providing strong efficacy with a unique goal of curbing prescription drug abuse and overdose…Looking ahead, we are highly focused on the continued execution of our clinical development timeline. We expect additional clinical data from our oral HAP study, PF614-104, to be reported in the first quarter of 2023. We will continue our development of PF614-MPARTM, with data expected in the second half of the year. We are also planning regulatory discussions with the FDA to aid our future clinical development plans, and we are aiming to bring PF614 into additional clinical studies by the year end."
