FSD Pharma Inc. announced that its late breaking abstract about Phase 1 first-in-human data on Lucid-MS (Lucid-21-302) was selected for presentation at the upcoming MSMilan 2023 - 9th Joint ECTRIMS-ACTRIMS meeting scheduled for October 11-13, 2023. Lucid-MS is a potential drug candidate for multiple sclerosis (MS) targeting demyelination, the loss of the protective myelin sheath, in the central nervous system. At the ECTRIMS-ACTRIMS meeting, FSD Pharma will present Phase 1 data on a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, single ascending dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of Lucid-21-302 in healthy volunteers.

Current global research efforts in MS are focused on developing treatments to repair damaged myelin, the fatty layer surrounding nerves, and protect them from further damage. While a cure for MS has not yet been found, scientists worldwide continue to work towards finding ways to stop MS progression and its resulting disability. The FSD Pharma team is among the leaders in advancing novel treatments in this space, joining forces with the global research community.
