Ensysce Biosciences (NASDAQ:ENSC) launched its 2023 annual report and reiterated the constructive outcomes seen all year long that we now have beforehand reported on. Some highlights:

• Money ended the yr at $1.1 million however since, as we’ve famous, the corporate has added $2.1 million from the train of warrants and, in a separate transaction, added one other $4.7 million.

o Money accessible to scientific stage firms is likely one of the most necessary elements to contemplate and ENSC has confirmed the power to fund its operations on an ongoing foundation, which will increase our confidence that the corporate will have the ability to carry these necessary medicine to the commercialization stage.

• The corporate obtained $2.2 million in Federal grants for 2023, indicating once more the significance of the work that ENSC is doing.

We aren’t going to rehash current reviews which have outlined the constructive check outcomes for PF614 and PF614-MPAR. However, as a reminder, these checks have proven that PF614 can present the much-needed ache reduction that’s presently accessible by way of the extremely abused oxycodone, whereas having abuse resistant properties and lasting longer. Moreover, PF-614-MPAR obtained an FDA grant of Breakthrough Remedy designation, which permits ENSC the chance to speed up scientific packages and commercialization plans.

We’re once more reiterating our perception that the therapies being developed by Ensysce will likely be recreation changers within the ache reduction market and once more counsel that traders take a powerful have a look at ENSC.

PF614-MPAR has been proven in testing to have the potential to supply a lot wanted ache reduction to sufferers and gives protections towards taking too many drugs, which regularly results in debilitating habit. The know-how concerned causes the drug to change into inactive when dosing necessities are exceeded—vastly diminishing the “incentive” sufferers might must take greater than the prescribed dose.

Ensysce Biosciences continues to be one of many firms that we cowl that we imagine most of America would hope is profitable and one we have gotten extra satisfied will obtain its targets. The opioid disaster stays a plague on the American public and is destroying households and whole communities. The Nationwide Institute on Drug Abuse reported greater than 107,000 overdose deaths in 2022—and that doesn’t depend the thousands and thousands of members of the family and buddies impacted by these deaths. Ensysce has extraordinarily promising know-how within the type of PF614 and PF614-MPAR which are abuse resistant, whereas nonetheless offering the much-needed ache reduction that many Individuals want with an extended lasting dose than its bioequivalent OxyContin.

Our confidence within the final approval of those necessary medicine continues to develop as the corporate not too long ago added the BTD designation for PF614-MPAR to the Quick Monitor designation already obtained for PF614 and continues to acquire the financing wanted, as famous above, to proceed the testing course of. Occasions such because the BTD designation can occur shortly and with out discover, illustrating why we now have been suggesting traders look into ENSC earlier than these occasions happen. Main checks are coming within the not-to-distant future, and we imagine, primarily based on the info we’ve seen from earlier checks, that the outcomes will likely be fairly constructive and propel the inventory greater.
