The Fort Worth Press - MIRA Pharmaceuticals to Participate in BIO 2025 in Boston and Highlights Ongoing Progress Across Clinical Program

MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / May 28, 2025 / MIRA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq:MIRA) ("MIRA" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics for neurologic, neuropsychiatric, and metabolic disorders, today announced that it will participate in the BIO International Convention 2025, taking place in Boston, MA from June 16-19, 2025. The Company has a full schedule of BIO One-on-One Partnering™ meetings planned as it explores potential licensing, strategic partnerships, and M&A opportunities.

The Company's lead candidate, Ketamir-2, a next-generation oral ketamine analog, is currently undergoing a Phase 1 clinical trial. With the second dosing cohort completed, the Company is now preparing to initiate the third cohort. Building on this momentum, MIRA anticipates initiating a Phase IIa study in neuropathic pain before the end of the year, advancing the development of what the Company believes could be a safe, effective non-opioid alternative for chronic pain management.

In addition, MIRA is advancing a series of preclinical studies with Ketamir-2, including models evaluating its potential in PTSD, as well as a topical formulation aimed at treating localized inflammatory pain. The Company is also finalizing regulatory filings related to its acquisition of SKNY Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("SKNY"), with submission to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) expected in the coming weeks. SKNY-1, SKNY's primary pharmaceutical candidate, is being developed as an oral therapeutic targeting smoking cessation and obesity, with activity at CB1, CB2, and MAO-B receptors.

"Our pipeline is advancing on all fronts, and we are focused on turning this scientific momentum into long-term value for patients and shareholders," said Erez Aminov, Chief Executive Officer of MIRA. "As we move closer to initiating Phase IIa and completing the SKNY transaction, we're actively exploring strategic opportunities to accelerate growth, including licensing and partnerships-especially in areas like chronic pain where non-opioid alternatives like Ketamir-2 are urgently needed."

Dr. Angel, Chief Scientific Advisor at MIRA, added:
"We believe Ketamir-2 is paving the way for a new class of non-opioid therapies. The science is compelling, and the progress we have made is truly exciting. I look forward to sharing the depth of our work and the promising data we've generated with potential partners and investors."
