Ensysce Biosciences Selected to Present at American Association of Pain Medicine Annual Conference

~ PF614-MPAR recognized as potential medical breakthrough ~

SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 6, 2024 / Ensysce Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENSC) ("Ensysce" or "Company"), a clinical-stage company applying transformative chemistry to improve prescription drug safety, today announced they have been selected to present one of the top 12 best Flash Talks in the Trailblazer Session at the 2024 American Association of Pain Medicine (AAPM) Meeting on March 9th. Dr. William Schmidt, Chief Medical Officer of Ensysce, will present "Preventing Prescription Drug Overdoses: Clinical development of Trypsin-Activated Abuse Deterrent (TAAP) Opioids with Overdose Protection".

The American Association of Pain Medicine is a leading organization in the country for pain experts and practitioners, with the mission to advance education, advocacy and research to improve the quality of life for people in pain. The flash talk designation is awarded to a small number of programs that convey novel information with great potential and are of interest to pain specialists. Ensysce's novel PF614-MPAR is designed to provide optimal pain relief at prescribed doses yet limit accidental or intentional overdose by ‘shutting down' opioid release if too much active drug is consumed. PF614-MPAR could herald a new class of treatment for the most severe forms of pain and could save lives if approved, as each capsule contains built-in protection against both abuse and overdose which plague traditional opioids. In late January, the Company's PF614-MPAR was granted Breakthrough Therapy designation by the FDA, recognizing its innovative approach to preventing prescription opioid overdoses.

Dr. Lynn Kirkpatrick, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of Ensysce Biosciences, commented, "We are delighted to be recognized by AAPM, an organization which we hold in very high regard. We believe PF614-MPAR is a true game-changer but it's always encouraging to learn that leading external experts share our enthusiasm. Following our constructive End of Phase 2 meeting with the FDA informing the strategic design of the upcoming Phase 3 studies, and recent Breakthrough Therapy Designation of PF614-MPAR, we are encouraged by the AAPM's interest as we accelerate the development of the ‘Next Generation' opioid to treat severe pain layered with overdose protective properties."

Dr. William Schmidt, Chief Medical Officer, added, "Recognition by the AAPM of our unique PF614-MPAR platform is particularly notable, and to be selected as one of the top twelve best topics in the flash talk category is highly encouraging. I look forward to presenting our extremely innovative data to experts and professionals in the pain field. As PF614, our lead opioid with novel abuse protection, continues to move toward approval, we believe the second layer of safety from our MPAR technology will disrupt the opioid market and mitigate the risk of overdose."
