American Marconi Wireless News - Ensysce Biosciences Accelerates PF614-MPAR-102 Study with Full Enrollment of Part 2

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / June 24, 2025 / Ensysce Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENSC) ("Ensysce" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing innovative solutions for severe pain relief while reducing the potential for opioid abuse and overdose, today announced it has fully enrolled Part 2 of the critical three-part PF614-MPAR-102 clinical study to study the effect of food on the MPAR technology.

PF614-MPAR has earned the FDA's prestigious Breakthrough Therapy designation and is uniquely engineered using Ensysce's proprietary TAAP™ (Trypsin-Activated Abuse Protection) and MPAR® (Multi-Pill Abuse Resistance) technologies. These platforms enable PF614-MPAR to maintain therapeutic efficacy while delivering built-in overdose protection when doses exceed prescribed amounts, whether accidentally or intentionally.

A three-year grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), with second year funding recently announced¹, continues to support this program through May 2027. This support will accelerate the clinical development of PF614-MPAR and could help launch a new era in pain relief with overdose protection.

"This is more than a study milestone - it's a turning point in pain medicine," said Dr. Lynn Kirkpatrick, CEO of Ensysce. "We are moving closer to delivering a new class of opioid that not only relieves pain but also shields patients from the danger of overdose. We believe PF614-MPAR has the potential to redefine opioid safety for millions of patients."

¹The research is supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health under Award Number UO1DA059791.
