Insights

FDA IND clearance removes a key regulatory gate, accelerating MIRA’s lead asset toward U.S. efficacy data.

Regulatory milestone. The filing discloses FDA clearance of an Investigational New Drug application for Ketamir-2, unlocking company-sponsored trials in the United States. This shifts the program from pre-clinical/foreign Phase 1 to the more value-defining Phase 2a stage and typically triggers milestone-based financing and partnership discussions in the sector.

Clinical differentiation. According to the submission, Ketamir-2 outperformed gabapentin and pregabalin across three validated neuropathic pain models while avoiding ketamine-linked neurotoxicity or psychotomimetic effects. A clean pre-clinical safety profile plus oral bioavailability and blood-brain barrier penetration reduce early attrition risk.

Tangible timeline. The single ascending dose portion of an international Phase 1 is almost complete, with multiple ascending dose next and a U.S. Phase 2a targeted for Q4 2025. Defined timelines provide investors with near-term catalysts (MAD read-out) and a clear path to proof-of-concept efficacy.

Pipeline breadth. Management also cites progress on two additional programs—pending acquisition of SKNY Pharmaceuticals (obesity and nicotine indications) and MIRA-55 (cannabinoid analog for inflammatory pain). While early stage, these assets diversify scientific risk.

Shareholder impact. FDA IND clearance materially de-risks the lead program and enhances the company’s strategic optionality. No adverse financial or dilution details accompany the update, making the disclosure directionally positive.

MIRA Pharmaceuticals Announces FDA Clearance of IND for Ketamir-2, Enabling U.S. Clinical Trials in Neuropathic Pain

 

Oral, non-opioid drug candidate advancing through Phase 1 and nearing completion of the single ascending dose (SAD) portion as the Company prepares to launch U.S. Phase 2a by year-end

 

MIRA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: MIRA) announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared its Investigational New Drug (IND) application for Ketamir-2, the Company’s novel oral NMDA receptor antagonist for the treatment of neuropathic pain. The clearance enables MIRA to initiate U.S.-based clinical trials.

 

The IND submission included preclinical data demonstrating potent analgesic effects and a favorable safety profile across validated models of diabetic, chemotherapy-induced, and nerve ligation-associated neuropathy. Ketamir-2 showed superior efficacy to gabapentin and pregabalin in head-to-head studies and no evidence of ketamine-associated neurotoxicity.

 

Ketamir-2 achieved good oral bioavailability and efficient blood-brain barrier penetration, supported by its non-P-gp substrate status. Preclinical studies further showed antidepressant- and anxiolytic-like effects with no dissociative or psychotomimetic side effects.

 

The Company is nearing completion of the single ascending dose (SAD) portion of its international Phase 1 trial and is preparing to initiate the multiple ascending dose (MAD) portion. MIRA plans to initiate its U.S.-based Phase 2a efficacy trial in the fourth quarter of 2025.

 

In addition, MIRA continues to advance two other key programs. The Company’s planned acquisition of SKNY Pharmaceuticals, Inc. remains on track, with SKNY-1 showing robust preclinical efficacy in obesity and nicotine craving models, as well as reversal of anxiety-like behavior. Separately, MIRA-55, an oral cannabinoid analog, has demonstrated comparable efficacy to morphine in inflammatory pain models and is under evaluation for further development.
