NLS Pharmaceutics Retains LifeSci Partners As Financial Advisor To Evaluate Strategic Partnering Initiatives

ZURICH, SWITZERLAND / ACCESSWIRE / March 31, 2022 / NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd. (NASDAQ:NLSP)(NASDAQ:NLSPW) ("NLS" or the "Company"), a Swiss clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of innovative therapies for patients with rare and complex central nervous system disorders, announces that it has retained LifeSci Partners as financial advisor to assist the Company in evaluating a variety of strategic partnering initiatives.

"Following the strong interim Phase 2a results that we reported at the World Sleep Congress earlier this month, we received inbound interest from several third parties to initiate strategic dialogue, and believe that it is in our shareholders' best interest to explore these options as we seek to advance our lead drug candidate, Quilience® (Mazindol ER) and further develop our early-stage pipeline of compounds to treat central nervous system (CNS) diseases," said Alex Zwyer, Chief Executive Officer of NLS Pharmaceutics. "While we can have no assurances of a transaction being consummated, we are pleased to enter into this agreement with LifeSci Partners to engage in direct dialogue with these parties and explore a variety of potential strategies to bring our novel drug candidates to patients as quickly as possible, and to create value for our shareholders."

About NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd.
NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd. is a Swiss clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company led by an experienced management team with a track record of developing and repurposing product candidates to treat rare and complex central nervous system disorders. The Company's lead product candidate, Quilience®, is a proprietary extended-release formulation of Mazindol (Mazindol ER) and is being developed for the treatment of narcolepsy, and potentially other sleep-wake disorders such as idiopathic hypersomnia (IH). Mazindol is a triple monoamine reuptake inhibitor and partial Orexin-2 Receptor agonist, which was used for many years to treat patients diagnosed with narcolepsy in compassionate use programs. A Phase 2a clinical trial evaluating Quilience® in adult subjects suffering from narcolepsy is currently ongoing in the United States. Previously, NLS successfully completed a Phase 2 study in the U.S. evaluating Nolazol® (Mazindol Controlled-Release) in adult subjects suffering from ADHD. The study met all primary and secondary endpoints and Nolazol® was well-tolerated. Quilience® has received Orphan Drug Designations both in the U.S. and in Europe for the treatment of narcolepsy. Up to 1/3 of narcoleptic patients are also diagnosed with ADHD. NLS has announced that it plans to enable patients diagnosed with IH to access treatment with Quilience® through an Early Access Program (EAP). EAPs have great potential to benefit all stakeholders involved, from the patient who receives the medicine early, to the pharmaceutical company who provides it. Although EAPs can represent a significant undertaking, companies who invest in them can see considerable benefit in terms of launch preparedness, relationship building and market penetration.
