flag MIRA Pharmaceuticals starts multiple-dose trial of Ketamir-2, an oral ketamine analog, for chemotherapy-related nerve pain, showing early safety and potential.

flag MIRA Pharmaceuticals has begun the multiple ascending dose phase of its Phase 1 trial for Ketamir-2, an oral ketamine analog, in healthy volunteers, following positive results from the single dose phase. flag The study tests daily doses from 150 mg to 600 mg over five days, with no serious or dose-limiting side effects reported so far. flag Preclinical data show Ketamir-2 effectively reduces chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain in rodents, outperforming existing treatments. flag The drug aims to provide a once-daily oral option without ketamine’s psychoactive effects. flag MIRA plans to advance Ketamir-2 into a Phase 2a trial focused on chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, a condition affecting up to 70% of cancer patients and lacking FDA-approved therapies.
