Dr. Lynn Kirkpatrick, Featured Speaker to Discuss Ensysce Overdose Protection Platform at DCAT Seminar

~ Ensysce Biosciences and Quotient Sciences Showcase a Unique Collaboration ~

SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March 6, 2023 / Ensysce Biosciences, Inc. ("Ensysce" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:ENSC), a clinical-stage biotech company applying transformative chemistry to improve prescription drug safety to reduce abuse and overdose, today announced Dr. Lynn Kirkpatrick, Chief Executive Officer, is a featured speaker at a lunch seminar on March 22, 2023 in New York sponsored by partner Quotient Sciences. The Seminar "Strategies for Achieving Regulatory Milestones Faster: An Ensysce Biosciences & Quotient Sciences customer case study demonstrating the benefits of an integrated approach for accelerating development" is taking place in tandem with Drug, Chemical & Associated Technologies Association (DCAT) Week. Dr. Kirkpatrick will be discussing how Ensysce's collaboration with Quotient has helped progress the Company's unique programs to combat opioid abuse and misuse, and highlight its overdose protection platform, MPAR^TM (Multi-Pill Abuse Resistance).

Ensysce selected Quotient as a partner because of their integrated Translational Pharmaceutics® program, a drug development and manufacturing accelerator. Translational Pharmaceutics allows the manufacture and clinical evaluation of a drug product in real time. This real time evaluation has allowed Ensysce to advance its overdose protection program with PF614-MPAR^TM faster than could be achieved using traditional manufacturing processes.

"Our partnership with Quotient Sciences is an exceptional case study for Translational Pharmaceutics®, and we are excited to highlight how it has facilitated the progress of our clinical development of PF614-MPAR^TM," said Dr. Lynn Kirkpatrick, Chief Executive Officer of Ensysce Biosciences. "PF614-MPAR™ is potentially a first-in-class agent designed to treat severe pain while delivering overdose protection. This ‘Next Generation' opioid integrates both abuse deterrence and overdose protection in one product which could ultimately enhance and save many lives. We look forward to sharing updates on the program with seminar attendees."
