The Israeli Ministry of Health has granted approval for SciSparc to conduct the Phase IIb clinical trial of SCI-110 to treat Tourette Syndrome in adult patients.
The placebo controlled, randomised, cross-over, double-blind trial will assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of daily oral SCI-110 in adult patients aged between 18 and 65 years with Tourette Syndrome.

In the trial, the participants will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio and be given either SCI-110 or a SCI-110 matched placebo.
The trial’s primary efficacy objective is to evaluate tic severity change using the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale as a continuous endpoint at weeks 12 and 26, compared to baseline.
Absolute and relative frequencies of serious adverse events will be assessed for all the participants in the trial and separately for the SCI-110 and placebo groups as the trial’s primary safety objective.
