Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On August 6, 2026, MIRA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing positive toxicokinetic findings from a 7-day repeated-dose study of SKNY-1 in Beagle dogs. SKNY-1 is an investigational oral drug candidate being developed for obesity, which aims to preserve lean body mass while promoting weight reduction.
The study evaluated SKNY-1 following repeated daily oral dosing in male and female Beagle dogs over 7 days. SKNY-1 demonstrated rapid oral absorption and dose-dependent systemic exposure across the evaluated dose range. Plasma concentrations were comparable between male and female animals. The data demonstrates evidence of dose-dependent response and systemic accumulation with repeated dosing, providing confidence in dose selection for the planned GLP toxicology program.
The Company believes these toxicokinetic findings de-risk dose selection and support advancement toward GLP-compliant toxicology studies required for IND-enabling development. These findings are based on preclinical toxicokinetic studies, and additional preclinical efficacy and safety studies will be required to further characterize SKNY-1 as the Company advances its IND-enabling program. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
