Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - 15 January, 2025 – MindBio Therapeutics Corp. (CSE: MBIO); (Frankfurt: WF6), (the “Company” or “MindBio”), is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company in psychiatric medicine development using microdoses of psychedelic medicines to treat depressive disorders. The Company is delighted to provide an update on clinical trial progress and technology developments.
MindBio is currently undertaking two landmark clinical trials due for completion in Q3 in 2025:
Phase 2B trial in 90 patients with Major Depressive Disorder. This is a triple blind, double dummy, active placebo-controlled trial.
Phase 2B trial in 40 patients with Advanced Stage Cancer, suffering from end of life distress, anxiety and depression. This is a double blind, placebo-controlled trial of MB22001 as an adjunct to the use of Meaning Centred Psychotherapy, (the standard of mental health care in late stage cancer patients).
These trials are a world first and still the only government approved trials anywhere in the world for the take home use of a microdose of a psychedelic medicine, in this case MB22001, which is a proprietary self-titratable form of lysergic acid diethylamide which has been designed specifically for safe, take-home use.
Both trials have now progressed well beyond their half way points and patient recruitment will begin again in February after a short break for the holidays.
The Company is pleased with the progress of the trials, which proceed highly successful Phase 1 and Phase 2A trials which have met all primary and secondary endpoints which notably include an impressive 72% anti-depressant response sustained 6 months post an 8-week treatment cycle with MB22001 and improved sleep including REM sleep and improvements mood and wellbeing.
Patients self-administer the drug in microdoses at home, (the microdoses are sub-hallucinogenic), and patients are then able to get on with their day in the same way they would if they were taking any other medication. This is a groundbreaking approach in the use of psychedelics in a way that can be effectively scaled to patients in the community and the Company is clearly demonstrating the effective implementation of its treatment thesis having completed thousands of doses in trials to date.
The Company has also made significant discoveries, including genetic discoveries and other unique and surprising physiological findings related to treating patients at home with a psychedelic medicine and we hope to be able to share these new developments shortly. These discoveries are the result of a huge amount of data collected in clinical trials and the use of machine learning techniques and artificial intelligence to build precision diagnostic tools. In the process of collecting large amounts of data and managing safety protocols with a highly prohibited substance, the Company has successfully implemented proprietary technologies in its clinical trials to manage and monitor these processes and refine the ability to predict patient outcomes from medical treatment. The Company believes some of these technologies and discoveries have the potential to be broadly commercialised, not just inside of, but outside of the pharmaceutical industry. Management is pursuing commercialisation opportunities for these unique technologies and discoveries and will provide updates in due course.
Justin Hanka, Chief Executive Officer of MindBio said, “We are delighted in the progress of our trials to date and are excited by the technological developments in the Company that are showing a lot of promise and potential for scaling commercially. Developing a novel drug is a time consuming process through multiple clinical trials and we are excited that the Company is progressing well with these trials and also has the opportunity to apply its technology and discoveries to other verticals”.
We invite you to join us in support of creating a brighter future for mental health.
