Vancouver,
British Columbia – June 14, 2023 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire --
MindBio
Therapeutics Corp. (CSE: MBIO; Frankfurt: WF6), (the "Company"
or "MindBio"),
is pleased to report its major
discovery from sleep data obtained from randomized controlled
trials LSD-Microdosing from 3231 nights of sleep in 80 clinical
trial participants.
MindBio's LSD-Microdosing clinical trials
have yielded positive top line data including statistically
significant enhancements in subjective feelings of "wellness",
"creativity", "happiness", "social connectivity" and
"energy". The sleep data collected from the trial
adds to MindBio's intellectual property in a Big Data play for the
Company. MindBio scientists are preparing a further 7 subsequent
upcoming papers analysing data from Phase 1 LSD-Microdosing
randomized controlled trials in 80 healthy subjects ahead of two
Phase 2 LSD-Microdosing trials starting shortly.
MindBio is pleased to report preliminary
findings from sleep data obtained from 3231 nights of sleep,
recording, measuring and analysing the sleep patterns of
participants in the LSD-Microdosing treatment group n=40 against
the placebo group n=40. The Company is pleased to announce it has
made a major discovery
confirmatory of positive sleep responses to MindBio's LSD-Microdosing
treatment.
Not only does LSD-Microdosing
improve subjective feelings of mood and feelings of happiness,
energy, creativity, social connectivity and wellness, it also has a
statistically significant impact on
quality of sleep.
Why is positive sleep
data from LSD-Microdosing so important?
The ground-breaking findings are important,
particularly in depression, and some related mental health
conditions where MindBio has a scientific interest, such as
pre-menstral dysmorphic disorder, where quality of sleep is
disproportionately compromised and seen as a significant
contributor to down-spiralling mental health. A common first line of treatment to mood
and sleep disruption is the use of anti-depressants plus sleeping
pills.
Sleeping pills pose a potential
reliance, misuse and addiction risk and the negative unacceptable
side effects from anti-depressants (such as weight gain, agitation,
gastro-intestinal upset and sexual impotence) are well
reported.1
The positive sleep data from
MindBio's proprietary LSD-Microdosing treatment is ground-breaking
in respect of potentially replacing existing treatments for mood
and sleep disruption that are often ineffective and have
unacceptable side effects. MindBio's discovery adds to the Company's
Big Data strategy, adding to its intellectual property to
effectively treat patients with mental health disorders through
MindBio's proprietary LSD-Microdosing treatment program.
Phase 2 LSD-Microdosing
trials to begin shortly.
MindBio has two fully funded Phase 2
LSD-Microdosing clinical trials starting shortly. The first trial
focuses on Major Depressive Disorder, where 20 patients meeting
DSM-V criteria will receive an open label 8-week LSD microdosing
treatment regimen in a naturalistic at-home setting. This trial
will serve as the basis for continuing a much larger Phase 2b
triple-dummy, active placebo-controlled trial in depressed
patients. The second trial explores the effectiveness of
LSD-Microdosing in conjunction with Meaning Centred Psychotherapy
in late-stage cancer patients experiencing emotional distress. This
randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled trial will involve
40 participants and is set to begin recruiting participants for the
trial shortly.
Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of
MindBio Therapeutics said "We are delighted by the continued
progress we see in the effectiveness and tolerability of MindBio's
proprietary LSD-Microdosing program. The sleep data is promising for a potential
tolerable alternative to sleeping pills and we are rigorously
pursuing masses of data on LSD-Microdosing under randomized
controlled conditions to get the evidence we need for accelerating
approvals for access to this medicine for effectively treating mood
and sleep disruption".
MindBio's investment thesis, using
microdosing, centers on the creation of a unique treatment model
that is globally scalable, safe, accessible, and affordable, aiming
to address the existing challenges in mental health
care.
We invite you to join us in support of
creating a brighter future for mental health.
