Interview With Dr. Hyder A. Khoja

Who’s winning the psychedelics race and how do clinical trials work? This topic has been requested a lot lately so we decided to give you a rundown on the clinical trials system and the psychedelic-inspired companies who are furthest advanced at the moment. Of course, for now, MAPS is leading the race. However, other public companies such as Compass Pathways (CMPS) and MindMed (MMED / MNMD) are not far behind, for now.

Hopefully, this introductory video will help some new retail investors who are considering investing in biotech companies who do not te have an approved drug, to understand the importance that clinical trials need to play in their investing decisions.

Compass Pathways is launching a NEW Phase II clinical trial to treat PTSD!!!
The trial will use Comp 360, the company’s synthetic, proprietary version of psilocybin, in conjunction with therapy. This is Compass’ second major trial using Comp 360. They also are using it to treat Treatment Resistant Depression.

On October 3rd, 2021, Compass Pathways (Nasdaq: CMPS) announced the launch of a brand new psychedelic therapy clinical trial, using Psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, to treat PTSD.
The Phase 2 clinical trial will use Comp 360, Compass Pathways’ proprietary, synthetic, cristalline Psilocybin. It will be paired with talk psychotherapy in 20 adults who suffered trauma as an adult, resulting in PTSD.
While using psychedelics for mental health may seem controversial, when it comes to the science, psychedelics like psilocybin and MDMA, when paired with therapy have been shown to work.
For example, recently MAPS completed a Phase III clinical trial using MDMA therapy to treat PTSD, which showed 67% of people improving so much they no longer qualified to be diagnosed as having PTSD (cured?). Another 21% of people improved significantly.

This Compass Pathways trial is exciting, because once it is complete, we will be able to compare the results of their psilocybin trial to MAPS’ MDMA trial, to start to have an understanding of which psychedelic compound works better for treating PTSD.
This news comes as we are waiting for the results of Compass Pathways’ Phase 2b Clinical Trial, testing treating Treatment-Resistant Depression with Comp 360, to be released before the end of the year.
The results of the trial will be significant, as it will be the largest ever clinical trial studying psychedelics, with 216 patients. It will also be the most advanced clinical trial studying psilocybin, being in phase 2b.
In sum, these are very exciting times to be watching Compass Pathways. Controversies surrounding their patents aside, Compass is one of the companies pushing the frontiers of psychedelic medicines, which is very exciting to watch.

Do you think psilocybin assisted therapy could treat PTSD? Let us know in the comments.

Back to Numinus

This acquisition will make Numinus the psychedelic medicines company with the highest revenue, though of course there is still a long road to profitability.

Psychedelic stock investors woke up to some major news today: Numinus Wellness (TSX: NUMI) (OTCQX: NUMIF) announced that they are acquiring Novamind Inc. (CSE: NM) (OTCQB: NVMDF).

The acquisition will be done in stock, and shareholders of Novamind will receive 0.84 of a common share of Numinus per Novamind share held, implying an offer price of $0.44 per Novamind share. This means Numinus is offering a premium of 51% to Novamind shareholders, based on the 20-day volume-weighted average price of their stock. When the transaction is completed, Novamind shareholders will own around 18% of Numinus.

If you currently hold Novamind stock, you do not need to do anything. When the transaction is finalized, each Novamind share you own will automatically be transformed into 0.84 of a Numinus share.
