“As the psychedelics industry matures, the amount of clinical research for MDMA is set to grow,” Kadysh noted. Adding that PharmAla is now focused on jurisdictions like Australia, “which will require full commercial-scale manufacturing of both GMP API and drug product to fulfill demand for patients,” and other jurisdictions still to come.

Psychedelics biopharma company Mind Medicine Inc. (NASDAQ:MNMD) shared positive topline data from an advanced clinical trial evaluating its lysergide (aka LSD) for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) on Friday — just a couple of days before the 80th anniversary of the discovery of LSD by Swiss doctor Albert Hofmann.
The double-blind Phase 2 study led by MindMed’s collaborators at University Hospital Basel (UHB) and the University Hospital of Psychiatry, Matthias Liechti and Felix Mueller, demonstrated “significant, rapid, durable and beneficial effects” on the mitigation of MDD symptoms.
MindMed holds exclusive access and rights to the data generated by the studies within the partnership.
