Clearmind Medicine Enrolls Last Patient For First Cohort Of Phase I/IIa Clinical Trial Evaluating CMND-100, Proprietary MEAI-Based Oral Drug Candidate For AUD Treatment

Clearmind Medicine Inc. (NASDAQ:CMND), (FSE: CWY0) ("Clearmind" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotech company focused on discovery and development of novel psychedelic-derived therapeutics to solve major under-treated health problems, today announced the enrollment of the last patient for the first cohort of its Phase I/IIa clinical trial evaluating CMND-100, the Company's proprietary MEAI-based oral drug candidate for the treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD).

To date, six patients have been successfully enrolled into the trial, Of these, two patients were enrolled at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and four at Yale School of Medicine's Department of Psychiatry.

The multinational, multicenter Phase I/IIa trial is designed as a single- and multiple-dose study to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile of CMND-100. It will also explore preliminary efficacy signals, such as reductions in alcohol cravings and consumption, among participants who are either non-treatment-seeking individuals reporting heavy binge drinking or treatment-seeking individuals diagnosed with AUD per DSM-5 criteria. All participants must express a desire to reduce or stop drinking. Following FDA Investigational New Drug (IND) approval, the trial represents a critical step in advancing CMND-100 as a potential innovative therapy for the hundreds of millions worldwide affected by AUD, a condition where current treatments often fall short.
