VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 12, 2024 / MindBio Therapeutics Corp. (CSE:MBIO)(Frankfurt:WF6), (the "Company" or "MindBio"), a leading biopharmaceutical company in psychiatric medicine development using microdoses of psychedelic medicines, is delighted to report positive secondary data from its world-first take-home microdosing depression trial using MB22001 completed earlier this year.
Data from MindBio's Phase 2A Depression trial indicates improvements in a range of secondary outcome measures following an 8-week treatment course with MB22001. This includes a 52% reduction in anxiety (HAM-A), and self-reported reductions in stress (35%), anxiety (59%) and depression (40%) using the DASS questionnaire. Participant's psychological quality of life was improved by 37% as measured by the WHOQOL.
Previously released data reported improvements in MADRS Score (Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale) indicating an overall 60% decrease in depressive symptoms at the end of the treatment period and a 53% complete remission from depression. The Company is currently assessing the durability of the antidepressant response of MB22001 at 1 months and 3 months post treatment cycle. The Company looks forward to revealing these highly important antidepressant durability results to the market shortly.
Safety analysis has shown a favorable adverse event profile with a low frequency of adverse events with no serious or severe adverse events recorded. No clinically significant abnormalities were seen in follow up blood tests, electrocardiograms or echocardiograms.
Justin Hanka, Chief Executive Officer of MindBio said, "We are delighted to share these impressive psychological outcome and safety results from Phase 2A clinical trials. The evidence is mounting in support of MB22001 being a potentially effective treatment for depression as the Company progresses Phase 2B clinical trials which are currently underway".
