Clearmind Announces Initiation of CMND-100
Manufacturing Program to Address its Upcoming Clinical
Trial
VANCOUVER, Canada -- November 23, 2022 --
InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Clearmind Medicine Inc. (Nasdaq:
CMND), (CSE:
CMND), (FSE: CWY) ("Clearmind" or the "Company"), a biotech company focused on
discovery and development of novel psychedelic-derived therapeutics
to solve major undertreated health problems, today announced the
initiation of clinical batches of production of its novel
psychedelic-derived drug candidate, the MEAI- based molecule-
CMND-100.
The produced batches will be used in the
Company's upcoming first in human (FIH) clinical trial evaluating
the proprietary drug candidate compound CMND-100 for the treatment
of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD).
Following MEAI's synthesis development process,
the compound is being produced under GMP (Good Manufacturing
Process) conditions to comply with FDA requirements. The clinical
batches production is made possible due to prior successful
production of MEAI drug substance that was used in the Company's
pre- clinical studies designed to evaluate the safety of its
innovative compound.
"Clearmind continues its progress toward FIH
clinical trial" said Dr. Adi Zuloff-Shani, Clearmind's Chief
Executive Officer. "This milestone joins other achievements we've
made in a relatively short period. Non-clinical data
generated to date, demonstrate that our MEAI- based treatment has
the potential to treat broad range of addictions and binge
behaviors such as AUD."
"Like other addictions, AUD is a chronic
relapsing brain disorder characterized by an impaired ability to
stop or control alcohol use," she added. "Alcohol abuse is the
third most-common preventable cause of death in the United States,
where almost 6% struggle with this condition. "
The Company previously announce that it
completed a highly constructive Pre-Investigational New Drug
Application ("pre-IND") meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration ("FDA") to discuss the development of
CMND-100.
