Post# of 341
Cybin (NEO: CYBN) (NYSE American: CYBN), a biopharmaceutical company focused on progressing Psychedelics to Therapeutics(TM), has partnered with Clinilabs Drug Development Corporation to work on its upcoming phase 1/2a clinical trial of CYB003. Clinilabs is a global, full-service contract research organization that has built a reputation for its expertise in central nervous system drug development. Derived from psilocybin, Cybin’s CYB003 is part of a family of molecules called indolamines that include common neurotransmitters such as serotonin. The molecule will be the first psilocybin analog to be evaluated in phase 1/2a development for the treatment of major depressive disorder (“MDD”). According to Clinilabs management, an estimated one-third to one-half of people struggling with MDD don’t respond to current antidepressant drug treatment, with the only options for treatment being escalating dosage amounts or changing medication. Clinilabs management called working with Cybin to conduct the first-in-human clinical trial of CYB003 a “privilege.” Cybin management is also looking forward to the collaboration. “We are delighted to partner with the Clinilabs team as we progress this important program toward a first-in-human Phase 1/2a trial,” said Cybin CEO Doug Drysdale in the press release. “Clinilabs brings a unique combination of scientific and operational experience and deep expertise in clinical research across a range of psychiatric, neurological and substance use disorders. Clinilabs is ideally suited to help us accelerate the regulatory pathway for this promising treatment candidate and ultimately, to effectively treat those suffering with MDD.”
