Clearmind Medicine Receives IRB Approval for its FDA-Regulated Clinical Trial
Vancouver, Canada, Dec. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clearmind Medicine Inc. (Nasdaq: CMND), (FSE: CWY0) (βClearmindβ 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 it has received Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval for its Phase I/IIa clinical trial of CMND-100, targeting alcohol use disorder (AUD).
The trial will be led at Yale School of Medicineβs Department of Psychiatry by Dr. Anahita Bassir Nia, MD, an expert in psychiatry and addiction medicine. This milestone marks a significant step forward in Clearmindβs FDA-regulated clinical program, further expanding the multi-site trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of its proprietary investigational drug, CMND-100.
βReceiving the IRB approval from Yale University, takes us one step closer to commencing our innovation clinical trial with our proprietary CMND-100, for treating AUD patients,β said Dr. Adi Zuloff-Shani, CEO of Clearmind Medicine. βAlcohol consumption is responsible for 2.6 million deaths annually worldwide, accounting for 4.7% of all global deaths, and excessive alcohol use is a leading preventable cause of death in the U.S. It remains the most commonly used substance among individuals aged 12 and older in the United States, imposing a significant economic burden with billions spent on healthcare costs. Current treatment options are limited by high costs, have low efficacy (less than 30%) and low patient compliance due to side effects1. We believe we have a unique opportunity to address this critical gap and provide an effective solution for treating this widespread condition.β
The clinical trial will assess CMND-100βs ability to reduce alcohol cravings and consumption among individuals with moderate to severe AUD. The study is designed to gather critical data supporting the advancement of CMND-100 through the clinical pipeline.

This latest patent further bolsters Clearmindβs extensive intellectual property portfolio in the psychedelic sector, which now includes 29 granted patents across 19 patent families, with protections secured in key jurisdictions such as the U.S., Europe, China, and India.
Dr. Adi Zuloff-Shani, CEO of Clearmind, commented, βWe are proud to continue leading the way in IP protection within this space. Expanding and maintaining our patent portfolio, particularly in the U.S., remains a key objective for us. We believe that we hold one of the largest portfolios in the market, covering our core areas: MEAI, binge behavior, addictions, mental disorders, as well as new psychedelic compounds and combinations identified and researched by our team.β
MEAI is a novel psychoactive molecule that reduces the desire to consume alcoholic beverages while providing a mild euphoric, alcohol-like experience. It holds the potential to transform the lives of millions who struggle with moderating their alcohol intake. Clearmindβs MEAI-based flagship treatment targets Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and weight loss. AUD is a widespread condition that ranges from mild to severe and is characterized by an individualβs inability to control their alcohol consumption despite adverse social, occupational, or health consequences. Clearmindβs MEAI may also be effective in treating binge drinking, a potentially life-threatening addiction.
