Cybin CYBN, a biopharmaceutical company focused on progressing Psychedelics to Therapeutics(TM), has received authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for an investigator-initiated, randomized, placebo-controlled phase 2 clinical trial; the trial is designed to evaluate psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy with psilocybin for frontline clinicians experiencing COVID-related distress. The company noted that the primary investigator for the trial, Dr. Anthony Back, received an investigational new drug (“IND”) approval letter from the FDA, authorizing the trial.
In addition, the study has received Institutional Review Board (“IRB”) approval at the University of Washington. Cybin also announced that CEO Doug Drysdale will be an active participant in the upcoming second annual H.C. Wainwright Psychedelics Conference. The virtual event is scheduled for Dec. 6, 2021. Drysdale will be part of a fireside chat, slated to start at 7 a.m. ET. Drysdale’s presentation will be available on-demand; an archived version of the event will be available on the company’s investor relations website.
“This clinical trial provides an opportunity to better understand the effectiveness of combining psilocybin and EMBARK,” said Cybin CEO Doug Drysdale in the press release announcing the phase 2 trial approvals. “Learnings from this combination Phase 2 trial will inform the use of EMBARK in Cybin’s upcoming human studies using CYB003, a proprietary deuterated psilocybin analog that has the potential to reduce clinic times and dosing levels in half as well as potentially reduce side effects and adverse events.”
