Operations Update

MindBio Therapeutics

MindBio is making progress with unblinding and collation of data from Phase 1 Microdosing Clinical Trials that were completed in April 2022.  A formal presentation of Phase 1 clinical trial results is planned for November in the US via a press conference then a keynote presentation at a major industry event.  

The data analysis is extensive and includes a machine learning process to identify trends and connections across thousands of psychometric and biological data sets.  A speech recognition algorithm is also being used to analyse the qualitative data from 2 hour post treatment interviews in both the treatment and placebo groups.  The information gained from these analytical processes forms the foundation for MindBio’s microdosing predictive treatment model and intellectual property development for the purposes of commercializing a medical treatment using proprietary technology and psychedelic microdosing.

Preparations for Phase 2 clinical trials are progressing well and management is encouraged by the early data seen from phase 1 results that is informative and positive news for continuation trials.  A new digital app has been created for use by participants in Phase 2 clinical trials.  The digital app is an important part of the treatment protocol and has a user friendly interface to monitor mood, adherence, safety measures and to collect psychometric data and record the experience of patients.  Clinical trial participants will also use wearables to collect biometric data during their treatment cycle. The digital app is currently being enhanced with capability to deliver a clinically proven psychological treatment intervention to be used in conjunction with medicinal microdosing.  The digital app will feed psychometric and biometric data back to clinicians in real time in future clinical trials.

Management is committed to moving forward with the proposed spin out of MindBio with preparations for the spin out continuing.
