Clearmind Medicine Announces Publication of International Patent Application for Innovative
MDMA-Based Combination Treatment

 

Pioneering Therapeutic Approach Aims to Enhance Safety and Efficacy
in Mental Health and Addiction Treatments

 

Vancouver, Canada, Sept. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clearmind Medicine Inc. (Nasdaq: CMND), (FSE: CWY0) (“Clearmind” 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 the publication of an international patent application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”) for its innovative combination of 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) with N-Acylethanolamines.

 

The patent application was filed as part of the Company’s ongoing collaboration with SciSparc Ltd. (Nasdaq: SPRC) (“SciSparc”), a specialty pharmaceutical company in the clinical trial phase, dedicated to developing treatments for central nervous system disorders.

 

Under this collaboration, the two companies are researching innovative combination therapies that integrate psychedelic molecules with the N-Acylethanolamines family, including Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA). To date, thirteen patents related to this collaboration have been filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, as well as in several other global jurisdictions.

 

Dr. Adi Zuloff-Shani, CEO of Clearmind Medicine, commented on the announcement: “The continued evolution of our patent portfolio reflects our strategic commitment to bringing innovative and effective treatments to market. While MDMA has shown promising clinical benefits as a standalone therapy, it also presents potential dose-limiting toxicities. Our unique combination of MDMA and PEA is designed to address critical safety concerns raised by the FDA regarding MDMA’s safety profile. By combining MDMA with PEA, we aim to significantly reduce the MDMA dosage, thereby minimizing potential risks while maintaining therapeutic efficacy. We believe our strategy of combining psychedelic molecules and N-Acylethanolamines, could pave the way for a new era in the treatment of mental health disorders and addictions.”
