Exhibit 99.1
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) (“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 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 Medicine’s Department of Psychiatry by Dr. Anahita Bassir Nia, MD, an expert in psychiatry and addiction medicine. This milestone marks a significant step forward in Clearmind’s FDA-regulated clinical program, further expanding the multi-site trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of its proprietary investigational drug, CMND-100.
“Receiving 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,” said Dr. Adi Zuloff-Shani, CEO of Clearmind Medicine. “Alcohol 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.”
The clinical trial will assess CMND-100’s 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.
