Full Press Release Details
The approval was granted based on additional topline positive safety results reinforcing favorable profile of CMND-100 in ongoing Phase I/IIa clinical trial
Vancouver, Canada, March 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clearmind Medicine Inc. (Nasdaq: CMND), (FSE: CWY0) (“Clearmind” or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotech company focused on the discovery and development of novel, second generation, neuroplastogen-derived therapeutics to solve major under-treated health problems, today announced that its independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board (“DSMB”) has completed the second scheduled interim review of the Company’s ongoing FDA-approved Phase I/IIa clinical trial for CMND-100, a proprietary, non-hallucinogenic neuroplastogen, in the treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder (“AUD”). Based on the encouraging additional top-line data from the second cohort, which demonstrated a favorable safety profile, the DSMB recommended that the clinical trial continue.
These further safety data points, emerging following the successful completion of treatment of another six participants of the second cohort, previously announced January 14, 2026, continue to strengthen the encouraging safety and tolerability profile previously established in the first cohort.
The results of the second cohort, in which twice the dose was administered compared to a single dose in the first cohort, reinforce no serious adverse events and overall good tolerability, consistent with the favorable results reported from the first cohort, support the rapid progression enabled by the DSMB’s unanimous approval to advance for the third cohort, for which the dose is 80 mg per administration, which is double the dose administered in the second cohort.
The Phase I/IIa clinical trial is a multinational, multicenter study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of CMND-100 in patients with moderate to severe AUD. The second cohort, conducted across leading sites, including Johns Hopkins University, Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, and Hadassah Medical Center, achieved full treatment completion shortly after DSMB clearance, underscoring continued confidence in CMND-100’s safety profile as a potential innovative therapy for AUD.
