NEW YORK, November 10, 2022 -- Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. (NASDAQ: MNMD), (NEO: MMED), (the Company or MindMed ), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel products to treat brain health disorders, today reported its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
We are pleased with the progress made in the third quarter as we continue executing on our core development programs (MM-120 and MM-402) and accelerating preparations for Phase 3 studies all with the goal of bringing our treatments to market as efficiently as possible for the benefit of both patients and shareholders. During the quarter, we initiated enrollment in the largest well-controlled clinical trial of LSD, a 200-patient Phase 2b trial in patients diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), with data expected in the second half of 2023. Additionally, we continue our efforts to bring MM-402 into human clinical studies, said Robert Barrow, Chief Executive Officer and Director of MindMed. Throughout the third quarter, we have taken meaningful steps to reduce our cash expenditures and we further bolstered our balance sheet, by raising approximately $60 million. We believe our strong financial position provides the Company the necessary funding to prepare for later stage clinical development of MM-120 while continuing our pursuit to retain, protect, and build the intellectual property portfolio of the Company.
The Company enhanced and strengthened its financial resources with approximately $60.0 million in gross proceeds as a result of sales pursuant to our at-the-market selling program and a public offering. During the quarter, the Company also regained compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price listing requirement.
Development Program Updates and Anticipated Milestones:
MM-120 (LSD D-tartrate): a proprietary, pharmaceutically optimized form of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) that is primarily being developed for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).
-In August 2022, the Company initiated patient dosing in the Phase 2b dose-optimization study of MM-120 for the treatment of GAD. Patient enrollment is currently ongoing and topline results are expected in the second half of 2023.
-In September 2022, results from a Phase 2 placebo-controlled investigator-initiated clinical trial of LSD in the treatment of anxiety disorders (LSD-Assist Study) were published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Biological Psychiatry. Topline results in 46 patients with clinically significant anxiety demonstrated the significant, rapid, durable, and beneficial effects of LSD and its potential to safely mitigate symptoms of anxiety and depression.
-Enrollment is ongoing for Study MMED007, a Phase 2a proof-of-concept trial for the treatment of ADHD. The study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of repeated low-dose MM-120 administration. The Company expects topline results in the second half of 2023.
-The Company continues to prioritize and focus its current development efforts and resources on MM-120 in psychiatric indications. MindMed currently owns and retains all clinical data and manufacturing rights for MM-120 and is aggressively protecting and expanding its intellectual property portfolio.
MM-402 or R(-)-MDMA: a synthetic R-enantiomer of 3,4-Methyl enedioxy methamphetamine
(MDMA) that the Company is developing for the treatment of core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder.
-IND-enabling studies are currently ongoing and initiation of a Phase 1 clinical trial of MM-402 is planned in 2023.
-A Phase 1 pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic investigator-initiated trial of R(-)-MDMA, S(+)-MDMA and R/S-MDMA in healthy volunteers is currently underway through the Company's collaboration with the University Hospital Basel in Switzerland.
Third Quarter 2022 Financial and Other Recent Highlights
Cash Balance. As of September 30, 2022, MindMed had cash and cash equivalents totaling $154.5 million compared to $133.5 million as of December 31, 2021. MindMed believes its available cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet its operating requirements into the first half of 2025.
Net Cash in Operating Activities. The net cash used in operating activities was $37.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $38.0 million for the same period in 2021.
Research and Development (R&D). R&D expenses were $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $9.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of $1.2 million. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $1.4 million of external costs related to the MM-110 research program and $0.8 million decrease in preclinical activities. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of internal personnel costs of $1.5 million as we continue to expand our in-house research and development capabilities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, research and development expenses were $27.3 million, compared to $23.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $3.4 million. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of $5.6 million of internal personnel costs related to additional research and development
headcount and an increase of $2.9 million external costs related to the MM-120 research program. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of external costs related to the MM-110 research program of $3.7 million.
General and Administrative (G&A). G&A expenses were $9.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $1.0 million. The increase was primarily related to issuance costs related to the Company's public equity offering which closed during the third quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, general and administrative expenses were $25.1 million, compared to $52.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of $27.3 million. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $26.4 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expenses relating to the modification of stock option awards and RSUs recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Net Loss. The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $16.5 million, compared to $17.2 million for the same period in 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net loss was $51.9 million compared to $76.2 million for the same period in 2021.
