... Remission Rates in TRD < 15% Established Therapies are Slow-Acting ~33% no remission despite
4 treatment steps Adapted from Trivedi et al., Am J Psychiatry 2006 and Rush et al., Am J Psychiatry 2006 Average time to remission is ~6 weeks (STARD study, Remission Rate Over Time, Treatment Step 1 = Citalopram) (STARD study,

5-MeO-DMT (5-Methoxy-N,N-Dimethyltryptamine) Naturally-occurring psychoactive substance from
tryptamine class Highly potent agonist on 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors Psychoactive effects with ultra-rapid onset (within seconds) and short duration (5 to 30 min) GH001 (5-MeO-DMT administration via a proprietary inhalation
approach) Intraday individualized dosing regimen (IDR) for maximization of ultra-rapid remissions Single visit initial treatment, with no structured psychotherapy 5-MeO-DMT and GH001 4 5-MeO-DMT GH001-TRD-102 ICPR 2022
5-MeO-DMT and Peak Experiences High propensity to induce peak experiences (PE) Feelings of ego
dissolution Experience of unity or oneness Profound and meaningful May be a surrogate marker for therapeutic effects Assessed through proprietary Peak Experience Scale Three visual analogue scales (0 - 100): Intensity Loss of
control Profoundness PE defined as total average of 75 5 GH001-TRD-102 ICPR 2022
