TRD remains one of the most pressing challenges in psychiatry affecting

approximately 30% of patients treated for MDD1 Current therapies for TRD are limited, and there is a large unmet need for treatments that are well tolerated and offer rapid therapeutic benefit and long-term remission Mebufotenin

(5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine [5-MeO-DMT]) is a non-selective serotonin (5-HT) agonist with high affinity for several receptor subtypes, primarily the 5-HT1A receptor2 GH001, a synthetic form of mebufotenin for pulmonary inhalation, has

been well tolerated in early-stage trials3 and shows potential to induce rapid remission of depressive symptoms in patients with TRD4 This analysis presents the efficacy and safety data for GH001 from the 6-month OLE of a Phase 2b

double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, in which patients with TRD received up to five re-treatments of GH001 as an IDR 4 Background Abbreviations: IDR = Individualised dosing regimen; MDD = Major depressive disorder; OLE = Open-label

extension; TRD = Treatment-resistant depression. 1. Kubitz N, et al. PLoS One. 2013;8(10):e76882. 2. Shen H, et al. Curr Drug Metab. 2010;11(8):659-66. 3. Reckweg J, et al. Front Pharmacol. 2021;12:760671. 4. Reckweg JT, et al. Front

Psychiatry. 2023;14:1133414.

For re-treatment (up to five GH001 IDRsa), the patient must have met one of the

following criteria: MADRS score >18 MADRS score >10 and 18 and MADRS score 10 not observed at Day 8 of the prior treatment or at any visit since MADRS score >10 and 18 and MADRS score >18 observed since the most recent

observation of MADRS score 10 5 Trial Schematic Open-Label Extension (Part 2; OLE) N=81 Randomisation 1:1 GH001 IDRa Placebo IDRa BL 2H Day 1 Primary endpoint MADRS Day 8 During the OLE, patients attended visits at Day 15,

healthcare professionals, providing psychological support per standard of care, but without any planned psychotherapeutic intervention before, during, or after dosing aThe criteria for administration of the second and third doses in the IDR

were based on the patient's subjectively reported psychoactive effects, and the safety and tolerability at the previous dose level according to the trial physician's judgement. bPatients also attended assessment visits on Day 2 (telephone call)

Months aTwo severe treatment-related TEAEs were reported in the OLE; affect lability occurred shortly after administration of GH001 and resolved within 4 minutes and one event of migraine, considered a serious TEAE not related to treatment,

started 73 days after the patient's most recent (fourth) administration of GH001. bIncluded the following PT: throat irritation and upper respiratory tract irritation (three events each), cough and dyspnoea (one event each), and exacerbation of

asthma. All of these treatment-related TEAEs were mild to moderate in severity and not associated with clinically significant changes in vital signs and, with the exception of the TEAE of asthma, were short-lived, resolved without treatment,

and were not associated with any clinically significant changes in spirometry parameters. Abbreviations: IDR = Individualised dosing regimen; OLE = Open-label extension; PT = Preferred term; SOC = System organ class; TEAE = Treatment-emergent

adverse event; TRD = Treatment-resistant depression. TEAEs were observed in 72/81 (88.9%) of patients and were mostly mild or moderatea One non treatment-related serious TEAE was reported No TEAEs of suicidal intent or suicidal behaviour

occurred and lower rates of suicidal ideation were observed in comparison to baseline at all timepoints assessed during the trial There were no clinically significant changes in blood pressure or heart rate following administration of GH001

and no treatment-related TEAEs related to vital signs or ECG results Of a total of 13 TEAEs (9.9% of patients) under the SOC respiratory, thoracic, and mediastinal disorders, nine (6.2% of patients) were considered treatment-related

TEAEsb The median duration of psychoactive effects after GH001 administration was 11 minutes Patients were deemed discharge-ready by 1-hour post-dose at 99% of visits

16 Conclusion Abbreviations: IDR = Individualised dosing regimen; MADRS =

Montgomery- sberg Depression Rating Scale; OLE = Open-label extension; SAE = Serious adverse event; TEAE = Treatment-emergent adverse event; TRD = Treatment-resistant depression. The primary endpoint was met: GH001 administered as an IDR led

to significant MADRS reduction from baseline to Day 8 ( 15.5 vs placebo) GH001 can maintain long-term remission in TRD, with 73.0% of patients who completed the OLE in remission at 6 months Patients who completed the OLE received a mean total

of four GH001 treatments, with 63.5% (40/63) requiring one to four treatments during the 6 months GH001 was well tolerated during the 6-month OLE and no treatment-related SAEs occurred No TEAEs of suicidal intent or suicidal behaviour

occurred throughout the 6-month duration of the trial
