Psyence Group's NASDAQ Listed Associate, Psyence Biomedical, Receives Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) Approval to Initiate Phase IIb Study

 

NEW YORK, March 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Psyence Group Inc ("Psyence Group") (CSE: PSYG), a clinical-stage life science biotechnology company pioneering the use of nature-derived psilocybin in mental health and wellbeing, is pleased to announce that its NASDAQ listed associate, Psyence Biomedical Ltd (NASDAQ:PBM) ("PBM" or "Psyence Biomed") has received full approval from the Australian Health Research Ethics Committee (HREC) to initiate its planned Phase IIb study in Melbourne, Australia. The study will be conducted through PBM’s subsidiary, Psyence Australia (Pty) Ltd ("Psyence Australia") and will examine the use of nature-derived psilocybin as a treatment for Adjustment Disorder due to a recent cancer diagnosis in the palliative care context. According to a news release issued by PBM on March 6, 2024, an estimated 56.8 million people worldwide require palliative care annually, with a substantial number of these patients exhibiting a high burden of psychosocial distress after diagnosis.

 

The news release goes on to state that Adjustment Disorder is a serious condition affecting around 19% of patients with a life-limiting diagnosis. It severely impacts the quality of life for patients, their families and caregivers, and regularly ranks among the top seven psychiatric diagnoses in the world, according to the World Health Organization.

 

Psyence Australia has partnered with a noted psychedelic Contract Research Organization (CRO), iNGENū Pty Ltd ("iNGENū"), to design and execute the clinical trial. iNGENū is an Australia-based, globally focused CRO with extensive experience working in psychedelic pharmaceutical drug research and development.

 

Upon the close of the previously announced business combination with Newcourt Acquisition Corp, effective January 25, 2024, Psyence Group was issued 5,000,000 common shares in PBM, equal to approximately a 37% interest in PBM.

 

"We are very pleased with the progress being made by PBM, and the recent approval of its Phase IIb study in palliative care by HREC shows that the management team has maintained the momentum of the Psyence Biomed business following the implementation of the Business Combination and is executing on its strategy," said Jody Aufrichtig, Executive Chairman of the board of Psyence Group.

 

Dr. Neil Maresky, Psyence Biomedical Ltd Chief Executive Officer is quoted as saying: "[PBM is] very pleased to have received HREC’s approval to initiate this clinical trial in the field of palliative care that, if successful, will enable [PBM] to seek a paradigm shift in the treatment of patients with life-limiting illnesses, improving quality life and elevating the standard of care," going on to say that: "It is a privilege to conduct this pioneering research with nature-derived psilocybin that may result in significant improvements in patients’ lives. HREC approval represents an important milestone for [PBM], and we can now proceed to initiate this important trial as expeditiously as possible." The double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase IIb study will test three doses (25mg, 10mg and 1mg) of nature-derived psilocybin in 84 patients in conjunction with psychotherapy.

 

 


 

The primary endpoint is change in HAM-A (Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale), a widely used tool to measure anxiety severity, over time.

 

"Developing therapies such as psilocybin assisted psychotherapy, which may reduce patients’ stress and anxiety and result in better quality of life as they navigate a cancer diagnosis, can be very impactful. The current management of Adjustment Disorder in palliative care has a low rate of success in addressing all symptoms, indicating that a significant unmet medical need persists. With psilocybin assisted psychotherapy, there is an opportunity to both improve patient quality of life while also reducing health care costs associated with palliative care," Dr. Maresky added.

 

"The Psyence clinical trial is particularly important as it explores the potential benefits of psychedelic medicine for a vulnerable group of palliative care patients," said Dr. Sud Agrawal, CEO of iNGENū. "The opportunity for global impact is substantial."

 

PBM anticipates enrolling the first patient in Q2 2024 and expects the primary endpoint results to be available in 2025.

This communication contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements about future financial and operating results, our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions with respect to future operations, products and services; and other statements identified by words such as "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimated," "believe," "intend," "plan," "projection," "outlook" or words of similar meaning.

 

Forward-looking statements in this communication include statements regarding the commencement of the clinical trial referred to in this news release and the anticipated timeframes for the execution of the clinical trial and receipt of trial results. These forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions, including the assumption that Psyence Australia will receive and retain all such regulatory and other approvals as may be required to implement the clinical trial, and that patient recruitment will be successful in accordance with the expected timelines.

 

These risks and uncertainties include, among others: (i) the ability of iNGENū to execute its obligations in respect of the clinical trial; (ii) changes in applicable laws which may impact the clinical trial and/or the conducting thereof; (iii) Psyence Australia’s ability to achieve successful clinical results; (iv) Psyence Biomed’s ability to obtain regulatory approval for its product candidates, and any related restrictions or limitations of any approved products; (v) Psyence Biomed’s ability to obtain licensing of third-party intellectual property rights for future discovery and development of its product candidates; (vi) the ability of Psyence Biomed to maintain the listing of its common shares and warrants on NASDAQ; and (vii) volatility in the price of the securities of Psyence Biomed due to a variety of factors, including changes in the competitive and highly regulated industries in which Psyence Biomed operates, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting Psyence Biomed’s business and changes in Psyence Biomed’s capital structure. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the "Risk Factors" section of the Registration Statement on Form F-1, initially filed by the Company with the SEC on February 9, 2024 and other documents filed by the Company from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Nothing in this communication should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved.

The efficacy of such products has not been confirmed by approved research. There is no assurance that the use of psilocybin, psilocybin analogues, or other psychedelic compounds or nutraceuticals can diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or condition. Vigorous scientific research and clinical trials are needed. The Company has not conducted clinical trials for the use of its proposed products. Any references to quality, consistency, efficacy, and safety of potential products do not imply that the Company verified such in clinical trials or that the Company will complete such trials. If the Company cannot obtain the approvals or research necessary to commercialize its business, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s performance and operations.

Psyence Biomedical Ltd. Issues Shareholder Letter Recapping Recent Progress and Outlining Key Future Milestones

 

TORONTO, March 12, 2024 — Psyence Biomedical Ltd. (Nasdaq: PBM), a clinical-stage life science biotechnology company pioneering the use of nature-derived psilocybin in mental health and wellbeing, today issued the following letter to shareholders.

 

To my fellow shareholders:

 

Having recently commenced trading on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the ticker “PBM,” following the completion of our business combination with Newcourt Acquisition Corp., I am happy to write to update you on our recent progress and upcoming milestones.

 

Our merger with Newcourt and subsequent listing on Nasdaq confers numerous benefits to our company. These include expanded access to capital to fund our development programs and the opportunity to share the Psyence story more broadly and garner support from more sophisticated long-term institutional life sciences investors to further enhance our value.

 

Recall that we are exploring the therapeutic potential of nature-derived psilocybin (the naturally occurring psychedelic prodrug compound produced by more than 200 species of fungi), beginning with a focus on adjustment disorder in Palliative Care.

 

While other companies are exploring synthetic psilocybin, Psyence is the world’s first Nasdaq traded biopharmaceutical company researching a nature-derived (non-synthetic) psilocybin candidate. Furthermore, Psyence is the only publicly traded company to research a non-synthetic psilocybin candidate to treat Adjustment Disorder in the context of Palliative Care. Our proprietary market research suggests that the U.S. Palliative Care market will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4% through 2030, reaching $28.6 billion in annual market opportunity.i

 

Palliative Care is an area of medicine that has continued to show a track record of growth and is welcome to innovation, and this gives us great optimism for the long-term opportunity for our company as a first mover in this wide-open area. Additionally, there are signs that big pharma is growing more interested in the therapeutic potential of nature-derived compounds like psilocybin, and as a recognized first mover in the field of palliative medicine, we plan to position ourselves as a leader in this emerging area of medicine.

 

To that end, we are in the process of initiating a Phase IIb clinical trial of 25mg nature-derived Psilocybin in Australia and have recently received approval of our trial protocol by Australia’s Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC). It is worth noting that we obtained approval for a similar, though not identical, trial protocol in the U.K., but shifted our focus to Australia to capture the economic benefits, including significant R&D tax credits, of executing trials in that country. Running the trial in Australia also gives us the opportunity to partner with iNGENū, a leading Contract Research Organization (CRO) with specific expertise in executing psychedelic clinical trials. The trial will be a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial of three doses of psilocybin – 1mg, 10mg and 25mg with psychotherapy. We plan to randomize the first patient in the second quarter of 2024, and we anticipate topline results in 2025. If successful, we would move to initiate a registrational Phase III trial as expeditiously as possible.

 

 


 

 

 

Longer-term, we have identified opportunities to evaluate nature-derived psilocybin in a broad range of indications with unmet medical needs, and in parallel with our lead clinical program, we also hope to advance a pipeline of additional large-market indications.

 

Our in-licensed technology is protected by an extensive intellectual property portfolio spanning five distinct patent families, including process patents covering the extraction, purification, and standardization of nature-derived psilocybin. In addition, we have an opportunity to secure additional regulatory protections that provide for market exclusivity for new chemical entities (NCEs) upon approval.

 

Finally, we are well financed, with up to US$10.0 million of cash and equivalents following the offering of senior secured convertible notes. We believe our current resources are sufficient to complete the Phase IIb study in for Adjustment Disorder in the context of Palliative Care, while pursuing a follow-on indication.

 

In closing, the completion of our merger with Newcourt and concurrent listing on the Nasdaq stock exchange is a significant achievement for our company. We believe we have the foundation in place to be a leader in the research and development of nature-derived psilocybin-based therapeutics to treat a range of medical conditions where safer and more effective treatment options are desired.

 

I am excited about what we are poised to achieve this year and beyond and would like to thank you, our shareholders, for your support as we execute our strategy.

 

To reflect this exciting new chapter in our company’s evolution, we have created a new investor presentation, which can be found here.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Dr. Neil Maresky, Chief Executive Officer

Psyence Biomedical Ltd. / Healing Minds with Science . Changing Lives with Nature 4 We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company and have incurred significant losses since our inception. We anticipate that we will incur significant losses for the foreseeable future. Psyence has a limited operating history and expects a number of factors to cause its operating results to fluctuate on an annual basis, which may make it difficult to predict the future performance of Psyence. Psyence has never generated revenue and may never be profitable. Psyence will require substantial additional funding to achieve its business goals, and if it is unable to obtain this funding when needed and on acceptable terms, it could be forced to delay, limit or terminate its product development efforts. We depend on our current key personnel and our ability to attract and retain employees. The psychedelic therapy and biotechnology industries are undergoing rapid growth and substantial change, which has resulted in an increase in competitors, consolidation and formation of strategic relationships. Acquisitions or other consolidating transactions could harm Psyence in a number of ways, including by losing strategic partners if they are acquired by or enter into relationships with a competitor, losing customers, revenue and market share, or forcing Psyence to expend greater resources to meet new or additional competitive threats, all of which could harm Psyence’s operating results. Current and future preclinical and clinical studies will be conducted outside the United States, and the FDA may not accept data from such studies to support any NDAs submitted after completing the applicable developmental and regulatory prerequisites (absent an IND). There is a high rate of failure for product candidates proceeding through clinical trials. Because the results of preclinical studies and earlier clinical trials are not necessarily predictive of future results, Psyence may not have favorable results in its planned and future clinical trials. Negative results from clinical trials or studies of others and adverse safety events involving Psyence’s psychedelic analogs could have a material adverse effect on Psyence’s business. Costs associated with compliance with numerous laws and regulations could impact our financial results. In addition, we could become subject to increased enforcement and/or litigation risks associated with the psychedelic therapeutics industry. We are dependent on licensed intellectual property. If we were to lose our rights to licensed intellectual property, we may not be able to continue developing or commercializing our product candidates, if approved. If we breach any of the agreements under which we license the use, development and commercialization rights to our product candidates or technology from third parties or, in certain cases, we fail to meet certain development deadlines, we could lose license rights that are important to our business. Our prospective products will be subject to the various federal and state laws and regulations relating to health and safety and failure to comply with, or changes in, these laws or regulations could have an adverse impact on our business. If we fail to comply with healthcare regulations, we could face substantial enforcement actions, including civil and criminal penalties and our business, operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. Clinical trials are expensive, time-consuming, uncertain and susceptible to change, delay or termination. The results of clinical trials are open to differing interpretations. Psyence may be subject to federal, state and foreign healthcare laws and regulations and implementation of or changes to such healthcare laws and regulations could adversely affect Psyence’s business and results of operations. Psyence may voluntarily suspend or terminate a clinical trial if at any time its believes that any of its product candidates presents an unacceptable risk to participants, if preliminary data demonstrates that the product candidate is unlikely to receive regulatory approval or unlikely to be successfully commercialized, or if sufficient funds to proceed to the next phases of clinical trials are not raised. The psychedelic therapy industry and market are relatively new, and this industry and market may not continue to exist or grow as anticipated. Negative public opinion and perception of the psychedelic industry could adversely impact Psyence’s ability to operate and Psyence’s growth strategy. The expansion of the use of psychedelics in the medical industry may require new clinical research into effective medical therapies. The psychedelic therapy industry is difficult to quantify and investors will be reliant on their own estimates of the accuracy of market data. Psyence may not be able to adequately protect or enforce its intellectual property rights, which could harm its competitive position. If third parties claim that intellectual property owned or used by Psyence infringes upon their intellectual property, Psyence’s operating profits could be adversely affected.
