Ahmad Doroudian, the CEO of BetterLife said, “We will use these funds to complete additional BETR-001 IND-enabling studies required by the FDA as well as releasing of GMP drug substance that can be used in future clinical trials.

The de-risked profile of BETR-001 is further supported by the fact that 2-bromo-LSD has been in human studies in the 1950s, and its non-hallucinogenic nature, and safety and tolerability in humans confirmed.” He further added, “What makes BETR-001 unique is that it is not only de-risked, but it also has robust intellectual proprietary protection. We are excited to be able to bring this novel new treatment to patients with various psychiatric and neurological disorders in the near future.”

About BetterLife Pharma
BetterLife Pharma Inc. is an emerging biotechnology company primarily focused on developing and commercializing two compounds, BETR-001 and BETR-002, to treat neuro-psychiatric and neurological disorders.
BETR-001, which is in preclinical and IND-enabling studies, is a non-hallucinogenic and non-controlled LSD derivative in development and it is unique in that it is unregulated and therefore can be self-administered. BetterLife’s synthesis patent for BETR-001 eliminates regulatory hurdles and its pending patent, for composition and method of use, covers treatment of major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder and neuropathic pain and other neuro-psychiatric and neurological disorders.
BETR-002, which is in preclinical and IND-enabling studies, is based on honokiol, the active anxiolytic ingredient of magnolia bark. BetterLife’s pending method of use and formulations patent covers treatment of anxiety related disorders including benzodiazepine dependency.
BetterLife also owns a drug candidate for the treatment of viral infections such as COVID-19 and is in the process of seeking strategic alternatives for further development.
