Tel Aviv, Israel / Vancouver, Canada, Dec. 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clearmind Medicine Inc. (Nasdaq, CSE: CMND), (FSE: CWY) (“Clearmind” or the "company"), a biotech company focused on discovery and development of novel psychedelic-derived therapeutics to solve major under-treated health problems, announced achievement of positive results in addiction treatment for its revolutionary treatment targeting cocaine addiction. This groundbreaking development is centered around the company's innovative psychedelic molecule, MEAI, marking a significant milestone in the battle against addiction.
The trial, led by Professor Gal Yadid and his team, from the Gonda Multidisciplinary Brain Research Center located at Bar Ilan University in Israel, was carried out following a previous experiment that showed a marked decrease in cocaine-induced craving among rats treated with MEAI.
"These results, previously announced, offer a beacon of hope, demonstrating the potential efficacy of MEAI in reducing cocaine-related conditions. Our unique psychedelic compound has shown remarkable results in pre-clinical trials for cocaine addiction," said Dr. Adi Zuloff-Shani, CEO of Clearmind Medicine. "These promising results from our MEAI-based treatment offer a potential paradigm shift in how we approach the complex challenge of cocaine addiction, an addiction for which no dedicated treatment has yet been developed."
Clearmind's innovative approach represents a transformative step forward in addressing a global crisis. With millions affected by cocaine addiction worldwide, the successful application of MEAI could revolutionize treatment protocols and offer new hope to those trapped in the cycle of addiction.
This groundbreaking research resulted in a patent application in the U.S., that is part of the company’s ongoing collaboration with SciSparc Ltd. (NASDAQ: SPRC) (“SciSparc”), a specialty clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focusing on the development of therapies to treat disorders of the central nervous system. The collaboration focused on combining Clearmind's MEAI, a novel proprietary psychedelic treatment for addiction, with SciSparc's CannAmide™. As part of this collaboration Clearmind filed a provisional patent application related to cocaine addiction.
As Clearmind Medicine continues to pioneer in the field of psychedelic medicine, this development underscores the company's commitment to harnessing the untapped potential of psychedelic compounds in medical treatment.
