On June 7, 2024, Numinus Wellness clarified disclosures from two previous press releases dated May 30, 2024.

However, Numinus clarified it has no ownership in CYB003, and results will be shared by Cybin at their discretion. The second release covered Numinus' plans for a new community pilot and Numinus Network, targeting therapists and practitioners.
