Cybin (NEO: CYBN) (NYSE American: CYBN), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to revolutionizing mental healthcare by developing new and innovative psychedelic-based treatment options, is giving kudos to Small Pharma Inc., a biotechnology company focused on short-duration, psychedelic-assisted therapies for mental-health conditions. Small Pharma is reporting positive safety, tolerability and efficacy data gathered from its phase Ib study designed to explore the interaction between selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (“SSRIs”) and SPL026, native N, N-dimethyltryptamine (“DMT”), in patients with Major Depressive Disorder (“MDD”). Cybin is in the process of acquiring Small Pharma Inc. in a previously announced all-share transaction, which should close during fourth quarter 2023.
According to the announcement, study results suggest that SSRIs enhance the efficacy of SPL026 (“DMT”) when administered to MDD patients on a stable dose of SSRIs when compared to patients not on SSRIs. Specifically, at week 4, 100% of patients in the SSRI cohort responded to SPL026 with 92% of patients in remission from depression; the report also noted that there was no apparent differences in the safety and tolerability profile of SPL026. “With our upcoming acquisition of Small Pharma, we are excited to share its announcement of new data demonstrating that a DMT therapeutic is safe and enhances antidepressant efficacy in patients on SSRIs,” said Cybin CEO Doug Drysdale in the press release. “This is impressive especially when combined with previously reported phase IIa SPL026 efficacy data in MDD showing a rapid antidepressant effect and sustained remission to six months. Together, these results provide strong proof-of-concept and give us further reason to believe in the synergistic power of our combined programs, upon the closing of the transaction expected in the fourth quarter of 2023.”
