Clearmind Medicine Announces Publication of its Patent Application for Innovative Ketamine-Based Combination Treatment
August 29 2024 - 4:25PM
Clearmind Medicine Inc. (Nasdaq: CMND), (FSE: CWY0) (“Clearmind” or
the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotech company focused on
discovery and development of novel psychedelic-derived therapeutics
to solve major under-treated health problems, announced the
publication of its patent application under the international
Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”) for innovative combinations of
Ketamine and N-Acylethanolamines.
The patent application was filed as a result of the Company's
continuous collaboration with SciSparc Ltd. (Nasdaq: SPRC)
(“SciSparc”), a specialized pharmaceutical company in the clinical
trial phase, dedicated to creating treatments for central nervous
system disorders.
As part of the collaboration, the two companies are researching
combination therapies that integrate SciSparc’s
Palmitoylethanolamide (“PEA”) with Clearmind’s innovative
psychedelic molecule, 5-methoxy-2-aminoindan (MEAI), aimed at
treating addictions, promoting weight loss and addressing mental
health disorders. Furthermore, the two companies are jointly
exploring new treatments based on different psychedelic molecules
and PEA. To date, thirteen patents related to this collaboration
have been filled with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, as well
as several other global jurisdictions.
In 2019, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (the “FDA”)
approved a ketamine derivative as a nasal spray medication for use
in adult patients. It is specifically intended to treat depression
in patients that have not responded to other treatments and to
alleviate depressive symptoms in individuals with major depressive
disorder (MDD) who are experiencing suicidal thoughts or exhibiting
suicidal behavior.
The approved treatment comes with strict usage guidelines. It
must be administered only at certified medical facilities and used
alongside an antidepressant medication. After receiving a dose,
patients are required to remain at the facility for a two-hour
observation period. This allows healthcare providers to monitor for
any potentially serious side effects that may occur.
Dr. Adi Zuloff-Shani, CEO of Clearmind, commented, "Through our
collaboration with SciSparc, and following extensive research
conducted by their team, we have discovered that combining PEA with
various different compounds has the potential to reduce treatment
doses while maintaining effectiveness and minimizing side effects.
Ketamine was approved by the FDA for use under close supervision
due to its associated side effects, including the risk of abuse and
psychological as well as physical dependence. Our ultimate goal is
to provide patients with safe and effective treatments that offer t
therapeutic benefits, while minimizing adverse effects. We believe
that the collaboration with SciSparc could lead to such
solutions.”
