MindMed Advances Treatment for Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Biopharmaceutical company, Mind Medicine (Nasdaq: MNMD) has announced positive results from its Phase 2b clinical trial of MM-120 (lysergide d-tartrate) in generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). The trial met its primary endpoint, with MM-120 demonstrating statistically significant and clinically meaningful dose-dependent improvements.
Robert Barrow, Chief Executive Officer and Director of MindMed, said, “We are excited by the strong positive results for MM-120 in GAD, particularly given that this is the first study to assess the standalone drug effects of MM-120 in the absence of any psychotherapeutic intervention. These promising findings represent a major step forward in our goal to bring a paradigm-shifting treatment to the millions of patients who are profoundly impacted by GAD.”
MindMed expects to initiate Phase 3 clinical trials in the second half of 2024.
Highlights
Study MMED008 is a multi-center, parallel, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-optimization study. The trial enrolled 198 participants.
MM-120 demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful dose-dependent improvements on the Hamilton Anxiety rating scale (HAM-A) compared to placebo at Week 4. MM-120 was administered as a single-dose in a monitored clinical setting with no additional therapeutic intervention.
Clinical activity was observed to be rapid and durable, beginning on Day 2 and continuing through Week 4 with no loss of activity observed on either HAM-A or CGI-S. MM-120 was generally observed to be well tolerated.
MindMed expects to share additional study results in the coming months, including topline 12-week results in the first quarter of 2024, and will be working closely with FDA to finalize the Phase 3 development program for MM-120 in GAD.
GAD is a brain health disorder that results in fear, persistent anxiety and a constant feeling of being overwhelmed. It is characterized by excessive, persistent, and unrealistic worry about everyday things.
