BASEL, Switzerland, June 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Mind Medicine(MindMed) Inc. (NEO: MMED OTCQB: MMEDF) is expanding its Phase 2a clinical trial of LSD microdosing for Adult ADHD. MindMed is the leading neuro-pharmaceutical company for psychedelic inspired medicines and as part of its expanding slate of research and clinical trials, will add an additional clinical trial site and Principal Investigator at the University Hospital Basel in Basel, Switzerland, the birthplace of LSD for its Phase 2a clinical trial ofLSD microdosing.

MindMed’s microdosing division is pioneering the clinical development of consuming very low, sub-hallucinogenic doses of psychedelic substances. The company intends to continue building its microdosing division into a global leader for microdosing psychedelics and expand a diverse R&D pipeline of sub-hallucinogenic doses of psychedelics to treat various mental health issues including Adult ADHD.

MindMed is specifically interested in the adult segment for ADHD as it comprises over46.5% of the total ADHD medication market in the United States. The total U.S.market size for ADHD medications is currently valued at $12.9 billion annually.Of the estimated 10 million American adults that have ADHD, it is projected that a meager 10.9% actually seek and receive treatment for their condition.

MindMed Co-Founder & Co-CEO JR Rahn said,“The genesis of MindMed came as I was hearing anecdotal evidence from friends in Silicon Valley that microdosing was helping them to get off stimulant basedADHD medications and with other medical ailments. I started exploring and talking with leading scientists around the world and discovered that what is happening in the shadows should be brought to light, understood by the medical community and be available in a safe, regulated way, to everyone. MindMed is focused on becoming the global leader in microdosing to help millions who suffer from illnesses like ADHD. We are quickly amassing a strong group of preeminent clinical researchers and scientific minds to focus on this important and innovative work.”
