– Over 50% of patients dosed across 20 active clinical sites –

– On track for topline results in late 2023 –

NEW YORK, May 17, 2023 — Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. (NASDAQ: MNMD), (NEO: MMED), (the “Company” or “MindMed”), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel product candidates to treat brain health disorders, announced today that the company’s Phase 2b study evaluating MM-120 (lysergide D-tartrate) for GAD is over 50% enrolled and dosed. The trial plans to enroll up to 200 participants who will receive a single administration of 25 µg, 50 µg, 100 µg or 200 µg of MM-120 or placebo. Topline results are expected to be announced in late 2023.

“We are thrilled by the quality and efficiency with which study enrollment has progressed as we approach our expected topline data release later this year. This progress is a testament to the tireless work and dedication of all the individuals executing this study and stands out as one of the fastest recruiting efforts for this class of therapies in development,” said Robert Barrow, Chief Executive Officer and Director of MindMed. “We have seen a meaningful acceleration in enrollment over the last few months since our full set of study sites were activated early this year with 25 patients enrolled just in the last 30 days. I would like to thank our team, the study investigators and their staff and the many patients who have helped us achieve this important milestone.”

The Phase 2b trial in patients diagnosed with GAD is a multi-center, parallel, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-optimization study. The trial plans to enroll up to 200 participants who will be randomized to receive a single administration of 25 µg, 50 µg, 100 µg or 200 µg of MM-120 or placebo. The primary objective is to determine the reduction in anxiety symptoms 4 weeks after a single administration of MM-120, compared across the five treatment arms. Key secondary objectives, measured up to 12 weeks after the single administration, include assessments of anxiety symptoms, safety and tolerability as well as other measures of efficacy and quality of life. More information about the trial is available on our website (mindmed.co), the trial’s website (anxietyresearchstudy.com) or on clinicaltrials.gov (identifier NCT05407064).
