NEW YORK, November 2, 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, today reported its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

“During the third quarter we continued to focus on execution ahead of several key data readouts in the coming months. This includes, in particular, topline results from our Phase 2b study of MM-120 in generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) which are anticipated by the end of this year. Additionally, we anticipate the initiation of our Phase 1 study of MM-402 by the end of this year and reporting topline data from our proof-of-concept study of MM-120 in ADHD by the end of Q1 2024.” said Robert Barrow, Chief Executive Officer and Director of MindMed. “The continued growth in prevalence and impact of GAD, ASD and other brain health disorders highlights the importance and timeliness of our innovative programs. Our team remains singularly focused on delivering novel treatments for brain health disorders to the millions of patients in need and we are eager to share these important milestones in the months ahead.” 

Recent Highlights and Anticipated Upcoming Milestones:

Phase 2b study evaluating MM-120 for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) in adults.

• Study MMED008 is a multi-center, parallel, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-optimization study. The trial enrolled 198 participants who were randomized to receive a single oral administration of MM-120 (25 µg, 50 µg, 100 µg or 200 µg) or placebo.
• The primary objective of the study is to determine the dose-response relationship of four doses of MM-120 versus placebo as measured by the change in Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) from Baseline to Week 4.
• Dosing is complete with topline results for the primary endpoint (Week 4) expected to be announced in Q4 2023.
• We anticipate the announcement of 12-week safety and efficacy results by the end of Q1 2024 and the presentation of the full data from the study at a scientific meeting in 2024.

Proof-of-Concept study evaluating repeated low-dose administration of MM-120 for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults.

• Study MMED007 is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. The trial enrolled 53 participants who were randomized to receive twice-weekly oral doses of MM-120 20 μg or placebo for 6 weeks.
• Topline results expected by the end of Q1 2024.
• The primary endpoint of this study is the mean change from baseline at Week 6 in ADHD symptoms, as assessed by the Adult ADHD Investigator Rating Scale (AISRS).

Advancing development of MM-402 (R(-)-MDMA) for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) into first clinical trial in Q4 2023.

• The Company plans to initiate its first clinical trial of MM-402 in Q4 2023. This Phase 1 study is intended to characterize the tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of MM-402, and to evaluate early signals of efficacy to support the Company’s approach in targeting core symptoms of ASD in adults.
• University Hospital Basel (UHB) in Switzerland, the Company’s collaborator, is currently enrolling participants in a Phase 1 investigator-initiated trial of R(-)-MDMA, S(+)-MDMA and R/S-MDMA in healthy adult volunteers. This trial is designed to assess the tolerability, pharmacokinetics and acute subjective, physiological and endocrine effects of the three molecules. The Company anticipates topline results to be presented in the first half of 2024.
• In October 2023, the Company presented results from a MM-402 nonclinical study in a model of ASD, titled “MM-402 demonstrates better efficacy than S(+)-3,4-MDMA or (±)-3,4-MDMA in Fmr1 knockout mice, an animal model of autism spectrum disorder” at the 36th Annual European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP) Congress.

Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Cash and Cash Equivalents Balance. As of September 30, 2023, MindMed had cash and cash equivalents totaling $117.7 million compared to $142.1 million as of December 31, 2022. The Company believes its available cash and cash equivalents as well as its committed credit facility are expected to fund operations into 2026, if certain milestones are achieved that unlock additional capital.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $43.8 million, compared to $37.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Research and Development (R&D). R&D expenses were $13.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to $7.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $5.4 million. The increase was primarily due to increases of $6.4 million in expenses related to clinical research and product development for the MM-120 GAD study, and $0.4 million in internal personnel costs as a result of increasing research and development capacities, partially offset by a decrease of $0.4 million in expenses related to our MM-402 program, a decrease of $0.2 million related to our paused MM-110 program, a decrease of $0.5 million in preclinical activities, and a decrease of $0.2 million in connection with various external R&D collaborations.

General and Administrative (G&A). G&A expenses were $8.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to $9.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $0.8 million. The decrease was primarily related to issuance costs related to the Company’s 2022 USD Financing Warrants that were issued as part of the Company’s public equity offering which closed on September 30, 2022.

Net Loss. Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, was $17.9 million, compared to $16.5 million for the same period in 2022.
