COMPASS Pathways to fund study of COMP360 psilocybin in autistic adults
COMPASS Pathways (CMPS) is funding a psilocybin study to better understand the brain science of neurodiversity.
Using brain imaging and behavioural tasks, researchers will investigate how psilocybin affects the serotonin brain networks in autistic adults compared to non-autistic adults.
The goal is to understand the unique brain mechanisms associated with autism to provide “better tailored choices” to autistic people.
CMPS shares spiked 11% yesterday after the company announced Q1 financial results, including $21.2M net loss and $243.7M in cash.
