Novamind Unveils Stealth Mode Investment in Alto Neuroscience

Novamind Unveils Stealth Mode Investment in Alto Neuroscience

TORONTO, ON / October 22, 2021 / Novamind Inc. (CSE: NM | OTCQB: NVMDF | FSE: HN2) (“Novamind” or the “Company”), a leading mental health company specialized in psychedelic medicine, is pleased to unveil Alto Neuroscience (“Alto”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, as its previously announced stealth mode investment. In June 2021, Novamind made a US$1,000,000 strategic investment in Alto’s Series A financing led by Apeiron Investment Group.

Alto is redefining psychiatry by developing personalized and highly effective medicines to help patients get better faster. Its artificial intelligence-enabled platform measures biomarkers including electroencephalography (EEG) and wearable data, behavioural patterns, genetics and other real-world data, to match patients with the treatment they are most likely to respond to. Alto’s pipeline includes 11 clinical-stage drug candidates being developed across psychiatric conditions, with mechanisms targeting three key mental health domains: cognition, emotion and sleep.

“Alto’s model for precision psychiatry has enormous potential to help remove the trial-and-error process associated with the diagnosis and treatment of mental health conditions,” said Dr. Reid Robison, Chief Medical Officer at Novamind. “For too long psychiatry has not sufficiently accounted for the unique biological differences between individuals which can significantly impact how they respond to medications.”

Alto’s platform evolved out of more than a decade of clinical neuroscience research led by Dr. Amit Etkin’s lab at Stanford University. The body of work has since been validated by numerous publications in high-impact, peer-reviewed academic journals. In recognition, Dr. Etkin was awarded the prestigious Director’s Pioneer Award—the first to be awarded in clinical psychiatry—by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Dr. Amit Etkin, founder and CEO at Alto commented: “The work we are doing at Alto has the potential to transform the field of psychiatric medicine, to move beyond treatment approaches that leave patients cycling through medications. We believe identifying people most likely to respond to drugs we are developing, based on their biology, will get patients to the right treatment faster and result in substantially better outcomes. We are grateful to Novamind, and all of our investors, for their support of this important mission.”

Alto recently announced their emergence from operating in stealth, learn more about Alto by visiting www.altoneuroscience.com.

Novamind Granted DEA Licenses for Psilocybin Research

Novamind Granted DEA Licenses for Psilocybin Research

Licenses a key step in hosting contracted clinical trials for Schedule 1 controlled substances

TORONTO, ON / October 13, 2021 / Novamind Inc. (CSE: NM | OTCQB: NVMDF | FSE: HN2) (“Novamind” or the “Company”), a leading mental health company specialized in psychedelic medicine is pleased to announce it has been granted Schedule 1 licenses (the “DEA Licenses”) from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) for Dr. Reid Robison, Chief Medical Officer, and Dr. Paul Thielking, Chief Scientific Officer. The DEA Licenses are required for research sites planning to host clinical trials for psilocybin, enabling principal investigators to store and administer this controlled substance.

“Obtaining the DEA Licenses is a critical step towards hosting clinical trials for psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy,” commented Dr. Robison. “We’re proud of our clinical research organization’s track record investigating innovative solutions for central nervous system conditions. This milestone reflects our expertise and enables us to continue on our mission to create breakthroughs in mental health treatment.”

Psilocybin has shown significant positive outcomes for people with major depressive disorder1 and for reducing anxiety and depression in people with life-threatening cancer.2 As of today, there are over 50 clinical studies actively examining the use of psilocybin, as listed on www.clinicaltrials.gov.

“The DEA Licenses are timely,” said Dr. Thielking, who last week launched Psychedelic Palliative Care by Novamind, a first of its kind program to support the mental health of patients and families struggling with serious illness. “We anticipate that this progress will accelerate the approval process for us to become a research site for additional psychedelic clinical studies in the future.”

Novamind Launches New Psychedelic Palliative Care Program

Novamind Launches New Psychedelic Palliative Care Program

Specialized program to research and scale access to psychedelic medicine opens new doors for patients with chronic and serious illness

TORONTO, ON / October 7, 2021 / Novamind Inc. (CSE: NM | OTCQB: NVMDF | FSE: HN2) (“Novamind” or the “Company”), a leading mental health company specialized in psychedelic medicine, is pleased to launch Psychedelic Palliative Care by Novamind (the “Palliative Program”) at its recently opened clinic and research site in Murray, Utah.

Among the first-of-its-kind, the Palliative Program combines psychedelic medicine with psychotherapy, workshops, multi-day immersive retreats and group support for palliative care patients and families who are coping with chronic and serious illness.

“Patients receiving palliative care have higher rates of depression than the general population. Unfortunately, standard anti-depression and anti-anxiety treatments do not work for everyone, can cause side effects, and can take up to eight weeks to work,” explained Dr. Paul Thielking, Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) of Novamind. “Due to psychedelic medicine’s generally low side effect burden and fast-acting nature, it shows promise for patients who are physically ill and might have limited life expectancies.”

Through Novamind’s clinical research division, the Palliative Program will host studies to investigate the use of psychedelic medicine including ketamine and establish the infrastructure for future clinical studies examining psilocybin. This work will build on notable studies from New York University and Johns Hopkins University, which demonstrated psilocybin’s significant immediate and sustained improvements in anxiety and depression symptoms in cancer patients.

Prior to his role as Novamind’s CSO, Dr. Thielking developed ketamine-assisted treatment protocols for cancer patients experiencing depression at the University of Utah Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI). He also pioneered an ongoing HCI study examining the feasibility of group-administered psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy for cancer patients experiencing depression. Dr. Thielking leads the Palliative Program’s multidisciplinary team of mental health professionals specialized in palliative care and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.

“Our healthcare system struggles to support the millions of Americans dealing with emotional, spiritual and psychological suffering associated with chronic or serious illness,” noted Dr. Thielking. “Psychedelic Palliative Care by Novamind is designed to address this need, bringing together fast-acting medicine, innovative treatment options and therapeutic expertise in a safe, nurturing environment.”
