Blackhawk Growth’s MindBio Therapeutics Looks to Expand Microdosing Clinical Trials

Blackhawk Growth’s MindBio Therapeutics Looks to Expand Microdosing Clinical Trials

Vancouver, British Columbia – November 01, 2021 – Blackhawk Growth Corp. (CSE:BLR; Frankfurt:0JJ) (the “Corporation” or “Blackhawk”), is pleased to announce that MindBio Therapeutics Pty Ltd (“MindBio”) is working to expand its microdosing clinical trials. MindBio is a multi-disciplinary company pioneering new treatments for mental health conditions using psychedelic medicines, technology assisted mental health interventions and psychedelic assisted psychotherapies.

MindBio is currently undertaking a world’s first clinical trial of its kind. In its phase 1 clinical trial microdosing LSD (Lysergic Acid Diethylamide), MindBio is microdosing LSD to 80 healthy participants who take the drug at home in the same way that they would take any other medication. MindBio will lead phase 2 clinical trials microdosing LSD to patients with major depressive disorder and in patients with late-stage cancer – with those trials set to begin in mid-2022.

Pre-clinical research has demonstrated that psychedelic substances, including LSD, psilocybin, ayahuasca and DMT, affect neuroplasticity after acute and chronic administration. The data generated from in-vitro studies conducted by the Beckley Foundation1 demonstrated neuroplasticity by the presence of Brain Derived Neurotropic Factor (BDNF) in blood plasma. Studies conducted at the University of California, Davis2 have also shown that microdosing psychedelics such as LSD and psilocybin promote increased neurite growth, spine density and synaptogenesis.

MindBio is currently assessing natural psilocybin and potential analogs as a candidate for phase 1 microdosing clinical trials. The company can scale microdosing clinical trials to other substances quickly and cost effectively. MindBio is seeking advice on designing the clinical trial protocols given the potential for psilocybin to treat a number of mental health conditions such as major depressive disorder, PTSD and anxiety.

In addition, Blackhawk’s CEO, Frederick Pels, will be contributing to the psychedelics microdosing discussions at the upcoming Wonderland convention in Miami, where MindBio is a Gold Sponsor. The event is being promoted by conference organiser Microdose as “the biggest psychedelics business event, ever”.

Blackhawk Growth Appoints New Advisor to Support Expansion into Psychedelics And Mental Health Treatments

Blackhawk Growth Appoints New Advisor to Support Expansion into Psychedelics And Mental Health Treatments

Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire – October 14, 2021 – Blackhawk Growth Corp. (CSE:BLR) (CNSX:BLR.CN) (Frankfurt:0JJ) (the “Company” or “Blackhawk”) is pleased to announce that Dr. Lahiru Russell from Digital Mind Technology has been appointed as a medical advisor to Blackhawk.

Dr. Russell, with over 10 years of experience in clinical trials and research in psycho-oncology, is developing a platform for mindfulness-based interventions to promote self-regulation of emotions and thoughts to reduce negative mental health conditions.

Dr. Russell has transferred all her relevant intellectual property to Digital Mind Technology including proven clinical tools (developed from clinical research with 69 patients diagnosed with advanced stage Melanoma), for actively engaging and treating patients to help cope with the negative mental health outcomes of their illness. MindBio currently has a commercialization agreement with Digital Mind Technology.

In addition, MindBio is planning to implement Google Cloud’s “Health Care Solutions” for its international clinical trials to better manage clinical trials and analysis of data for drug development.

Google has developed cloud solutions that can help accelerate drug development and clinical trials to bring therapies to patients faster. With the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) MyStudies Application integration, the Google Cloud uses mobile tools to recruit, enroll, and engage with patients, collecting data directly from participants in a regulatory-compliant manner.

MindBio’s partner, Digital Mind Technology, will provide consulting services to MindBio on best practices and implementation of the Google health solution. Digital Mind Technology, run by Dr. Lahiru Russel, has used Google’s health solutions extensively in her clinical trials and PhD. The intellectual property and knowledge of these trials have been transferred to Digital Mind where she is now building a platform for mindfulness interventions to promote self-regulation of emotions and thoughts that lead to a reduction in mental health conditions.

“Dr. Russell is a welcome addition to our team” said Frederick Pels, CEO of Blackhawk Growth Corp. “Her experience will be a relied upon asset for MindBio, Leichtmind and Trip Pharma. I look forward to updating shareholders with our progress as we continue to grow our life science initiative.”

Blackhawk Growth’s MindBio Therapeutics Brings Digital Mental Health Technology To Psychedelics Clinical Trials

Blackhawk Growth’s MindBio Therapeutics Brings Digital Mental Health Technology To Psychedelics Clinical Trials

Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire – October 7, 2021 – Blackhawk Growth Corp. (CSE:BLR) (CNSX:BLR.CN) (Frankfurt:0JJ) (the “Company” or “Blackhawk”) is pleased to announce that MindBio Therapeutics is developing a mental health technology platform to integrate with psychedelic treatments in clinical trials in patients suffering pain who are susceptible to depression, existential distress and anxiety.

MindBio, a 100% owned subsidiary of Blackhawk, through its recent collaboration agreement with Digital Mind Technology, has begun to develop solutions to prevent deteriorating mental health. Cancer patients suffering pain will be able to access these solutions through their mobile devices, desktops and wearables.

Pain, endured unsustainably can lead to depression and anxiety. The foundational research and product development being progressed by MindBio, in its collaboration with Digital Mind Technology, is about creating new digital models to intervene in pain management experienced in cancer patients. The aim is to create interventions using technology to prevent negative mental health outcomes and apply these learnings to diverse patient cohorts.

MindBio Therapeutics aims to commercialize the intellectual property globally. As recently seen in Europe, some of these digital and web applications have the potential to reach reimbursement status, where therapeutic bodies and governments provide funding for the use of these digital therapeutics by doctor’s prescription. The first prescription digital health applications were approved for reimbursement in Germany in September 2020 by the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices. Since then, many web applications have been reimbursed for use in a wide range of conditions including tinnitus, insomnia, anxiety, pain, obesity, migraine, and multiple sclerosis1.

Concurrently, MindBio Therapeutics through its psychedelics microdosing program at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, has had Phase 2 clinical trials microdosing LSD in late-stage cancer patients approved by the New Zealand government who have committed NZ$250,000 in funding to support this important efficacy work.  In these trials, a small group of late-stage cancer patients will be trialled on a drug only vs a drug and mindfulness therapy and if successful will lead to a much larger phase 2 clinical trial.

MindBio is actively partnering and looking for acquisitions in technology solutions, clinics and treatments that fit strategically alongside its clinical trial drug development research activities.

“We are very pleased to be pioneering this collaboration and leading a multi-disciplinary framework in the psychedelics and mental health treatments ecosystem” says Frederick Pels, CEO of Blackhawk Growth Corp. “This important work in mental wellness technology, digital therapies and psychedelics clinical research in oncology is paving the way for novel and emerging treatments to change the way mental health treatments are provided around the world.”

Managing pain across the globe

BLACKHAWK GROWTH’S MINDBIO THERAPEUTICS BRINGS DIGITAL MENTAL HEALTH TECHNOLOGY TO PSYCHEDELICS CLINICAL TRIALS

Could microdosing + this new technology reduce pain in cancer patients?

MindBio Therapeutics is developing a technology platform to integrate with psychedelic therapy to prevent the mental health of cancer patients from deteriorating.

By utilizing wearable devices, the platform is designed to help with pain management to prevent depression, existential distress and anxiety.

MindBio Therapeutics will use the mindfulness app in an upcoming  Phase 2 microdosing trial, which is funded by the New Zealand government, to see if it provides additional benefits to late-stage cancer patients compared to microdosing alone.

The company aims to commercialize the application globally and believes the tech has potential to receive government funding in Europe.

Blackhawk Growth’s MindBio Therapeutics Successfully Progressed to the Second Half of their Phase 1 Microdosing Clinical Trial

Blackhawk Growth’s MindBio Therapeutics Successfully Progressed to the Second Half of their Phase 1 Microdosing Clinical Trial

Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire – October  04, 2021 – Blackhawk Growth Corp. (CNSX:BLR.CN) (OTC:BLRZF) (Frankfurt:0JJ) (the “Company” or “Blackhawk”) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, MindBio Therapeutics, has successfully progressed to the second half of their fully funded Phase 1 clinical trial microdosing LSD to patients – this is the largest and first safety study of its kind anywhere in the world. The progress in its clinical trials makes MindBio a step closer towards commercialization and bringing new therapies to market.

The clinical trials have been approved by the New Zealand Government who also contributed NZ$600,000 in funding to support this important safety study. Furthermore, the Government of New Zealand has provided an import license and approval for the substances to be administered at home. It is the first clinic trial of its kind in the world that tests microdosing of 80 participants with psychedelics in a community setting.

MindBio is developing into a multi-disciplinary psychedelics platform conducting clinical trials and drug formulation, and technology development through its agreement with Digital Mind Technology and psychedelic assisted therapies with LeichtMind clinics that is also owned by Blackhawk.

“These clinical trials are a first of their kind, anywhere in the world and are unique because of the fact that the New Zealand Government has given approval for LSD to be imported, experimented with in a laboratory and for a doctor to prescribe LSD in microdoses for patients to take at home as they would any other medication” says Frederick Pels, CEO of Blackhawk Growth Corp.  “We are very pleased that the clinical trials have completed their first half and are progressing towards the finish line within budget and timeframes. We look forward to updating our shareholders in the coming weeks.”

Blackhawk Growth’s MindBio Therapeutics Signs Collaboration Agreement With Digital Mind Technology Technology

Blackhawk Growth’s MindBio Therapeutics Signs Collaboration Agreement With Digital Mind Technology

Vancouver, British Columbia – September 29, 2021 – Blackhawk Growth Corp. (CSE:BLR; Frankfurt:0JJ) (the “Company” or “Blackhawk”) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, MindBio Therapeutics, has signed an agreement with Digital Mind Technology Pty Ltd, (“Digital Mind”) a medical research and technology company developing evidence-based digital interventions to improve mental health and wellbeing. The agreement will see the two companies collaborate on product development and the commercialization of intellectual property.

Digital Mind’s foundational research and product development is creating new digital models to intervene in pain management experienced in cancer patients. Digital Mind’s platform and technology will provide unique opportunities to empower patients to adopt healthy self-care behavior for long-term wellbeing. Cancer survivorship brings unique challenges related to self-care and health services utilization. Digital interventions can address these challenges through personalized information tailored to individual needs and accessible at people’s own convenience via mobile devices.

Digital Mind was founded by Chief Scientist Dr. Lahiru Russell PhD. Dr. Russell’s vision is to empower people to engage in healthy self-care strategies to manage the impact of their illness for their long-term wellbeing.

Dr. Russell graduated with a Master in Biochemistry from the University of Geneva, Switzerland. Dr. Russell has worked for a decade in the pharmaceutical industry managing clinical trials. Over the years, Dr. Russell developed an interest in the psychosocial adaptation to illness and strategies to manage stress-related aspects of diseases. Her studies in Epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (UK) stimulated her desire to undertake research in this field. Following this, Dr. Russell joined the psycho-oncology research team at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne, Australia, evaluating supportive care interventions for people affected by cancer.

“Digital Mind Technology will be a great platform to advance research and launch new digital mind-body therapies” said Dr. Lahiru Russell. “We aim to build a strong body of evidence around the beneficial impact of these therapies on the mental health of people with chronic conditions. Our collaboration with MindBio will transform the way people manage their health.”

Coupling her personal interest in mindfulness practices and her professional experience in psycho-oncology, Dr. Russell’s PhD research was designed to determine whether a mindfulness program could benefit people with melanoma. The focus of the program was to empower participants to manage their health by promoting awareness of emotions and teaching skills to manage distressing thoughts. Central to the success of the program was the flexibility offered to participants to access the information at their own convenience.

Executive Director of MindBio Therapeutics, Justin Hanka says: “MindBio is evolving into a multidisciplinary company involved in integrating research & clinical trials, clinics, technology and digital therapies. We are excited to have signed an agreement with Digital Mind Technology to expand MindBio’s footprint into technology and digital therapeutics that benefits people with mental health and chronic conditions.”
