Clearmind Medicine Completed Type A Meeting with the FDA

 Clearmind Medicine Inc. (Nasdaq, CSE: CMND), (FSE: CWY) (“Clearmind” or the "company"), a biotech company focused on discovery and development of novel psychedelic-derived therapeutics to solve major under-treated health problems, today announced it has completed a Type A meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to discuss  the Company’s clinical trial of its proprietary MEAI-based, CMND-100 compound, for the treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder treatment (AUD) using its novel psychedelic- based therapy.

"We're pleased to report we recently met with the FDA to align on the content of our IND resubmission for CMND-100," said Dr. Adi Zuloff-Shani, CEO of Clearmind Medicine. “The meeting was informative and productive, and we’re eager to advance the U.S. regulatory process and potentially bring a new hope for millions suffering from AUD by providing an innovative approach to overcome the challenges associated with the current available treatments to date."

The active ingredient in CMND-100 is MEAI (5-methoxy-2-aminoindane), a novel psychoactive molecule that has been reported to reduce the desire to consume alcoholic beverages while exerting a euphoric alcohol-like experience. MEAI was found to interact with the serotonergic receptors 5-HT1a, 5-HT2a and 5-HT2b. The serotonergic system is considered to play a key role in the regulation of alcohol intake, reward, preference, and dependence. MEAI was also found to interact with the alpha-2-adrenergic receptors α2A, α2B and α2C and the plasma membrane monoamine transporters for dopamine (DAT), norepinephrine (NET) and serotonin (SERT); these are believed to participate in mediating alcohol drinking behavior, and therefore could constitute important molecular targets for interventions that target drugs of abuse such as alcohol.
