Vancouver, Canada, July 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clearmind Medicine Inc. (Nasdaq: CMND), a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering nonhallucinogenic neuroplastogenderived treatments for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), addictions, and weight management, today announced positive safety results from Part A of its ongoing FDA-regulated Phase I/II clinical trial evaluating CMND-100, the Company’s proprietary MEAI-based oral drug candidate, for the treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD).
Clearmind reported that all 24 participants enrolled across four ascending-dose cohorts successfully completed treatment as planned per-protocol, reinforcing the strength of its proprietary drug candidate, CMND-100. The study achieved its primary endpoint of safety and tolerability. CMND-100 demonstrated a consistent safety profile throughout the dose-escalation phase, including at the highest dose evaluated in the fourth cohort. No serious adverse events were observed, and overall tolerability remained strong and consistent with earlier cohorts, further supporting the compound’s continued clinical advancement.
Clearmind noted that Part A of the study employed a sequential single-ascending- dose of approximately 20 mg, 40 mg, 80 mg, and 160 mg of CMND-100 in healthy volunteers (six participants per cohort). Successfully advancing through all planned dose levels while maintaining a favorable safety profile marks a meaningful milestone for a non-hallucinogenic neuroplastogen-derived therapeutic. Unlike classical psychedelic approaches, which often encounter practical and regulatory limitations due to perceptual effects; CMND‑100’s safety and tolerability findings, including at the highest dose tested, - support its continued development as a potentially accessible treatment option. These results further support the program’s differentiated clinical profile and reduce key early‑stage development risks as the asset progresses toward subsequent phases.
“These results further strengthen the safety foundation we have established for CMND-100,” said Adi Zuloff-Shani, PhD, CEO of Clearmind Medicine. “Successfully completing the full dose-escalation sequence in Part A with a consistently favorable safety and tolerability profile—including at the highest dose level-represent a significant milestone for the program. The data reinforce our confidence as we advance CMND‑100 and evaluate the next stages of development for patients with Alcohol Use Disorder.”
The multicenter trial is being conducted under FDA oversight at leading sites in the United States and Israel, including Yale School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, and Hadassah Medical Center. The Company is completing its assessment of the full Part A dataset and, assuming continued favorable findings, intends to progress to the subsequent stages of the clinical program including dosing AUD patients.
