Psychedelics Could Help Nearly 700 Million People Struggling with Mental Health Issues January 11, 2021 - Baystreet.ca A stunning mental health breakthrough has unleashed a massive opportunity. So much so, it could provide much-needed relief for nearly 700 million people around the world with mental health issues. The incredible thing is, it could all start with a small dose of psychedelics, like psilocybin. Not only is the US FDA supportive of research, dozens of medical studies are proving such treatments are impactful, including Johns Hopkins Medicine and New York University. Even cities and states around the U.S. have begun to decriminalize the use of psilocybin. Better, according to Compass Pathways’ CEO George Goldsmith, “A single experience, a single dose of psilocybin for many people, can create an immediate and sustained benefit for people suffering with depression.” With psychedelics gaining strong momentum, some of the top companies to watch include Cybin Inc. (NEO:CYBN)(OTC:CLXPF), Mind Medicine Inc. (NEO:MMED)(OTC:MMEDF), Compass Pathways (NASDAQ:CMPS), Numinus Wellness Inc. (TSXV:NUMI)(OTC:LKYSF), and Field Trip Health Ltd. (CSE:FTRP)(OTC:FTRPF). CYBIN Inc. (NEO:CYBN) BREAKING NEWS: CYBIN Inc.,a life sciences company focused on psychedelic therapeutics, is excited to announce that it has entered into an agreement with neurotech pioneer HI, LLC dba Kernel to leverage its innovative technology, Kernel Flow, for its upcoming sponsored clinical work. Click here to view the accompanying film. Flow is a full-head coverage, time-domain functional near-infrared spectroscopy system designed to detect hemodynamic changes in the brain that pulses light through the skull and into the bloodstream in order to measure how much oxygen the blood is carrying at any given time. Flow measurements can be used as analogues of local neural activity during a psychedelic experience. Cybin expects the quantitative measurements enabled by Flow may improve the development, delivery and scaling of its psychedelic therapeutics. “Access to Kernel’s innovative Flow technology adds another exciting dimension to the investigative work that Cybin is doing to develop breakthrough treatments for mental health disorders such as depression and addiction. Currently, clinical investigators rely on limited subjective information from patients. The ability to collect quantitative data from our sponsored drug development programs is potentially game-changing in terms of our ability to measure where psychedelics work in the brain in real time, and how we ultimately design our future therapeutics. We are delighted to partner with Kernel to study the utility of Flow in sponsored clinical settings. This new cornerstone component of our sponsored clinical programs follows a record-setting capital raise, listing on the NEO Exchange and the acquisition of Adelia Therapeutics Inc., which added significant scientific capabilities, novel molecules, delivery mechanisms and intellectual property,” stated Doug Drysdale, CEO of Cybin. “Cybin’s visionary approach to understanding and treating mental illness through psychedelic therapeutics opens a new frontier for addressing human health and wellness. This opportunity with Cybin will assist the transition from subjective self-reporting to longitudinal, quantitative measurements and insights, thereby offering the promise of data-driven, personalized treatment protocols that may significantly improve safety and efficacy,” stated Bryan Johnson, Founder and CEO of Kernel. Cybin intends to take delivery of Flow in the second quarter of 2021. Cybin plans to undertake sponsored studies in a range of clinical conditions and utilize insights gained from the data collected by Flow technology to inform the design of future clinical studies, support regulatory submissions and aid in the design of future molecules to address the needs of mental health patients.
