“This successful upsized offering is well timed as we progress our lead development programs and candidates,” stated Doug Drysdale, CEO of Cybin. “It provides us important capital to fund a number of significant programs in parallel this year, including the acceleration of our first two deuterated tryptamine drug development candidates, the expansion of our phenethylamine program, development of our digital therapy support platform and the initiation of psychedelic studies including the Kernel Flow technology. The amalgamation of these programs should enable Cybin to optimize the patient experience,” concluded Drysdale.
