VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 4, 2022 /CNW/ – Filament Health Corp. (OTCQB: FLHLF) (NEO: FH) (FSE: 7QS) (“Filament” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage natural psychedelic drug development company, today announced that Health Canada has approved a phase 2 clinical trial which will use the Company’s standardized natural psilocybin drug candidate PEX010 (1 milligram). The trial, studying the safety and efficacy of low doses of psilocybin in healthy subjects with persistent depressive disorder, will be led by Rotem Petranker, Director of the Canadian Centre for Psychedelic Science, and Dr. Norman Farb at the University of Toronto. The trial has received philanthropic funding from the Nikean Foundation.
“We are pleased to support this landmark Canadian trial through the donation of our standardized natural psilocybin,” said Filament Chief Executive Officer, Benjamin Lightburn. “Our team’s involvement in facilitating this trial is an important contribution to the spirit of psychedelic research. We have greatly enjoyed working with Rotem and his team, and look forward to continuing to closely collaborate on this trial. We are excited to learn about new applications for our drug candidates and to gather additional safety data.”
The placebo-controlled phase 2 trial is expected to begin dosing in the first quarter of 2022, and has been designed to include 100 healthy subjects experiencing symptoms of persistent depressive disorder. The trial will examine the effects of Filament’s botanical drug candidate PEX010 (1 milligram), a newly-developed microdose formulation based on PEX010 (25 milligrams), which previously received approval from the FDA to enter into a phase 1 clinical trial at the University of California San Francisco.
“The Filament Health team has been instrumental in getting this trial up and running,” said Rotem Petranker, Director of the Canadian Centre for Psychedelic Science and the study’s Principal Investigator. “I am excited to work with Filament, whose commitment to professionalism and Open Science has been unwavering. Filament’s product allows us to closely approximate the conditions under which people microdose in the real world, and I expect the results from this study to be very informative.”
