Clearmind Medicine Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Notification
Rhea-AI Summary

Peers on Argus 1 Up 1 Down
Pre-announcement momentum flagged the target as moving down, with one peer (PLRZ) also down and one (KTTA) up. Broader biotech peers (SXTP, TTNP, KTTA, PLRZ, SILO) showed mixed single‑digit moves, pointing to stock‑specific rather than sector-wide pressure.
Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 02 | Clinical trial update | Positive | -9.9% | First participant dosed at Hadassah site in ongoing Phase I/IIa AUD trial. |
| Dec 01 | Clinical milestones | Positive | -6.9% | Positive first-cohort data, DSMB continuation, and new Tel Aviv site enrollment. |
| Nov 25 | Site activation | Positive | -19.4% | Tel Aviv Sourasky site fully activated with first patient enrolled for AUD trial. |
| Nov 24 | Safety review update | Positive | +8.4% | DSMB interim review found no serious adverse events and backed trial continuation. |
| Nov 20 | Site expansion | Positive | -1.8% | Hadassah Medical Center activated as fifth global site in AUD trial. |
Recent clinical updates with generally positive safety/efficacy language often coincided with negative next-day price moves, suggesting a pattern of weak price follow-through on favorable trial news.
Over the last several weeks, Clearmind issued multiple Phase I/IIa clinical updates for CMND-100, including new site activations, positive interim safety data with no serious adverse events, and a unanimous DSMB recommendation to continue the trial. Despite this, four of the last five news events saw negative 24-hour price reactions, with only the Nov 24 DSMB update aligning positively. Today’s Nasdaq minimum bid price notice adds listing-risk context on top of this clinically focused news flow.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement details Nasdaq’s notice that Clearmind’s shares failed the $1.00 minimum bid price for 30 consecutive business days, triggering a 180‑day window to regain compliance.

Investors may monitor future financing terms, progress on clinical milestones, and any corporate actions aimed at restoring bid price and meeting all continued listing standards.
