TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cybin Inc. (NYSE American:CYBN) (Cboe Canada CA:CYBN) (“Cybin” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage breakthrough neuropsychiatry company committed to revolutionizing mental healthcare by developing new and innovative next-generation treatment options, today reported unaudited financial results for its first quarter ended June 30, 2025, and is pleased to provide an update on key business milestones.

“With our recently announced funding agreement in place, we are well positioned to continue advancing our lead clinical programs, CYB003 and CYB004, through multiple inflection points,” said Doug Drysdale, Chief Executive Officer of Cybin. “Gaining European CTA approval and MHRA approval to commence EMBRACE in the UK has enabled us to expand our multinational Phase 3 PARADIGM program evaluating CYB003 for the potential adjunctive treatment of major depressive disorder. PARADIGM is a significantly larger program than the completed Phase 2 study, with anticipated combined enrollment of approximately 550 participants. Our Phase 3 studies will evaluate the potential clinical benefits of CYB003 in patients living with moderate to severe MDD, and whose symptoms are uncontrolled with existing antidepressant treatment. Our Phase 2 study evaluating CYB004 in generalized anxiety disorder is expected to complete patient enrollment this month.”

“Cybin is in a strong position to advance our programs and continue our work to deliver innovative therapies to address some of the most challenging mental health disorders we face today and is helping to build momentum across the sector - both from a clinical and regulatory perspective,” concluded Drysdale.

Recent Business and Pipeline Highlights:

Received European approval and MHRA approval for EMBRACE, the second Phase 3 study within the PARADIGM program evaluating CYB003 for the adjunctive treatment of MDD, on schedule. The Company has received CTA approval from the Irish Medicines Board for the EMBRACE study in Ireland, Poland, and Greece, as well as approval from the MHRA. EMBRACE is a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in 330 participants with moderate to severe MDD (MADRS≥24) who are on a stable dose of antidepressant medication but with inadequate response. EMBRACE will evaluate two doses of CYB003 (8 mg, 16 mg) three weeks apart, compared to an inactive placebo. The primary endpoint is change in depressive symptoms as measured by the change in MADRS from baseline six weeks after the first dose.

Making strong progress on CYB003 development through the APPROACH and EXTEND studies. Dosing is currently ongoing in the first pivotal study, APPROACH, which is expected to enroll 220 patients across 45 U.S. clinical sites. We are pleased to report that patient rollovers continue into EXTEND, the long-term extension study.
