(Nasdaq: CMND) (“Clearmind” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotech company focused on the discovery and development of novel, non-hallucinogenic, second generation, neuroplastogen-derived therapeutics to solve major under-treated health problems, today announced the filing of a European patent application for innovative psychedelic compounds targeting the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other mental health disorders.
The European patent application forms part of the Company’s exclusive worldwide licensing agreement with Yissum Research Development Company of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (“Yissum”). Under the terms of the licensing agreement, Clearmind holds exclusive global rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize novel compounds developed at Yissum.
