Clearmind Medicine Announces Additional Topline Positive Safety Results Reinforcing Favorable Profile of CMND-100 in Ongoing Phase I/IIa Clinical Trial
Vancouver, Canada, Feb. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clearmind Medicine Inc. (Nasdaq: CMND), (FSE: CWY0) (“Clearmind” or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotech company focused on the discovery and development of novel neuroplastogen-derived therapeutics to solve major under-treated health problems, today announced additional positive safety topline results from the second cohort of its ongoing FDA-approved Phase I/IIa clinical trial evaluating CMND-100, the Company’s proprietary non-hallucinogenic MEAI-based oral drug candidate, for the treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD).
These further safety data points, emerging following the successful completion of treatment in another six patients of the second cohort, previously announced January 14, 2026, continue to strengthen the encouraging safety and tolerability profile previously established in the first cohort.
The results reinforce no serious adverse events and overall good tolerability, consistent with the favorable results reported from the first cohort, support the rapid progression enabled by the Company’s Data and Safety Monitoring Board’s (DSMB) unanimous approval to advance for the second cohort.
The Phase I/IIa clinical trial is a multinational, multicenter study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of CMND-100 in patients with moderate to severe AUD. The second cohort, conducted across leading sites, including Johns Hopkins University, Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, and Hadassah Medical Center, achieved full treatment completion shortly after DSMB clearance, underscoring continued confidence in CMND-100’s safety profile as a potential innovative therapy for AUD.
“These additional topline safety results from the second cohort further validate and reinforce the positive profile we observed in the first cohort,” said Dr. Adi Zuloff-Shani, Chief Executive Officer of Clearmind Medicine. “With no serious adverse events emerging and strong tolerability maintained, we are continuing to build compelling evidence for CMND-100 as a potentially safe, non-hallucinogenic, not adjunct to psychotherapy, treatment to address the significant unmet needs in alcohol use disorder.”
