Cybin Says Phase 2 Data Show Potential Depression Drug Offers Relief Through 1 Year

MT Newswires Live11-18

Cybin (CYBN) said Monday that data from a phase 2 study show that CYB003, a potential adjunctive treatment for major depressive disorder, offers "sustained relief" through one year.

By 12 months, response rates for two 16-milligram doses of the drug given three weeks apart were 100% while 71% of the eight study participants were in remission, the company said.

Cybin said it recently initiated a phase 3 trial to evaluate CYB003's effectiveness and safety in a larger number of patients. The drug earlier received Breakthrough Therapy Designation from the US Food and Drug Administration for major depressive disorder, Cybin added.

The company also said it expects to report phase 2 results for CYB004 as a potential treatment for generalized anxiety disorder in Q1.

Cybin shares were up 11% in recent premarket activity.
