Mind Medicine (NASDAQ:MNMD) stock is on the rise Friday after releasing positive results from a Phase 2 clinical trial.
That clinical trial saw the company testing the effectiveness of treating MDD with LSD. The company says it saw “significant, rapid, durable and beneficial effects” when using lysergide to treat major depressive disorder.
To go along with that, Mind Medicine mentions that secondary results from the clinical trial were also encouraging. Additionally, lysergide was well tolerated by patients taking part in the clinical trial.
Robert Barrow, Director and CEO of Mind Medicine, said the following about the news:
“The statistically and clinically significant improvements observed in this study reinforce preliminary findings that have shown the clinical potential of lysergide in anxiety, depression and other brain health disorders. These positive findings are particularly relevant to our MM-120 program in generalized anxiety disorder, given the high degree of comorbidity of GAD and MDD.”
