Cybin Inc. Reports its Second Quarter Financial Results and Recent Business Highlights

Cybin Inc. (NEO: CYBN) (OTCMKTS: CLXPF), a biopharmaceutical company focused on progressing “Psychedelics to TherapeuticsTM”, today reported unaudited financial results for its second quarter ended September 30, 2021.

The first half of the year has been a transformative period for Cybin that included significant and swift advancements in our research and development pipeline and overall business. Through CYB003, we believe that we have identified a potentially safer treatment option for patients with depression and addiction disorders that we expect to have strong intellectual property protection and a positive pharmacokinetic profile for patients, providers and payers. We plan to move through the ongoing, remaining preclinical studies quickly and submit an investigational new drug application and clinical trial application in the second quarter of 20221, in the U.S. and the U.K., respectively.

Doug Drysdale, Chief Executive Officer of Cybin

Drysdale continued, “In addition, we continue to evolve our value-driving, patient-centered approach to potential treatments for mental health and addiction through our commitment to advancing programs such as EMBARK, that aims to facilitate psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy for frontline workers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as targeted research using the Kernel Flow neuroimaging technology that we expect will allow us to quantitively understand the psychedelic experience in the brain as it is happening. We believe these programs combined with our proprietary psychedelic new chemical entities have the potential to transform the treatment landscape for various psychiatric and neurological conditions.”

Recent Business and Pipeline Highlights:

  • Announced preclinical data for its novel deuterated psilocybin analog, CYB003, for the potential treatment of major depressive disorder and alcohol use disorder. The data demonstrated that CYB003 may provide significant treatment benefits to address the challenges and limitations of oral psilocybin, including improved safety through less patient variability, reduced clinic times through faster onset of action and shorter duration of effect, and lower dosing through improved brain penetration, which may result in fewer side effects, ultimately offering an improved patient experience. Cybin expects to complete the ongoing preclinical studies of CYB003 in Q1 2022 and submit an investigational new drug application (“IND”) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), and a clinical trial application with the U.K. Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency in Q2 20222.
  • Granted a Schedule I manufacturing license from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency for the Company’s Boston-area research lab that is expected to allow the Company to expand its internal research and development capabilities.
  • Received approval from the FDA for its IND application to proceed with a Company-sponsored feasibility study using the Kernel Flow quantitative neuroimaging technology to measure ketamine’s psychedelic effect on cerebral cortex hemodynamics.
  • Launched the EMBARK Psychedelic Facilitator Training Program in collaboration with the University of Washington in preparation for the first clinical trial of psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy to address COVID-19 related distress in frontline healthcare professionals.
  • Welcomed Dr. Amir Inamdar as Chief Medical Officer for European Operations; Dr. Geoff Varty as Head of Research and Development; and Leah Gibson as Vice President of Investor Relations.

Second-Quarter Financial Highlights

  • Cash and cash equivalents totaled to C$75.2 million as of September 30, 2021.
  • Net loss was C$17.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 of which non-cash expenses totaled C$6.0 million and cash-based operating expenses totaled C$11.6 million.
