MindMedicine,  MindMed a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel product candidates to treat brain health disorders, today announced that the first patient has been dosed in its Phase 3 Voyage study of MM120 ODT, a pharmaceutically optimized form of lysergide D-tartrate (LSD) for the treatment of GAD. Voyage is the first of two Phase 3 studies in GAD evaluating the efficacy and safety of MM120 ODT versus placebo and is expected to enroll approximately 200 participants in the United States. The Panorama study, the second Phase 3 trial, will be conducted in the U.S. and Europe and is on track to initiate in the first half of 2025.

“Today marks a pivotal moment in our journey towards advancing a novel treatment option for the 20 million people in the U.S. living with GAD. Building on our scientifically rigorous Phase 2b study, which demonstrated efficacy that far exceeds today’s standard of care and a favorable tolerability profile, our Phase 3 studies are designed to adhere to the highest clinical and ethical standards and are in alignment with guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration,” said Daniel R. Karlin, M.D., M.A., Chief Medical Officer of MindMed.

The 52-week Voyage study will be conducted in two parts: Part A, a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group period; and Part B, a 40-week extension period during which participants will be eligible for open-label treatment with MM120 ODT based on symptom severity. The primary endpoint of Voyage will measure the change from baseline in HAM-A at Week 12, which is consistent with the durable clinical effect observed in the Phase 2b study.

“It is critical to continue to develop new and effective treatment options for patients with GAD, a debilitating condition where there is an urgent need for transformational innovation,” said David Feifel, M.D., Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego and Director of the Kadima Neuropsychiatry Institute in La Jolla, California and an investigator in the Voyage study. “The design of the MM120 ODT Phase 3 clinical program directly builds on the robust Phase 2b study results and incorporates best-in-class methodologies to mitigate the impact of functional unblinding, including the use of independent central raters blinded to both treatment assignment and visit number. The studies have also been designed to isolate the standalone drug effect of MM120 ODT from other psychotherapeutic intervention and follow industry best practices for safety monitoring.”
