VANCOUVER, BC, June 5, 2023 /CNW/ - Numinus Wellness Inc. ("Numinus" or the "Company") (TSX: NUMI) (OTCQX: NUMIF), a mental health care company advancing innovative treatments and safe, evidence-based psychedelic-assisted therapies, is pleased to announce Cedar Clinical Research (CCR) is a top research site for MindMed's Phase 2b study evaluating MM-120 (lysergide D-tartrate) for General Anxiety Disorder. 

CCR's research clinic in Draper, Utah, is the top enrolling site for the research study – having enrolled and dosed 19 clinical trial participants for the study to date. CCR also recently began enrolling volunteers for this trial at a second research clinic – in Murray, Utah.

"We're excited to support MindMed in their clinical trial work, by evaluating new important treatments and protocols to address mental health disorders," said Paul Thielking, Chief Science Officer, Numinus, and Principal Investigator at CCR Murray. "The fact that our Draper research clinic is the top enrolling site for the study underscores the quality of our clinical research capabilities and recruiting efforts."

The MindMed study aims to enroll up to 200 participants who will receive a single administration of 25 µg, 50 µg, 100 µg or 200 µg of MM-120 or placebo. Topline results are expected to be announced by MindMed in late 2023.
