Research[edit]
Numinus Wellness is licensed by Health Canada to conduct research on psilocybin and other psychedelic compounds. The company is also focused on developing safe and effective methods for delivering psychedelic therapies, and operates several clinics where patients can receive these treatments under the supervision of trained medical professionals.
Numinus is one of several companies that are working to develop psychedelic-assisted therapies, which have shown promising results in the treatment of various mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, and addiction. As interest in these therapies grows, Numinus Wellness is well-positioned to play a leading role in this emerging field.
The company is seeking to conduct clinical trials related to MDMA-assisted psychotherapy treatments using practitioners. If the application is accepted by Health Canada, the trial will enable Numinus to establish the best number of therapists to most effectively run MDMA-assisted group psychotherapy programs.[3]
Cybin[edit]
Numiness' Cedar Clinical Research has been selected for Cybin's Phase 3 multinational clinical trial of CYB003, which is being developed to treat Major Depressive Disorder, a condition which affects over 20 million Americans. In Cybin's Phase 2 trial, 75% of participants achieved remission from depression symptoms four months after receiving CYB003, demonstrating the compound's promising effects and leading to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granting it breakthrough therapy designation. The Phase 3 trial, scheduled to begin enrollment in mid-2024, will further investigate the safety and efficacy of CYB003. Led by Dr. Paul Thielking, Numinus's Chief Science Officer and the trial's Principal Investigator, the study aims to explore CYB003's potential to address a significant unmet need in mental health care.[4]
Products[edit]
In addition to its research and clinical work, Numinus Wellness is also involved in the production and distribution of natural health products, including medical cannabis. The company's goal is to provide people with new and innovative ways to improve their mental health and overall well-being.
