Centre for Human Drug Research led DMT study to start in 2021
Vancouver, BC – December 1, 2020 – Entheon Biomedical Corp. (“Entheon” or the “Company”) (CSE: ENBI) (FSE: 1XU1), a biotechnology company focused on developing psychedelic medicines to treat addiction, announced it has entered into a Clinical Study Agreement with the Contract Research Organization (CRO) Centre for Human Drug Research (CHDR) to conduct an early phase human clinical trial with DMT.
CHDR is a Leiden, Netherlands-based contract research organization (CRO) that specializes in early-stage clinical drug research. Based on an agreement signed October 7th, 2020, Entheon has contracted CHDR to carry out a study to evaluate the pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics and safety of a target-controlled intravenous infusion of N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) (the “Product”) in humans.
CHDR research director of psychiatry, Gabiel Jacobs stated, “The CHDR psychiatry team is looking forward to the exciting collaboration with Entheon in conducting this data-intensive study with DMT in humans. Characterization of both its functional central nervous system effects and its impact on subjective experience, and to relate these to its pharmacokinetics, is crucial to properly understand DMT’s potential as pharmacotherapeutic.”
“This is a significant milestone in our mission to develop therapeutic protocols to treat substance use disorders. We believe that the CHDR’s renowned expertise in conducting early-stage clinicals trials and their use of innovative technology makes them an excellent CRO to partner with,” said Timothy Ko, Chief Executive Officer of Entheon. “With the CHDR’s partner pharmacy having successfully received an amendment to its opiate license to include DMT and having applied for its import permit for DMT, we are advancing on steps for our clinical trial, which is expected to start in the late summer of 2021.”
