TAMPA, Fla., July 13, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Psilera Inc., formerly Psilera Bioscience ("Psilera"), a Florida-based biotechnology company specializing in the clinical development of psychedelics and analogues, has entered a consulting contract with Worldwide Clinical Trials ("Worldwide") the industry's leading global, midsized, full-service contract research organization (CRO), to ensure the pre-IND filing of its patent-pending dimethyltryptamine (DMT) patch. This will enable the company to move forward with anticipated Phase 1b clinical trials testing safety and efficacy in humans in 2022.
The scope of work outlines the accrual of generated data and prior clinical results with DMT, a briefing protocol and study synopsis, and a consultative pre-IND meeting with the FDA. The team at Worldwide includes industry leaders in neurology, psychiatry, and regulatory affairs with proven experience in FDA guidance on psychedelic compounds.
"We look forward to working with the impressive team at Worldwide as this brings us another step closer to human trials." said Dr. Chris Witowski, Co-Founder and CEO of Psilera. "Their expertise is world renowned, and we have no doubt that they will be a crucial partner for us in bringing forth Psilera's next generation mental health therapies to future patients."
Psilera has developed a comprehensive intellectual property portfolio including transdermal drug delivery devices. Transdermal administration can deliver drugs directly into the bloodstream and reduce DMT metabolism while providing steady, sub-psychedelic dosages. This innovative drug delivery method combined with DMT's broad therapeutic potential could lead to a revolutionary new line of psychiatric medicines.
Several preclinical studies have been completed to date with Psilera's DMT patch and work has begun to file an investigational new drug (IND) with the FDA in Q4 2021.
