Current report
Our lead product candidate, MM120, is a proprietary, pharmaceutically optimized form of lysergide D-tartrate that we are developing for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder ("MDD"). In December 2023, we announced positive topline results from our Phase 2b clinical trial of MM120 for the treatment of GAD. The trial met its primary endpoint, with MM120 demonstrating statistically significant and clinically meaningful dose-dependent improvements on the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale ("HAM-A") compared to placebo at Week 4. In March 2024, we announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") granted breakthrough designation to our MM120 program for the treatment of GAD. We also announced in March 2024 that our Phase 2b clinical trial of MM120 in GAD met its key secondary endpoint, and 12-week topline data demonstrated clinically and statistically significant durability of activity observed through Week 12.
Current report
On June 20, 2024, we announced the completion of our End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA, supporting the advancement of MM120 into pivotal trials for the treatment of adults with GAD. Our Phase 3 clinical program for MM120 orally disintegrating tablet (“ODT”) is expected to consist of two clinical trials: the Voyage study (MM120-300) and the Panorama study (MM120-301). Both trials are comprised of two parts: Part A, which is a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial assessing the efficacy and safety of MM120 ODT versus placebo; and Part B, which is a 40-week extension period during which participants will be eligible for open-label treatment with MM120 ODT, subject to certain conditions for treatment eligibility. Voyage is anticipated to enroll approximately 200 participants (randomized 1:1 to receive MM120 ODT 100 µg or placebo) and Panorama is anticipated to enroll approximately 250 participants (randomized 2:1:2 to receive MM120 ODT 100 µg, MM120 ODT 50 µg or placebo). We expect both trials will utilize an adaptive trial design with a blinded interim sample size re-estimation, allowing for an increase in sample size by up to 50% in each trial in the case of certain parameters. The primary endpoint for each trial is the change from baseline in HAM-A score at Week 12 between MM120 ODT 100 µg and placebo. On December 16, 2024, we announced the initiation of Voyage, with an anticipated topline readout (Part A results) in the first half of 2026. On January 30, 2025, we announced the initiation of Panorama, with an anticipated topline readout (Part A results) in the second half of 2026. Both trials are subject to ongoing regulatory review and discussions, which could result in changes to trial design, including of the Phase 3 clinical trials.
Current report
In addition to our Phase 3 clinical program for GAD, we are developing MM120 ODT for the treatment of MDD. In the first quarter of 2024, we held a pre-IND meeting with FDA to discuss the initiation of our Phase 3 clinical program for MM120 ODT in MDD and the trial design for our planned Emerge study (MM120-310), which like our pivotal trials in GAD, we anticipate will be comprised of two parts: Part A, which is a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group trial assessing the efficacy and safety of MM120 ODT versus placebo; and Part B, which is a 40-week extension period during which participants will be eligible for open-label treatment with MM120 ODT, subject to certain conditions for treatment eligibility. Emerge is anticipated to enroll at least 140 participants (randomized 1:1 to receive MM120 ODT 100 µg or placebo). The primary endpoint is the change from baseline in Montgomery Åsberg Depression Rating Scale ("MADRS") score at Week 6 between MM120 ODT 100 µg and placebo. We expect to initiate Emerge in the first half of 2025 with an anticipated topline readout (Part A results) in the second half of 2026. We expect to conduct a second Phase 3 pivotal trial in MDD, with the trial design and timing to be informed by the progress from Emerge and additional regulatory discussions.
Current report
Beyond our clinical stage product candidates, we are exploring additional programs, including through external collaborations, which we seek to expand our drug development pipeline and broaden the potential applications of our lead product candidates. These research and development programs include non-clinical, pre-clinical and human clinical trials of current and new product candidates and research compounds with our collaborators.
Current report
Our business is premised on a growing body of research supporting the use of novel psychoactive compounds to treat a myriad of brain health disorders. For all product candidates, we intend to proceed through research and development, and with marketing of the product candidates that may ultimately be approved pursuant to the regulations of the FDA and the regulations in other jurisdictions. This entails, among other things, conducting clinical trials with research scientists, using internal and external clinical drug development teams, producing and supplying product candidates according to current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMP”), and conducting all trials and development in accordance with the regulations of the FDA, and other regulations in other jurisdictions.
Current report
General and administrative expenses decreased by $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased professional services fees and expenses during the year ended December 31, 2024, partially offset by increased stock-based compensation expense and pre-commercialization activities during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Gain on extinguishment of contribution payable
Current report
Gain on extinguishment of contribution payable was $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. In June 2024, we made a lump sum payment of $0.3 million in full satisfaction of our remaining obligations of the contribution payable liability. As a result, both parties were subsequently released from any further commitments from the agreement. The difference between the fair value of the lump sum payment of $0.3 million, and the carrying value of the contribution payable prior to the settlement of $2.8 million, resulted in the gain on extinguishment of $2.5 million.
Current report
Our cash and cash equivalents and our working capital at December 31, 2024 was $273.7 million and $242.8 million, respectively. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024 will be sufficient to fund our operations into 2027. Based on our current operating plan and anticipated R&D milestones, we expect our cash runway to extend at least 12 months beyond the first Phase 3 topline data readout for MM120 ODT in GAD.

MM120 (Lysergide D-tartrate)
Previous report
On August 3, 2023, we announced that, based on a review of the Company’s statistical assumptions, the target patient enrollment for our Phase 2b trial evaluating MM120 (lysergide D-tartrate) for generalized anxiety disorder (“GAD”) has been lowered from 200 to 180 participants while maintaining the statistical power (approximately 90%) to achieve the trial’s objectives. However, on September 12, 2023, we announced that we had completed patient enrollment, with 198 patients having been enrolled in the trial who received a single administration of 25 µg, 50 µg, 100 µg or 200 µg of MM120 or placebo. In December 2023, we announced positive topline results from our Phase 2b clinical trial of MM120 GAD. The trial met its primary endpoint, with MM120 demonstrating statistically significant and clinically meaningful dose-dependent improvements on the Hamilton Anxiety (“HAM-A”) rating scale compared to placebo at Week 4. MM120 was administered as a single-dose in a monitored clinical setting with no additional therapeutic intervention. MM120 100 µg – the dose achieving the highest level of clinical activity – demonstrated a 7.6-point reduction compared to placebo at Week 4 (-21.3 MM120 vs. -13.7 placebo; p<0.0004; Cohen’s d=0.88). Clinical Global Impressions—Severity (“CGI-S”) scores on average improved from 4.8 to 2.4 in the 100 ug dose group, representing a two-category shift from ‘markedly ill’ to ‘borderline’ at Week 4 (p<0.001). This clinical activity was observed to be rapid and durable beginning on Day 2 and continuing through Week 4 with no loss of activity observed on either HAM-A or CGI-S.
Previous report
Additional secondary and exploratory endpoints included in the primary topline results included HAM-A response and remission rates and CGI-S scores. Clinical response (50% or greater improvement in HAM-A) at Week 4 was achieved in 78% of participants treated with MM120 (100 µg or 200 µg) compared to 31% for placebo. Clinical remission (HAM-A ≤ 7) at Week 4 was achieved in
Previous report
50% of participants treated with MM120 100 µg compared to 18% for placebo. CGI-S scores demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement compared to placebo in the 100 µg (p≤0.001) and 200 µg (p≤0.01) dose groups. On average, participants receiving MM120 (100 µg or 200 µg) experienced a 2-unit improvement in the CGI-S score at Week 4, with statistically significant improvements observed as early as one day after treatment and continuing at all evaluated timepoints through Week 4. We expect to present additional topline 12-week data from the trial in the first quarter of 2024 and to present full results at a scientific meeting in 2024.
Previous report
MM120 was generally observed to be well tolerated, with mostly transient mild-to-moderate adverse events ("AEs") that appear consistent with the pharmacodynamic effects of MM120. The overall four-week completion rate in the trial was approximately 90% and was 97.5% in the high dose groups, and no participants in the high dose groups discontinued due to an adverse event through Week 4. There were no drug-related serious adverse events. The most common adverse events (at least 10% incidence in the high dose groups) occurred on dosing day and included illusion, hallucinations, euphoric mood, anxiety, thinking abnormal, headache, paraesthesia, dizziness, tremor, nausea, vomiting, feeling abnormal, mydriasis and hyperhidrosis.
Previous report
We expect that results of this trial will support the advancement of MM120 into Phase 3 clinical development for GAD. We plan to hold an End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA in the first half of 2024 and expect to initiate Phase 3 clinical trials in the second half of 2024.
Previous report
In October 2023, we announced that the enrollment for our Phase 2a trial evaluating MM120 in a subperceptual repeat administration dosing regimen for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (“ADHD”) was completed. This proof-of-concept trial for the treatment of ADHD is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of repeated low-dose MM120 administration in 53 patients. In January 2024, we announced that our Phase 2a trial in ADHD did not meet its primary endpoint. We do not plan any further development activities for the sub-perceptual dose regimen. We believe that the results of our Phase 2a trial, in conjunction with the findings from our Phase 2b trial of MM120 in GAD, support the critical role of perceptual effects of MM120 in mediating a clinical response. We intend to continue prioritizing development of the MM120 program in GAD and other psychiatric indications, using the single perceptual dose (100 μg or greater) regimen that has shown strong positive results in numerous studies.
Previous report
In April 2023, our collaborators at the University Hospital Basel (“UHB”) released positive topline data from a double-blind, investigator-initiated trial evaluating lysergide in the treatment of major depressive disorder (“MDD”). The topline data demonstrated significant, rapid, durable and beneficial effects of lysergide and its potential to mitigate symptoms of MDD. The high dose lysergide regimen in which patients received 100 µg at their first dosing day and 200 µg at their second dosing day (separated by four weeks) resulted in statistically and clinically significant improvements on the primary endpoint, which was the change in clinician-rated Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (“IDS-C”) scores 6 weeks after the first administration as compared to control (whether or not the patient received a second administration). The control group in this trial received a lower dose regimen of 25 µg on both treatment days. Patients in the high dose arm (n=28) demonstrated a least square mean change from baseline in IDS-C scores of -12.9 points compared to -3.6 points in the lower dose arm (n=27, p=0.02). The statistically significant benefit as measured by IDS-C was maintained up to 16 weeks after the first administration compared to placebo (p=0.008). Data from the secondary endpoints were also encouraging. The investigational drug was generally well-tolerated, as indicated by reported adverse events, changes in vital signs and laboratory values.

Our Board approved a reverse share split of our common shares on a 15-for-1 basis, which was effected on August 26, 2022 and which brought the bid price of our common shares above the minimum bid price requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rules (“August Share Split”). No fractional common shares were issued as a result of the August Share Split. Each fractional common share remaining upon the August Share Split that was less than 1/2 of a common share was cancelled and each fractional common share that was at least 1/2 of a common share was changed to one whole common share. The August Share Split affected all common shares outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the August Share Split, as well as the number of common shares available under our stock option plan and equity incentive plan. In addition, the August Share Split effected a reduction in the number of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, vesting of Restricted Share Units and exercise of warrants outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the August Share Split. All references to common shares, options to purchase common shares, share data, per share data, and related information contained in this report have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the effect of the August Share Split for all periods presented.

MM402, or R(-)-MDMA, is our proprietary form of the R-enantiomer of MDMA (3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine), which we are developing for the treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder (“ASD”). MDMA is a synthetic molecule that is often referred to as an empathogen because it is reported to increase feelings of connectedness and compassion. R(-)-MDMA is thought to increase the levels of serotonin and, to a lesser extent, norepinephrine, and dopamine, in the brain, resulting in feelings of increased sociability and interpersonal emotional warmth. Preclinical studies of R(-)-MDMA demonstrate its acute pro-social and empathogenic effects, while its diminished dopaminergic activity suggest that it could exhibit less stimulant activity, neurotoxicity, hyperthermia and abuse liability compared to racemic MDMA or the S(+)-enantiomer. In the third quarter of 2022, our collaborator, UHB, began conducting a Phase 1 investigator-initiated trial of R(-)-MDMA, S(+)-MDMA and R/S-MDMA in healthy volunteers to compare the tolerability, pharmacokinetics and acute subjective, physiological and endocrine effects of the three molecules. We anticipate topline results from UHB’s trial to be presented in the first half of 2024. In addition, we have initiated our first clinical trial of MM402, a single-ascending dose trial in adult healthy volunteers in the fourth quarter of 2023. Our Phase 1 clinical trial is intended to characterize the tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of MM402 and will enable further clinical trials to characterize the effects of repeated daily doses of MM402 and the exploration of early signs of efficacy in the ASD population.

Our second lead product candidate, MM402, also referred to as R(-)-MDMA, is our proprietary form of the R-enantiomer of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (“MDMA”), which we are developing for the treatment of autism spectrum disorder (“ASD”). MDMA is a synthetic molecule that is often referred to as an empathogen because it is reported to increase feelings of connectedness and compassion. Preclinical studies of R(-)-MDMA demonstrated its acute pro-social and empathogenic effects, while its diminished dopaminergic activity suggests that it has the potential to exhibit less stimulant activity, neurotoxicity, hyperthermia and abuse liability compared to racemic MDMA or the S(+)-enantiomer. In October 2024, we completed our first clinical trial of MM402, a single-ascending dose trial in adult healthy volunteers. The data from this Phase 1 clinical trial helped to characterize the tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of MM402. We expect to initiate further trials of MM402 for the treatment of ASD, with the exact timing and scope of such trials to be determined.

Previous wording
Research and development expenses increased by $15.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to increases of $16.1 million in expenses related to clinical research and product development for the MM120 GAD trial, $2.6 million in internal personnel costs as a result of increasing research and development capacities, offset by a decrease of $0.7 million in expenses related to our MM402 program, a decrease of $0.8 million of expenses in connection with various external research and development collaborations, and a decrease of $1.2 million in expenses related to preclinical activities and the MM110 program.
Current wording
Research and development expenses increased by $13.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $11.4 million in expenses related to our MM120 program supporting the advancement into pivotal trials for the treatment of adults with GAD. The MM120 program completed a phase 2b trial in the first half of 2024, and has incurred increased expenses in relation to the initiation of phase 3 trials. Additionally, there was an increase of $2.1 million in expenses related to our MM402 program driven by progress in phase 1 studies, and an increase of $2.7 million in internal personnel costs as a result of increasing research and development capacities, partially offset by a decrease of $3.0 million in expenses related to preclinical activities.

Previous wording
We expect our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our current operating plans into 2026, if certain milestones are achieved that unlock additional capital under our credit facility. However, our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially. In order to complete the development of our product candidates and to build the sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure that we believe will be necessary to commercialize our product candidates, if approved, we will require substantial additional funding. Until we can generate a sufficient amount of revenue from the commercialization of our product candidates, we may seek to raise any necessary additional capital through the sale of equity, debt financings or other capital sources, which could include income from collaborations, strategic partnerships or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties or from grants. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our shareholders will be or could be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common shareholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, including restricting our operations and limiting our ability to incur liens, issue additional debt, pay dividends, repurchase our Common Shares, make certain investments or engage in merger, consolidation, licensing or asset sale transactions. If we raise funds through collaborations, strategic partnerships and other similar arrangements with third parties, we may be required to grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves. We may be unable to raise additional funds or to enter into such agreements or arrangements on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we may be required to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development or future commercialization efforts. We have based our projections of operating capital requirements on our current operating plan, which is based on several assumptions that may prove to be incorrect and we may use all of our available capital resources sooner than we expect. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with research, development and commercialization of product candidates, we are unable to estimate the exact amount and timing of our working capital requirements. Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including:
Current wording
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024 will be sufficient to fund our operations into 2027. Based on our current operating plan and anticipated R&D milestones, we expect our cash runway to extend at least 12 months beyond the first Phase 3 topline data readout for MM120 ODT in GAD.

Any change in fair value is recognized in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations. Issuance costs related to warrants were expensed within general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
We expense research and development costs in the periods in which they are incurred. External expenses are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using information provided to us by our service providers or our estimate of the level of service that has been performed at each reporting date. We track external costs by program, clinical or preclinical. We do not track internal costs by program because these costs are deployed across multiple programs and, as such, are not separately classified.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
