Second major clinical trial to select PharmAla Biotech as supplier since PharmAla become the first public company to manufacture GMP MDMA
VANCOUVER, August 31, 2022 (Canada Newswire) – PharmAla Biotech is proud to
have been selected as the MDMA manufacturing partner for the University of Sydney’s
upcoming Phase 2 Clinical Trial. Founded in 1850, The University of Sydney is one of
the top universities in Australia.
There is a high rate of comorbidity between alcohol use disorders and Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder which is associated with greater clinical impairment and poorer
prognosis. Led by Dr. Kirsten Morley, Principal Investigator, the trial will examine
whether MDMA can enhance outcomes for patients with these treatment resistant
complexities.
“Australia is rapidly becoming one of the most exciting locations for MDMA research
anywhere in the world. I’m sure that the evidence gathered by Prof. Morley and the
University of Sydney team will add valuable data to this growing body of research,” said
Nick Kadysh, PharmAla’s CEO. “It’s also clear that PharmAla is rapidly becoming the
supplier of choice for clinical MDMA researchers worldwide; that our work can be used
to contribute to the scientific data surrounding this molecule.”
This is the second major Clinical Trial to select PharmAla as their MDMA supplier in
August alone. PharmAla’s LaNeo MDMA will be delivered to the University of Sydney in
2 tranches, with deliveries beginning in early 2023. The total contract value is
approximately $125,000 USD.
