The dose-ascending, multi-cohort clinical trial is expected to commence in the fourth quarter of this year, and has been designed for measuring the tolerability and safety of the company’s lead candidate, EB-373.

The next-generation psilocin prodrug EB-373 has been developed using the Psybrary drug discovery platform of Enveric Biosciences to target anxiety disorders. It was found to effectively interact with different serotonin receptor types, including the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor, in preclinical studies.

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) of Australia has recognised EB-373, which is currently in the preclinical development, as a New Chemical Entity (NCE).
