Psyence Biomedical (Nasdaq: PBM) has entered into a conditional binding term sheet to acquire Clairvoyant Therapeutics Inc, a Canadian clinical-stage developer of psilocybin-based therapeutics. The acquisition involves issuing US$500,000in PBM common shares upon closing, with potential additional payments of up to US$500,000 based on milestones. PBM will also advance up to US$1,800,000 to settle Clairvoyant's liabilities.
Clairvoyant is currently conducting a Phase IIb clinical trial evaluating a synthetic psilocybin candidate for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). The trial has enrolled and treated 154 randomized double-blinded subjects, with topline results expected in early 2025. This acquisition could expand PBM's pipeline into AUD treatment and potentially transition the company to a commercial-stage, revenue-generating entity.
