The offering comes about a month after the company announced the issuance of a new patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) covering MM120 (lysergide). MM120 is currently in clinical development for adults with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and presents opportunities for treating a range of additional brain health disorders.
The newly issued patent (USPN 12,036,220) includes claims covering the pharmaceutical formulation, methods of manufacturing and method of treatment for MM120 ODT, MindMed's proprietary and pharmaceutically optimized form of lysergide (LSD). The pharmaceutical formulation patent is the first US patent issued on the MM120 ODT formulation and extends the company's intellectual property protection for MM120 through 2041.
