TORONTO - Cybin Inc. (NYSE American:CYBN) (Cboe CA:CYBN), a neuropsychiatry company focusing on psychedelic therapies with a market capitalization of $148.3 million, has announced the expansion of its strategic partnership agreements to 18 clinical sites in the United States. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company maintains a strong liquidity position with a current ratio of 12.6, though it’s currently experiencing rapid cash burn as it advances its clinical programs. The stock appears undervalued based on InvestingPro’s Fair Value assessment. These partnerships are part of Cybin’s multinational Phase 3 program, which is evaluating CYB003, a proprietary psilocin-based therapy, as an adjunctive treatment for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). The program, known as the PARADIGM program, is currently in the APPROACH study phase and is expected to grow to approximately 45 clinical sites.
The company’s Chief Executive Officer, Doug Drysdale, highlighted the benefits of the strategic partnership agreements, stating that they leverage the expertise of each site to ensure consistent sharing of protocols and best practices. With analysts maintaining a strong buy consensus and InvestingPro identifying several key financial indicators, subscribers can access additional insights about Cybin’s development trajectory and financial health metrics. This collaborative approach aims to streamline trial operations and potentially reduce the time to trial completion. Drysdale also expressed satisfaction with the participation of key figures such as Kimball A. Johnson, M.D., and Paul Thielking, who bring significant experience in neuropsychiatric drug trials.
Cybin’s CYB003 has shown promise in Phase 2 trials, where two 16 mg doses administered three weeks apart resulted in a 71% remission rate from depression symptoms over 12 months in patients with MDD. The company continues patient dosing in the APPROACH study and anticipates the second Phase 3 study, EMBRACE, to begin in mid-2025.
The company, founded in 2019, also has CYB004 in a Phase 2 study for generalized anxiety disorder and a pipeline of investigational compounds focused on the 5-HT receptor.
