Cybin completes enrollment in phase 2 DMT anxiety study

TORONTO - Cybin Inc. (NYSE American:CYBN) (Cboe CA:CYBN), a clinical-stage biotech company with a market capitalization of $152.45 million and currently trading at $6.42, has completed enrollment of 36 participants in its Phase 2 study of CYB004, a deuterated dimethyltryptamine (DMT) program for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), according to a company press release. Topline data from this study is expected in the first quarter of 2026. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company appears undervalued based on its Fair Value metrics.

The clinical-stage neuropsychiatry company is simultaneously advancing CYB003, its proprietary deuterated psilocin analog, in Phase 3 studies for major depressive disorder (MDD). The first pivotal study, called APPROACH, is currently dosing patients and aims to enroll 220 participants across 45 U.S. clinical sites. InvestingPro data shows the company maintains a strong liquidity position with a current ratio of 9.87, though it’s currently experiencing rapid cash burn - one of several key insights available to Pro subscribers.

A second Phase 3 study called EMBRACE is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2025, targeting 330 participants with moderate to severe MDD. This study has received approval to initiate in Australia, Ireland, Poland, Greece, and the United Kingdom.

The company reports that its CYB003 program has shown promising durability in Phase 2, with 100% response rates and 71% remission rates maintained at 12 months following two 16mg doses. The program has received Breakthrough Therapy Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Cybin has partnered with Thermo Fisher Scientific for U.S.-based commercial-scale manufacturing capabilities for the CYB003 program, establishing two dedicated facilities for Phase 3 clinical supply and potential future commercialization.

The company has built what it describes as a sector-leading intellectual property portfolio with over 100 granted patents and 250+ pending applications, which it claims provides exclusivity until 2041.

"We have established a leading position in the psychedelic therapeutics space through Cybin’s proprietary drug discovery platforms that combine novel deuterated molecules with innovative drug delivery systems," said Eric So, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Cybin, in the press release. While the company holds more cash than debt on its balance sheet, InvestingPro analysis indicates analysts have recently revised their earnings expectations downward for the upcoming period.
