Melbourne, Australia – Tryptamine Therapeutics Limited (‘ Tryp ’ or the ‘ Company ’) ( ASX: TYP ), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of an innovative and scalable intravenous-infused psilocin formulation which can be used in conjunction with psychotherapy to address significant unmet medical needs, is pleased to advise that it has agreed to terms with Dr Robin Carhart-Harris, PhD, to continue as Chair of the Company’s Scientific Advisory Board for a period of three years.

Dr. Carhart-Harris is a psychopharmacologist who currently serves as the Ralph Metzner Distinguished Professor in Neurology and Psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). He is globally recognised as a leader in the field of psychedelics research, and specialises in the design of brain imaging studies for psychedelic and psychoactive drug treatments including LSD, psilocybin, MDMA and DMT.

Dr. Carhart-Harris founded the Centre for Psychedelic Research at Imperial College London in April 2019, which was the first of its kind globally. He is also the Director of the Psychedelics Division within the translational neuroscience center, Neuroscape, at UCSF.

His extensive clinical experience includes a clinical trial of psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression and a multimodal imaging study in first-time users of psilocybin.

Dr Carhart-Harris commented: “I am pleased to extend my role as Chair of Tryptamine Therapeutics Scientific Advisory Board for another three years. By allowing rapid initiation and termination of the psychedelic experience, as well as providing highly refined control over the depth and duration of that experience, I believe TRP-8803 has a very strong potential to shift the treatment paradigm for fibromyalgia and binge eating disorder, as well as certain types of depression, pain and obsessive-compulsive disorders.”

Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jason Carroll said: “We’re thrilled to confirm the renewal of Dr Carhart-Harris’ role as Chair of the Scientific Advisory Board for another three-year term. As the Company advances its clinical development pathway for precision psychedelic therapies, we are committed to working with best-in-class industry leaders who can advise across all facets of the Company’s development suite. As a globally recognised leader in his field, Dr Carhart-Harris has provided valuable strategic insights in his role as SAB Chair to-date and we look forward to further leveraging his expertise in the years ahead as our clinical trial pathway progresses.”

About Tryptamine Therapeutics Limited

Tryptamine Therapeutics Limited is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing proprietary, novel formulations for the administration of psilocin in combination with psychotherapy to treat diseases with unmet medical needs. Tryp’s lead program, TRP-8803, is a proprietary formulation of IV-infused psilocin (the active metabolite of psilocybin) that alleviates numerous shortcomings of oral psilocybin including: significantly reducing the time to onset of the psychedelic state, controlling the depth and duration of the psychedelic experience, and reducing the overall duration of the intervention to a commercially feasible timeframe.

The Company has completed a Phase 2a clinical trial for the treatment of binge eating disorder at the University of Florida, which demonstrated an average reduction in binge eating episodes of greater than 80%. The Company is also preparing to initiate a Phase 2a clinical trial in collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital for the treatment of abdominal pain and visceral tenderness in patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome. Each of the studies is utilizing TRP-8802 (synthetic, oral psilocybin) to demonstrate clinical benefit in these indications. Where a positive clinical response is demonstrated, subsequent studies are expected to utilize TRP-8803 (IV-infused psilocin), which has the potential to further improve efficacy, safety, and patient experience.
