CYBIN ENGAGES THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC TO PROVIDE U.S.-BASED MANUFACTURING FOR ITS CYB003 PROGRAM FOR THE ADJUNCTIVE TREATMENT OF MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER
Cybin Inc. has engaged Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, to support the phase 3 clinical supply and potential commercial manufacturing of CYB003, the company's proprietary deuterated psilocin program in phase 3 development for the adjunctive treatment of major depressive disorder.
"This is an exciting time for Cybin as we focus on the execution of our phase 3 CYB003 pivotal program," said Doug Drysdale, chief executive officer of Cybin. "Thermo Fisher, which offers leading contract development and manufacturing organization services, has a successful track record across the manufacturing spectrum, and their expertise will help to accelerate our drug development trajectory. We are pleased to broaden our existing strong relationship with Thermo Fisher for both the drug substance and drug product capsules for CYB003. Cybin has established its manufacturing operations in the United States, including partnering with Thermo Fisher's pharma services sites in Florence, S.C., for phase 3 clinical supply and future commercialization, and Cincinnati, Ohio, for phase 3 capsule production and commercialization."
"Affiliating with a world-class manufacturing partner is critical for us as we advance this important program and address a significant unmet medical need in the treatment of mental health disorders," said Aaron Bartlone, chief operating officer of Cybin.
Vincent Hingot, president, drug substance and pharma services, at Thermo Fisher, added: "We are proud to partner with Cybin on their groundbreaking CYB003 program. Our collaboration underscores our commitment to leveraging our advanced manufacturing capabilities to support innovative treatments that address significant unmet medical needs in mental health."
In March, 2024, CYB003 received U.S. Food and Drug Administration breakthrough therapy designation. Among its many benefits, this designation provides an expedited review pathway and the potential to accelerate drug development timelines. It also includes all fast-track program features and acknowledges the significant unmet medical need for more effective treatments of MDD.
The company's phase 2 study results of CYB003 in MDD showed remarkable efficacy at 12 months, including a 100-per-cent response rate and a 71-per-cent remission rate among participants who received two 16-milligram doses. Based on the strength of the phase 2 study results, Cybin initiated Paradigm, its multinational pivotal phase 3 program evaluating CYB003 in a broader population of MDD patients, in November, 2024.
