PharmAla Biotech Holdings Inc. (CSE: MDMA) is pleased to announce that, in the wake of a landmark decision by the Therapeutic Goods Agency (“TGA”) of Australia on February 3rd, it has completed an agreement to sell a shipment of its GMP LaNeo MDMA to Emyria Ltd. Amidst growing interest in its products and technologies, PharmAla has submitted a trademark application for ‘LaNeo’ in Australia. The TGA’s regulatory change will make Australia the first country in the world to allow specially-licensed psychiatrists to prescribe MDMA and Psilocybin for certain conditions, beginning July 1st.
“Forward-looking companies are already moving to supply their clinical operations following the TGA’s regulatory change that will take effect on July 1st. While this is a nascent industry, we are committed to responsibly supplying our customers as they develop operational capacity. PharmAla has already been active in Australia – supporting no less than 3 different clinical trials with our LaNeo MDMA. We’re very pleased that, just 10 days after the change was announced, we’re in advanced discussions with a number of interested parties, and have already closed a new purchase order.”
Nick Kadysh, CEO of PharmAla Biotech
PharmAla is the only publicly-traded company currently manufacturing and exporting clinical-grade MDMA, and the only entity in the world that offers its customers both EU-GMP MDMA and EU-GMP Psilocybin. PharmAla’s current offerings include both API and EU-GMP encapsulated drug product. Its trademark filings in Australia also include the PharmAla brand name.
“We currently have a historic opportunity before us: to not only supply customers with high-quality EU-GMP API and drug products, but also to build one of the preeminent psychedelics operations in Australia – the country leading the world with regulations to support treatment,” said Dr. Shane Morris, COO, PharmAla Biotech. “PharmAla has worked hard to develop world class excellence in manufacturing and regulatory compliance. We look forward to the opportunity to share our product data not only with our partners and clinicians but with the TGA in future meetings.”
