Termination of Contract with CCrest Labs

PharmAla and CCrest Labs have terminated their supply agreement. CCrest was contracted in 2022 to distribute PharmAla’s MDMA to doctors under the Special Access Program. PharmAla will rely on other contracted distributors to complete this work moving forward.
