Psilera Inc., a biopharmaceutical company optimizing next-generation mental health treatments, announces the patent approval of N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and psilacetin (4-AcO-DMT and psilocybin-like prodrug) transdermal patch formulations. Transdermal application allows patients to dose topically while receiving treatment through the surface of their skin, overcoming the need for intravenous needles and episodic oral dosing. This patient-first approach may solve many of the current industry pitfalls, such as length of treatment time, lack of take-home treatment options, and insurance reimbursement.
“This patent allowance from the U.S. Patent Attorney’s Office marks a flagship milestone for Psilera and the broader mental health industry. We expect several patent issuances for Psilera’s new chemical entity library, formulations, and methods of use and treatment over the coming months.”
Dr. Chris Witowski, Co-Founder and CEO of Psilera.
Psilera is actively discussing potential patent out-licensing and partnership opportunities with parties interested in working together for first-in-human clinical trials. Currently, Psilera has projects with leading industry, governmental, and academic institutions to study the safety and therapeutic effects of DMT and psilacetin administered in sub-hallucinogenic dosages.
