James Nevin's questions to Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc (MNMD) leadership • Q4 2024
Question
James Nevin of RBC Capital Markets inquired about early enrollment rates for the GAD trials compared to Phase II, the potential impact of increased psychedelic awareness on expectancy bias, and a perceived discrepancy in exclusion criteria for bipolar disorder between the Voyage and Panorama trial listings.
Answer
CEO Robert Barrow reported encouraging early enrollment trends but did not provide specific numbers, stating the patient population is expected to be very similar to the Phase IIb trial. He acknowledged that expectancy bias is inherent in late-stage trials but is accounted for in their robust design. He also clarified that the inclusion/exclusion criteria, including for bipolar disorder, are consistent across both studies.
