Numinus Wellness Inc. introduced its innovative and comprehensive psychedelic program for individuals suffering from mental distress associated with serious and chronic illness. Operating out of the Numinus Wellness UT and Cedar Clinical Research facilities, the program encompasses four key initiatives that showcase Numinus' commitment to advancing psychedelic research and its potential for healing. Group Psilocybin Pilot Study Numinus Chief Science Officer, Dr. Paul Thielking, is the senior author of a recently published study of the safety, feasibility, and possible efficacy of group-administered psilocybin for depressed cancer patients.

This study not only demonstrates the possible therapeutic benefits of psilocybin but also highlights the immense potential the group model holds for reducing the costs associated with psychedelic therapy. Numinus has also completed a group ketamine-assisted therapy intervention pilot for subjects suffering from chronic and serious illnesses. This pilot project showcased the effectiveness of ketamine-assisted therapy in alleviating depression and psychological distress associated with these conditions.

This endeavor underscores Numinus' commitment to exploring innovative psychedelic-assisted therapy models for patients in need of new treatment options. Group Psilocybin Project Building on the success of the ketamine pilot project and the group psilocybin study, Numinus is thrilled to announce an upcoming follow-up group psilocybin project. Approved by both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and an Institutional Review Board (IRB), this study will, among other things, reduce the therapist to patient ratio while continuing to evaluate the impact of psilocybin-assisted therapy on cancer patients with depression.

Subject to the availability of legal psilocybin- assisted therapy under applicable law, the results of this research may contribute to reducing costs and enhancing access for this patient population in the future.
