Psilocybin for Alcohol Dependence Trial by B.More Principal Investigator, Michael Bogenschutz, Recognized as Pivotal Psychedelic Breakthrough for 2022

Greenwich, Connecticut, December 20, 2022 – B.More Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of psychedelic medicines for substance abuse disorders, is proud to announce that the psilocybin for alcohol use dependence (AUD) trial by its Principal Investigator, Michael Bogenschutz, Director of the NYU Langone Center for Psychedelic Medicine, has been cited by the publication PSYCH as one of the key developments in psychedelics for 2022.

“The publication of Michael’s trial in JAMA Psychiatry, with its reported 83% average reduction in alcohol consumption among heavy drinkers, was one of the biggest psychedelics stories of the year, so we are not at all surprised at this acknowledgement of the significance of the trial’s findings”, said Carey Turnbull, B.More Co-founder and CEO. “B.More’s psilocybin for AUD Phase 2b clinical trial will be critical in advancing better treatment options for the 14.5 million Americans struggling with AUD and we are thrilled to have Michael Bogenschutz leading that work as our Principal Investigator.”

B.More’s Phase 2b, multicenter, randomized, double blind, active placebo-controlled trial will examine the efficacy and safety of synthetic psilocybin (SYNP-101) for the treatment of moderate to severe AUD. The trial plans to enroll a total of 210 participants who will receive psychotherapy and one administration of 30mg of SYNP-101 or the active placebo, niacin. The primary objective of the trial is to determine the efficacy of SYNP-101, compared to niacin, in reducing alcohol consumption during 24-weeks following treatment.
