MindMed announces first patient dosed in Panorama, the second pivotal phase 3 study of MM120 in generalized anxiety disorder
This press release announces: "Panorama is the second Phase 3 trial of lysergide D-tartrate (LSD) with the primary endpoint measuring the change from baseline in the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) score at week 12 for MM120 Orally Disintegrating Tablet (ODT) 100 µg vs placebo. Panorama builds on positive Phase 2b study results presented at the American Psychiatric Association’s Annual Meeting in May 2024 and will be conducted at sites in the US and Europe. Topline data from the 12-week double-blind period anticipated in the second half of 2026." The company states: "The clinical trial design of the 52-week Panorama study is aligned to Voyage and will be conducted in two parts: Part A, a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group period; and Part B, a 40-week extension period during which participants will be eligible for open-label treatment with MM120 ODT based on symptom severity. Participants will be randomized 2:1:2 to receive MM120 ODT 100 µg, MM120 ODT 50 µg, or placebo. The 50 µg arm serves to confound participants’ ability to accurately assess the dose condition to which they have been randomized. This approach builds on the MM120 Phase 2b study, which the Company believes demonstrated that the clinical activity of MM120 was not attributable to functional unblinding and aligns with FDA guidance regarding the use of complementary designs across our Phase 2 and 3 studies. The primary endpoint of Panorama will measure the change from baseline in HAM-A at Week 12 between MM120 ODT 100 µg and placebo, which is consistent with the durable clinical effect observed in the MM120 Phase 2b study. “GAD is a common and debilitating disorder, as we have shown that it impairs various cognitive abilities, and many patients are not sufficiently helped by currently available treatments.1 There is an urgent need for different approaches. The Panorama study builds on the results of MindMed’s Phase 2b study, which showed a rapid and sustained response to a single dose of MM120, demonstrating its potential as a promising treatment for GAD,” said Philip Gorwood, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Psychiatry at Sainte-Anne Hospital and Paris Cité University, France. “Panorama, which is consistent with the design of the Phase 2b study, has the potential to be a transformative change in the way we understand and treat brain health disorders, offering acute but also lasting benefits to patients who have long been frustrated with current standards of care.”
