• New Research Agreement Signed

  Clearmind Medicine entered a research agreement with Yissum Research Development Company to study MEAI (CMND-100) for metabolic efficacy.

• Exploring GLP-1 Combination Therapy

  The preclinical study will evaluate MEAI in combination and sequencing with tirzepatide, a GLP-1 medication, for diet-induced obesity.

• Potential for Differentiated Mechanism

  MEAI previously showed 15-20% body weight reduction in mice by increasing energy expenditure, potentially complementing GLP-1 drugs that primarily suppress appetite.

• Targeting Large Market

  The global market for incretin-based therapies is projected to reach $170–185 billion by 2033, with a need for solutions to address weight regain after discontinuation.

This agreement marks a strategic expansion of Clearmind's pipeline into the high-value obesity and metabolic disorders market, leveraging its lead compound MEAI (CMND-100). By exploring MEAI in combination with GLP-1 medications like tirzepatide, the company aims to address a significant unmet need: preventing weight regain after GLP-1 treatment. If successful, MEAI's mechanism of increasing energy expenditure could offer a differentiated approach to a market projected to reach over $170 billion by 2033.
