Significant Clinical Development Milestone

Analysis
This approval from Johns Hopkins IRB to advance the CMND-100 Phase I/II clinical trial to Parts B and C is a significant de-risking event for Clearmind Medicine.

This positive clinical development follows a recent 1-for-10 reverse stock split on May 21, 2026, and a series of convertible note issuances, suggesting the company is actively working to strengthen its position and advance its pipeline.
