Small Pharma to Host Virtual Roundtable Event with Key Opinion Leaders in Psychiatry

LONDON, March 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Small Pharma Inc. (TSXV: DMT) (OTCQB: DMTTF) (the “Company” or “Small Pharma”), a biotechnology company focused on short-duration psychedelic-assisted therapies for mental health conditions, today announces that it will host a virtual Key Opinion Leader roundtable with Jerry Rosenbaum, MD, Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, and David Erritzoe, MD, PhD, Imperial College London on Wednesday, March 15, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. EDT.

Dr. Carol Routledge, Chief Medical & Scientific Officer of the Company, will lead the discussion between psychiatrists Dr. Rosenbaum and Dr. Erritzoe on key topics surrounding the opportunity for short-duration psychedelic treatments in treating depression. Dr. Rosenbaum and Dr. Erritzoe will provide insights on the treatment toolkit available to psychiatrists today, and what it would take to deliver new psychedelic-based treatments for patients living with depression.

The discussion will highlight Small Pharma’s recent positive Phase IIa results for its lead candidate, SPL026 with supportive therapy, for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (“MDD”). SPL026 is Small Pharma’s proprietary synthetic formulation of N,N, dimethyltryptamine (“DMT”), which offers an ultra-short psychedelic experience of 20-25 minutes. The SPL026 Phase IIa trial was the first placebo-controlled study to demonstrate efficacy of a short-duration psychedelic with therapy in treating depression.
