The provisional patent is for a proposed guided psychedelic psilocybin therapy protocol using psychotherapy prior to, during and after the psychoactive effects of the Psilocybin are felt by the patient. The psychedelic assisted psychotherapy is designed to assist in gaining insights from positive psychedelic experiences, to be integrated into everyday life and to help plan, prepare and make sense of psychedelic experiences for a therapeutic result. It can include an exploration of unresolved issues in the patient’s life that are embedded in his or her subconscious, including discussions or examinations of pain. It may also include building self-esteem, the patient taking responsibility for his or her own condition, self empowerment, and acknowledging or releasing any unhealthy self defence mechanism of overeating.
NeonMind previously announced that it filed a provisional patent in December 2019 for the use of microdose administration of Psilocybin for weight loss benefits. NeonMind has retained contract research organization Translational Life Sciences Inc. to design and plan an initial preclinical study using psilocybin which is anticipated to begin in the fall of 2020. The preclinical study is anticipated to provide data to design phase 2 human clinical trials to test Psilocybin as a weight loss treatment. The phase 2 clinical trials are anticipated to begin in 2021, subject to receiving all required regulatory approvals.
NeonMind’s combined provisional patent applications cover the administration of Psilocybin to provide weight loss benefits and potential treatment or regulation of diabetes, and regulation of blood glucose, and to reduce susceptibility to cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, multiple sclerosis, erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence, chronic renal failure, sleep apnea, asthma, and certain forms of cancer.
The U.S. provisional patent application provides a right of priority under the Paris Convention as well as the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT“). This means it establishes an effective filing date for inventions adequately described within it for PCT applications or applications in more than 170 countries who are members of the Paris Convention, as long as the foreign application is filed within one year of the provisional filing date.
