It sounds like Cybin (CYBN) is gaining serious traction in the psychedelic therapy space! Guggenheim’s $35 price target is pretty aggressive, considering the stock is currently trading at a fraction of that. The fact that CYB003 shows a durable response with just one or two doses — compared to the more frequent re-dosing needed for Spravato — could be a major competitive advantage.
If CYB003 can even grab a small slice of Spravato’s $3–4B market, that’s a huge opportunity. Plus, the upcoming readout for CYB004 in anxiety disorders could add more momentum if the data is positive. Psychedelics in mental health treatment have been getting more mainstream attention, so this could be a turning point for Cybin.
Cybin Inc. (NYSE:CYBN) has recently made significant strides in the development of its proprietary deuterated psilocin molecule, CYB003, positioning the company for a potentially bullish trajectory in the next six months. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted CYB003 Breakthrough Therapy Designation for the adjunctive treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), expediting its development and review process.
In a Phase 2 study, CYB003 demonstrated robust and sustained antidepressant effects. Patients receiving two 16 mg doses, administered three weeks apart, showed a mean reduction of approximately 22 points from baseline on the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) at the four-month follow-up. Notably, 75% of these patients achieved remission (MADRS score ≤10), indicating a substantial and lasting therapeutic benefit.
The safety profile of CYB003 was favorable, with no serious adverse events reported. All adverse events were mild or moderate in intensity, and there were no incidents of suicidal ideation or behavior.
Building on these positive outcomes, Cybin has initiated the APPROACH study, the first pivotal trial in its Phase 3 PARADIGM program, to further evaluate CYB003's efficacy in MDD. The company plans to commence the second pivotal study, EMBRACE, around mid-2025.
Financial analysts have taken note of Cybin's progress. H.C. Wainwright recently reiterated a Buy rating on Cybin's stock, highlighting the strong potential of CYB003 in treating MDD. The firm emphasized the significance of the Phase 2 data in potentially establishing CYB003 as a key differentiator in depression treatment, given its long-lasting effects and favorable safety profile.
Given these developments, Cybin appears well-positioned for a bullish move in the next six months, contingent upon continued positive clinical outcomes and successful advancement through regulatory milestones.
