Tryp Therapeutics Announces Interim Results for Its Phase II Clinical Trial for the Treatment of Binge Eating Disorder with Psilocybin-Assisted Psychotherapy Tryp Therapeutics Inc. announced interim results for the first five patients dosed in its Phase II STOP (Study of the Treatment of Overeating utilizing Psilocybin) trial. In collaboration with the University of Florida, the STOP trial is evaluating TRP-8802 (oral psilocybin) in patients with binge eating disorder ("BED") and represents the first use of psilocybin in conjunction with psychotherapy as a therapeutic intervention in patients with BED. Previously, Tryp reported that immediately following the post-dosing integration session with the trial's psychotherapists and throughout the four-week period post-dosing, the first patient in the STOP trial exhibited reduced overall anxiety, reduced anxiety around food, reduced compulsion to overeat and improved self-image and confidence. Analysis of the additional four patients has reinforced the initial clinical observations. The current results demonstrated a significant reduction in the frequency of binge eating behavior for each patient as measured in multiple assessments of efficacy which were discussed with the FDA as acceptable endpoints in advance of this study. In addition, analysis of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) anxiety and depression scores demonstrated improving trends related to patients' levels of anxiety and depression. The observed behavioral improvements are consistent with those described in other clinical studies examining the clinical benefit of psilocybin as a therapeutic intervention in compulsion-related disorders. There were no drug-related adverse events reported by these patients during the four-week period following dosing of TRP-8802. Tryp Therapeutics will be presenting at Biotech Showcase in San Francisco at 11am PT on Monday, January 9, and the presentation will include a review of this interim data.

Tryp Therapeutics Inc. Announces Publication of International PCT Patent Application for the Intravenous Administration of Psilocin and Psilocybin Tryp Therapeutics Inc. announced that the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) published their international patent application (PCT/IB2022/052347) covering the intravenous administration of psilocybin and psilocin. The PCT application, titled “Improved Methods For The Use of Psychedelics” expands and strengthens the IP related to the Company’s development of TRP-8803, an IV formulation of psilocin, which will be administered in conjunction with psychotherapy. The patent application includes a unique and proprietary formulation and delivery system to enhance the positive effects of psilocybin and in particular psilocin, while markedly reducing the limitations of psilocybin dosed through other routes of administration, including oral, nasal and sublingual. Oral administration, while convenient, has several limitations and challenges that TRP-8803 can address, including: Controlling time to onset of psychedelic experience; Oral administration of psilocybin can take 1 to 2 hours to induce the psychedelic state; IV infusion can reduce this time period to within 30 minutes. Managing the duration of the psychedelic experience; With oral administration the psychedelic state, once started, can last 6-8 hours, a significant burden to the patient and the two psychotherapists; IV administration allows the practitioner to manage the duration of the psychedelic state and potentially shortens the overall duration to 1-2 hours. Achieving clinically validated blood levels of psilocin; When orally administered, psilocybin’s bioavailability can be reduced due to first pass metabolism in the liver. Psilocybin is a pro-drug which needs to be converted to psilocin, the active molecule that crosses the blood brain barrier and induces the psychedelic state. These factors contribute to variable blood levels of psilocin, which can be either too low or too high. High blood levels are associated with side effects, while low blood levels of psilocin can reduce efficacy; IV administration enables more precise dosing which achieves optimal blood levels of psilocin, thereby improving the likelihood of achieving clinical endpoints and efficacy while preserving safety. Customizing the psychedelic experience; IV administration provides more control over the experience, allowing the attending psychotherapist to increase or decrease both the strength and duration of the psychedelic experience. Conversely, should the patient experience a side effect, the clinician can terminate administration of the drug, an option not available with oral administration. With these advantages, particularly TRP-8803’s ability to reduce the time spent with medical professionals in a clinical setting, the Company believes there is a clear path to scaling broader commercial acceptance and use of TRP-8803 in conjunction with psychotherapy. Orally administered psychedelics have been widely introduced for use in treating depression, PTSD, OCD and other conditions, including by Tryp Therapeutics and its TRP-8802 programs. The Company plans to leverage its current clinical studies using TRP-8802 for the treatment of binge eating disorders and chronic pain to improve the likelihood of success for TRP-8803, with the additional goal of providing value to indications beyond those that Tryp is currently pursuing.

Tryp Therapeutics Announces Plans for Phase 2a Clinical Trial for Fibromyalgia with the University of Michigan Tryp Therapeutics Inc. announced its plans to conduct a Phase 2a clinical trial with the Chronic Pain & Fatigue Research Center in the Department
of Anesthesiology at the University of Michigan Medical School. The open-label Phase 2a clinical trial will evaluate the efficacy of TRYP-8802, an oral formulation of synthetic psilocybin, in tandem with psychotherapy for treating fibromyalgia.

The disease is characterized by widespread pain commonly accompanied by fatigue, memory problems, and sleep disturbances. With available treatment options often proving ineffective, nearly 30% of fibromyalgia patients alarmingly resort to opioid-based medications in an attempt to address symptoms of pain stemming from the disease. Tryp expects to submit the Investigational New
Drug (IND) application to the FDA for the Phase 2a clinical trial in Third Quarter 2021. Duyuru • Mar 11
