<div id="readability-page-1"><article>Vancouver, Canada, Dec. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clearmind Medicine Inc. (Nasdaq: CMND), (FSE: CWY0) (“Clearmind” or the &#34;Company&#34;), a clinical-stage biotech company focused on the discovery and development of novel neuroplastogen-derived therapeutics to solve major under-treated health problems, today reflected on a year of significant momentum and progress in advancing its lead candidate, CMND-100, for the treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). Throughout 2025, Clearmind achieved critical milestones in its FDA-approved Phase I/IIa clinical trial for CMND-100, a proprietary non-hallucinogenic MEAI-based oral compound designed to address AUD—a condition affecting millions worldwide with limited effective treatment options. Key 2025 highlights include: Clinical Trial Progress: Advanced the multinational Phase I/IIa trial with site activations at prestigious institutions, including Yale School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, and Hadassah Medical Center. The Company successfully initiated first-in-human dosing, completed treatment and enrollment for the first cohort, and reported positive top-line safety and tolerability results with no serious adverse events. Additionally, the first patients in the Israeli sites were enrolled and successfully dosed. Moreover, Clearmind completed enrollment and dosing for the second cohort, accelerating the path toward further data readouts. Independent Safety Endorsement: Received unanimous approval from the Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) to continue the Phase I/IIa clinical trial following an interim review, reinforcing CMND-100's favorable safety profile. Global Footprint Expansion: Strengthened intellectual property portfolio and pipeline of its non-hallucinogenic neuroplastogen patents with multiple international patent filings and publications targeting indications such as weight loss, obesity, metabolic disorders, depression, PTSD, anxiety and binge behaviors. Dr. Adi Zuloff-Shani, CEO of Clearmind Medicine, commented: “2025 has been a pivotal year for Clearmind as we transitioned into a clinical-stage company, executing on our multinational trial. These achievements underscore our disciplined approach to innovation and our commitment to delivering transformative treatments for addictions and mental health challenges. We are grateful to our dedicated team, clinical partners, investigators, and investors for their unwavering support.” &#34;Looking ahead to 2026, Clearmind remains focused on advancing its pipeline, generating additional clinical data, and exploring strategic opportunities to maximize shareholder value and patient impact&#34;.
