Phase 2b seamless smoking cessation trial initiated with Johns Hopkins partnership; IRB conditional approval received
Why it matters: MYCO-001 is a 99.9% pure natural-source psilocybin developed in partnership with Johns Hopkins' Dr. Matthew Johnson — the researcher behind the landmark 2022 JAMA Psychiatry smoking cessation study (80% abstinence at 12 months). The Phase 2b replicates this design at multiple sites.

MYCO-004
Substance use disorder / smoking cessation
Programme Tracker
Substance Use Disorders (SUD)
MYCO-004 remains supported mainly by 2021 Mydecine disclosures as a patch-delivered tryptamine for SUD/smoking cessation. Mydecine changed its public company name to Noveris Health Sciences in February 2026; no recent MYCO-004 clinical-start confirmation was found.
Milestones
Pre-clinical completed
In progressWhy it matters: MYCO-004 is a transdermal tryptamine — distinct from MYCO-001's oral psilocybin. Patch delivery could enable controlled, slow-release dosing (potentially sub-perceptual) without the 4–6 hour oral psychedelic session, expanding access to patients unwilling or unable to undergo full psychedelic sessions.
