Milestones

regulatory-designation

Completed

Actual: Apr 1, 2021

FDA grants first-ever Orphan Drug Designation for DMT (ischemia-reperfusion injury in organ transplantation)

Why it matters: Historic regulatory milestone — first ODD for any psychedelic compound. Targets DMT's sigma-1 receptor activity (not 5-HT2A psychedelic effect) to protect organs from ischemia-reperfusion damage. ODD provides 7-year market exclusivity and reduced filing fees.

Company milestone

Completed

Actual: Feb 1, 2023

Research collaboration with PharmaTher for DMT microneedle transdermal patch development

Why it matters: Transdermal delivery could enable controlled, sub-psychedelic DMT dosing for cytoprotective applications.

Company milestone

Completed

Actual: Jun 1, 2025

Board forms special committee for comprehensive strategic review; company pivoting toward cepharanthine (PD-001) and Canurta Biotech botanical drugs

Why it matters: Strategic review signals DMT programme has been deprioritized. PharmaDrug appears to be pivoting its clinical resources toward PD-001 (cepharanthine for viral diseases) via Sairiyo Therapeutics subsidiary and botanical neurodegeneration drugs via Canurta.
