COMPASS Pathways Plc (Nasdaq: CMPS), a biotechnology company dedicated to accelerating patient access to evidence-based innovation announced today it is entering into a strategic collaboration with HealthPort, a multi-site comprehensive community health organization. HealthPort employs an integrated model centered around social determinants of health and this collaboration will help inform the potential delivery of COMP360 synthesized psilocybin treatment in underserved communities, if FDA approved. This agreement with HealthPort expands the set of collaborations that Compass has established representing a broad spectrum of settings where people living with treatment resistant depression (TRD) receive their care in the United States.
HealthPort offers an integrated model of care aimed at helping those with behavioral health conditions and people impacted by poverty, disability and trauma. HealthPort is an evidence-based practice supporting thirteen dimensions of social determinants of health, including the coordination of an integrated outpatient mental health and addictions health clinic. HealthPort has been operating facility, residential, and mobile based interventions of care in the lower Eastern Shore of Maryland for the past 45 years.
Together, Compass and HealthPort will learn about the challenges and barriers to equitable access to new mental health treatments and they will conduct research into training and care reimbursement processes for COMP360, if approved. The companies will explore how investigational COMP360 synthesized psilocybin treatment might fit into an integrated health delivery practice similar to HealthPort. This exploration is designed to provide a template for potential future implementation and delivery of COMP360 within community care settings across the US. COMP360 is a synthesized, proprietary formulation of psilocybin under investigation as a treatment for certain difficult-to-treat mental health conditions, including treatment resistant depression (TRD).
"We are proud to collaborate with Compass Pathways and to contribute to learning how COMP360 psilocybin treatment may be most effectively delivered to patients in underserved communities, if that treatment receives all necessary approvals for TRD," said Dimitrios Cavathas, CEO of HealthPort. "We are committed to addressing the social determinants of health that impact our community members and collaborating with Compass will help further our mission to serving the unique needs of our people."
"We strive to improve mental healthcare for every person who needs help, and we recognize the challenges to access for underserved populations and the potential for innovative treatments, such as COMP360, to lessen existing disparities, if approved," said Steve Levine, Chief Patient Officer of Compass Pathways. "We are thrilled to join forces with a leading integrated community health center, such as HealthPort, to further refine our understanding of how COMP360 psilocybin treatment could be delivered to patients in the future and, together, advance equitable access to mental healthcare."
About Compass Pathways' strategic collaborations
Compass is forming a comprehensive and diverse set of collaborations to inform how investigative COMP360 synthesized psilocybin treatment can be integrated into different types of healthcare delivery systems in the US.
Compass also has previously announced collaboration agreements with Greenbrook TMS, a leading provider of interventional psychiatric treatments such as Spravato and transcranial magnetic stimulation; Hackensack Meridian Health, a leading not-for-profit health care organization and the largest, most comprehensive and truly integrated network in New Jersey, addressing the full continuum of care for people living with TRD; Reliant Medical Group, an Optum company and integrated primary and specialty care organization; Journey Clinical, a leading psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy platform in the US; and Mindful Health Solutions, one of the US's leading providers of innovative behavioral health care.

Highlights:
COMPASS Pathways Plc (Nasdaq: CMPS), a biotechnology company dedicated to accelerating patient access to evidence-based innovation, today announced that all participants have completed dosing in Part A of the COMP005 phase 3 trial for treatment resistant depression (TRD). Following pre-dosing activities, including washout from anti-depressant medications, if needed, participants received a single dose of either 25 mg of COMP360 or placebo. The Company is on track to disclose top-line 6-week primary endpoint results in late June.
"Completing dosing of all participants in Part A of our 005 trial marks a critical milestone in our mission to address the pressing unmet need in treatment resistant depression," said Kabir Nath, CEO Compass Pathways. "We are proud of this achievement which reflects our team's commitment to scientific rigor, operational excellence and potential to deliver a new treatment option to patients who have long been underserved. We are incredibly grateful to the participants, investigators and clinical sites that are making this study possible. We look forward to sharing the results of the 6-week primary endpoint in late June."
About the phase 3 COMP005 trial
To date, the COMP005 trial is the largest, multi-center study of an investigational, synthesized psilocybin to complete recruitment and will be the first pivotal program to report the efficacy of synthesized psilocybin for the treatment of TRD. In this randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study, 258 participants with moderate-to-severe depression that have not responded to at least two or more prior treatments were dosed across 32 sites in the United States. This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of a single dose of COMP360 25 mg versus placebo for reducing symptom severity in TRD.
The trial is comprised of three parts: Part A, which is blinded through 6 weeks, Part B, which remains blinded through week 26, and Part C, which is open-label from week 26 to week 52.
COMP360 is a synthesized, proprietary formulation of psilocybin under investigation as a treatment for certain difficult-to-treat mental health conditions.
About treatment resistant depression (TRD)
Depression is one of the most common mental health disorders and the largest contributor to disability globally according to the World Health Organization. Approximately 300 million people , representing 5% of the adult population, suffer from major depressive disorder (MDD) worldwide.
Approximately one-third of patients with MDD aren't helped by existing therapies and are at high risk of developing treatment-resistant depression. TRD is generally defined as an inadequate response to two or more appropriate courses of approved medications. TRD has a significantly greater impact on individuals compared to MDD, leading to residual symptoms, poorer quality of life, increased comorbidities, higher mortality, and an increased risk of suicide.

Highlights:
COMPASS Pathways Plc (Nasdaq: CMPS), a biotechnology company dedicated to accelerating patient access to evidence-based innovation, today announced the completion of recruitment in the COMP005 phase 3 trial for treatment resistant depression (TRD). The final participants are completing pre-dosing activities, including washout from anti-depressant medications, if necessary, and those eligible will receive a dose of either 25 mg of COMP360 or placebo.
"We are pleased that recruitment is complete in the 005 trial, bringing us one-step closer to delivering COMP360 as a potential first-in-class psilocybin treatment for patients with treatment resistant depression," said Kabir Nath, Chief Executive Officer of Compass Pathways. "We await completion of dosing of the last participant, a milestone that we will also announce in the coming weeks, and we look forward to sharing the results of the 6-week primary endpoint in late Q2."
COMP360 is a synthetic form of psilocybin under investigation as a treatment for certain difficult-to-treat mental health conditions when administered with psychological support.
TRD is a condition in which individuals with major depressive disorder do not respond adequately to at least two different treatments. Depression is the leading cause of disability and ill health worldwide. Up to two-thirds of people with depression are not helped by the first antidepressant medication they try. Up to a third of people with depression are failed by multiple attempts at treatment.
The pivotal phase 3 clinical program of COMP360 psilocybin treatment in TRD is the largest randomized, controlled, double-blind psilocybin treatment clinical program ever conducted. Top-line 6-week (primary endpoint) COMP005 data is expected late in the second quarter 2025 and 26-week COMP005 data is expected once all participants in the COMP006 trial have completed part A of the COMP006 trial. The COMP006 26-week data is expected in the second half of 2026.

Highlights:
COMPASS Pathways Plc (Nasdaq: CMPS), a biotechnology company dedicated to accelerating patient access to evidence-based innovation, today announced the publication of results from the COMP004 study, an observational 52-week follow-up from the Phase 2 COMP001 and COMP003 trials of COMP360 psilocybin treatment in patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). The COMP004 study's findings suggest that over a 52-week period, a single administration of 25 mg COMP360 psilocybin demonstrated a longer maintenance of antidepressant effects compared to the 1 mg and 10 mg doses.
The results of COMP004 build upon previous findings from the Phase 2b trial COMP001, which showed that a single 25mg dose of COMP360 psilocybin was associated with a rapid and highly statistically significant reduction in depressive symptoms compared to COMP360 1mg dose after three weeks (p
Key COMP004 findings
These COMP004 study data were published in the March edition of the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry.
COMP360 is a synthetic form of psilocybin under investigation as a treatment for certain difficult-to-treat mental health conditions when administered with psychological support.
"Treatment-resistant depression is a major public health challenge, affecting approximately 100 million people worldwide, and it is well understood that there is an urgent need for differentiated treatment options," said Dr. Guy Goodwin, Chief Medical Officer. "This study together with the Phase 2b (COMP001) suggest the potential of COMP360 to provide rapid and durable clinical benefits from a single administration. We continue to explore the full profile of COMP360 in our ongoing Phase 3 clinical development program and we look forward to seeing the first phase 3 data from our COMP005 trial in the second quarter."
TRD is a condition in which individuals with major depressive disorder do not respond adequately to at least two different treatments. Depression is the leading cause of disability and ill health worldwide. Up to two-thirds of people with depression are not helped by the first antidepressant medication they try. Up to a third of people with depression are failed by multiple attempts at treatment.
The pivotal phase 3 clinical program of COMP360 psilocybin treatment in TRD is the largest randomized, controlled, double-blind psilocybin treatment clinical program ever conducted. Top-line 6-week (primary endpoint) COMP005 data is expected in the second quarter 2025 and 26-week COMP005 data is expected once all participants in the COMP006 trial have completed part A of the COMP006 trial. The COMP006 26-week data is expected in the second half of 2026.
About the COMP004 Trial
The COMP004 trial is a 52-week observational follow-up study on sixty-six participants from COMP001 (n=58 of which 22 participants were in the 25 mg arm, 19 participants were in the 10 mg arm and 17 participants were in the 1 mg arm) and COMP003 (n=8) trials to explore the long-term efficacy and safety of the three different doses of psilocybin (1 mg, 10 mg, and 25 mg) administered to patients with TRD as a monotherapy in COMP001 and 25 mg psilocybin administered as an adjunct to an SSRI in COMP003. Following completion of COMP001 or COMP003, as applicable, study participants had the option to enroll in COMP004 and there was a low rate of enrollment into COMP004. The analyses based solely on participants who enrolled in COMP004 are limited by the resulting selection bias.
