Novamind Launches New Psychedelic Palliative Care Program

We are pleased to launch Psychedelic Palliative Care by Novamind (the “Palliative Program”) at its recently opened clinic and research site in Murray, Utah.

Among the first-of-its-kind, the Palliative Program combines psychedelic medicine with psychotherapy, workshops, multi-day immersive retreats and group support for palliative care patients and families who are coping with chronic and serious illness.

“Patients receiving palliative care have higher rates of depression than the general population. Unfortunately, standard anti-depression and anti-anxiety treatments do not work for everyone, can cause side effects, and can take up to eight weeks to work,” explained Dr. Paul Thielking, Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) of Novamind. “Due to psychedelic medicine’s generally low side effect burden and fast-acting nature, it shows promise for patients who are physically ill and might have limited life expectancies.”

Through Novamind’s clinical research division, the Palliative Program will host studies to investigate the use of psychedelic medicine including ketamine and establish the infrastructure for future clinical studies examining psilocybin. This work will build on notable studies from New York University and Johns Hopkins University, which demonstrated psilocybin’s significant immediate and sustained improvements in anxiety and depression symptoms in cancer patients.

Prior to his role as Novamind’s CSO, Dr. Thielking developed ketamine-assisted treatment protocols for cancer patients experiencing depression at the University of Utah Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI). He also pioneered an ongoing HCI study examining the feasibility of group-administered psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy for cancer patients experiencing depression. Dr. Thielking leads the Palliative Program’s multidisciplinary team of mental health professionals specialized in palliative care and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.

“Our healthcare system struggles to support the millions of Americans dealing with emotional, spiritual and psychological suffering associated with chronic or serious illness,” noted Dr. Thielking. “Psychedelic Palliative Care by Novamind is designed to address this need, bringing together fast-acting medicine, innovative treatment options and therapeutic expertise in a safe, nurturing environment.”

The Psychedelics Industry Could Offer a Whole New Approach to Work

In a collaboration with DoubleBlind magazine, Shelby Hartman and Madison Margolin explore how professional and economic systems are changing as the psychedelic revolution continues to grow. It’s not just about growth, though, but also the way we work. “What psychedelics offer is an invitation to look at professional and economic systems more, well, psychedelically.”

Psychedelics: Psychiatry of the Future

Covering Rick Doblin’s talk at the 2021 Annual Psychiatric Times World CME Conference, Leah Kuntz writes about what other conditions MDMA could treat including “depression, alcohol dependence, obsessive compulsive disorder, and even demoralization in AIDS survivors.” We look forward to further research on MDMA and will work to create treatment protocols for an array of mental health conditions, similar to our work with ketamine.

How Psychedelics are Returning to the World of Medicine

“According to estimates by the World Health Organization, about 300 million people worldwide live with depression.” It’s a stat that illuminates why there is so much urgency to bring psychedelic-assisted therapies to the world. We want to make a difference, to improve the quality of life for people suffering from depression and other mental health conditions, regardless of the psychedelic being used to bring about that lasting change. From Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Reid Robison: “I’m always touched by stories of hope and healing that come from witnessing the psychedelic modalities in action.”

Novamind Opens 6ᵗʰ Integrative Psychiatry Clinic, Adds 3ʳᵈ Clinical Research Site

We are pleased to announce the opening of our sixth integrative psychiatry clinic. The clinic is in Murray, Utah (the “Murray Clinic”).

The Murray Clinic also serves as Novamind’s third clinical research site, further strengthening the Company’s capabilities for serving drug developers via multiple sites and access to a large patient population. The Company anticipates 65,000 visits to its clinics this year.

“Bringing cost-effective and innovative psychedelic therapies to market requires a large base of diverse candidates and the expertise to safely and effectively run complex clinical trials in the right environment,” explained Yaron Conforti, CEO and Director. “We continue to build on our model’s proven track record through the expansion of our clinics and research sites, and we expect to scale this unique operating model into additional states in the near term.”

The Murray Clinic is the latest in Novamind’s ongoing clinic expansion, with two additional clinics slated to open in Utah by the end of 2021. The Salt Lake City location is scheduled to open in October, while the Park City location will open in November to accommodate the construction of the Company’s new flagship clinic design.

How Psychedelics Changed my Life

The evidence continues to grow in support of psychedelic medicine. In a piece for the Independent, Jonathan Sabbagh writes about how psychedelics, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy in particular, changed his life. “For the first time, I understood the truth. My burnout wasn’t an end in itself. It was a symptom of a previously undiagnosed severe case of post-traumatic stress disorder.”

The Science of Psychedelic Therapy Breaks on Through

Axios breaks down why psychedelics matter, where they stand and what to watch for in the future. “Scientific studies of psychedelic therapies may be entering a new, broader phase thanks to more interest and funding from federal governments.” We will continue to research psychedelics and other innovative therapies at Cedar Clinical Research. CCR’s research sites are co-located with Novamind’s Cedar Psychiatry clinics allowing for large client population recruitment and providing clients access to innovative research stage treatments. And just this last week, we announced the opening of a new research site and clinic.

Legalising Illicit Therapies: Why Psychedelics Could Be The Most Important Mental Health Breakthrough Of The 21st Century

As psychedelics continue to break free from the stigma surrounding them, more and more people are seeing the promise these drugs have in changing the way we treat mental health. “Recent trials are showing that psychedelics are proving not only successful but also incredibly effective when stacked up against traditional forms of treatment, with one recent trial reporting that they are up to four times more effective than antidepressants.”

The Worldview-Changing Drugs Poised to Go Mainstream

BBC Future covers the experience, culture and future of psychedelics and “what might follow if psychedelics become mainstream.” It’s a popular theme in this week’s roundup: what the world will look like after the psychedelic revolution. “Psychedelics offer something that few other things can: an experience well beyond what our everyday reality could conceive or expect.” With such life changing drugs and therapies becoming available, there’s no doubt the future will look a lot different.

On the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast, we cover topics across the spectrum from trip-sitting to treating trauma with psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.

Psychedelics are getting closer to approval, but the market may not be ready

Amirah Al Idrus explores the regulatory issues facing psychedelics, the setting in which they’re administered and how traditional business models may need to evolve in the process. At Novamind, we’re building the infrastructure to expand access to psychedelics in anticipation of their FDA approval. We’ve developed and are developing psychedelic therapy protocols to target difficult-to-treat mental health conditions that are underserved by the current standard of care.

We Just Got Closer to Understanding Why Ketamine Is Such a Powerful Antidepressant

We know ketamine’s power to treat depression. “Within hours, a single dose of the psychedelic substance has been shown to curb suicidal intent, and recent clinical trials suggest these effects work on two thirds of patients, lasting for up to several weeks before fading away.” But recent results are getting us closer to the scientific reason why—ketamine may be responsible for decreasing the release of glutamate in our brains.

Could Ketamine Restore Child-like Brain Plasticity and Learning?

New research indicates that ketamine, in combination with light, may be able to temporarily restore our brains back to the plasticity seen in critical growth periods. More research is needed, but initial studies are promising. “Whether or not ketamine and/or flickering light could enable temporary neural plasticity in other parts of the brain, perhaps to treat language disorders or learning disabilities, is also “an intriguing possibility and would need further experiments,” Siegert added.” We look forward to further research exploring the life changing potential of ketamine.

Tripping Together

Zoe Cormier explores the benefits and costs of psychedelic therapy models—group vs solo. Strong anecdotal evidence is provided for the group therapy model. In practice, a case can be made for both, which is why the treatment protocols available at our Cedar Psychiatry clinics include group and solo participation. You can learn more about them here.
