NEW YORK – Filament Health Corp. (OTCQB: FLHLF) (Cboe CA: FH) (FSE: 7QS), a trailblazer in the realm of natural psychedelic drug development, announced a significant milestone in its global expansion with the successful export of PEX010, its botanical psilocybin drug candidate, to Perth, Western Australia. This shipment, received by Reset Mind Sciences Ltd., a subsidiary of Little Green Pharma, marks a historic first in the Australian psilocybin industry.
Lisa Ranken, Chief Operating Officer at Filament Health, highlighted the achievement as a testament to the company’s robust regulatory capabilities. She noted, “This is the first legal shipment of a botanical psilocybin drug candidate to arrive in Australia, and we are pleased to see a natural option being explored by Australian researchers.”
Dr. Leon Warne, Chief Operating Officer of Reset, emphasized the significance of this naturally sourced psilocybin shipment for both Reset and the burgeoning Australian psilocybin industry. Since July 1, 2023, authorized psychiatrists in Australia have been permitted to prescribe psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression, marking a progressive shift in the country’s approach to mental health treatment.
Reset is currently advancing its application for a GMP license to manufacture psilocybin products derived from botanically sourced psilocybin. This development comes as the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) prepares to publish a Therapeutic Goods Order governing the production of psilocybin in the country.
