Clearmind Medicine Announces First Participant Ever Dosed with its CMND-100 Treatment in Groundbreaking Clinical Trial for Alcohol Use Disorder
The dosing follows the Company's announcement on June 5, 2025, of the enrollment of the first participant in the trial, which is being conducted at leading clinical sites, including Yale School of Medicine's Department of Psychiatry and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in the United States as well as Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center (Ichilov) and Hadassah-University Medical Center in Jerusalem. The Phase I/IIa trial is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile of CMND-100, while also assessing its preliminary efficacy in reducing alcohol cravings and consumption in patients with AUD.
'Dosing the first participant with CMND-100 in our study marks a landmark achievement towards the development of a new solution and offering new hope for the massive, underserved community suffering from alcoholism,' said Dr. Adi Zuloff-Shani, Ph. D, CEO of Clearmind Medicine. 'This exciting event marks the first time our proprietary neuroplastogen compound has been given to humans under controlled clinical trial settings, bringing us closer to potentially delivering a revolutionary treatment for the millions of individuals and families suffering from AUD.'
The Phase I/IIa clinical trial is a multinational, multicenter, single- and multiple-dose study that aims to establish the safety and optimal dosing of CMND-100. The trial will also explore early signals of efficacy, including reductions in alcohol consumption and cravings, which could pave the way for further development of this groundbreaking therapy.

Ontario should rejig supports for small auto businesses in wake of tariffs, CFIB says
TORONTO — Ontario should rejig its programs meant to support auto businesses through the impact of tariffs and associated economic uncertainty, as the way they're currently structured is leaving small businesses in the lurch, an advocacy group says in a new report. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business released a report Wednesday based on a survey of 187 small-to-medium-sized businesses in the automotive sector, from parts suppliers to repair shops, and found that tariffs are already having an impact. Their revenue has declined by 13 per cent, on average, and half of them reported that they have paused or cancelled investments due to uncertainty caused by the Canada-U.S. trade war, which could lead to billions in lost revenue or missed investments, the report said. "It's impossible for a business owner to really know what's going on these days," Joseph Falzata, co-author of the report and policy analyst with CFIB Ontario, said of the whiplash trade policy news. "I do this as my full-time job, and it's always difficult for myself. So you can only imagine a business owner who's working 50, 60 hours a week trying to keep track of things." Their revenue is taking a hit in part because they are paying higher prices and there is confusion about which products are affected by tariffs, as well as due to costs associated with seeking out new supply chains, Falzata said. Ontario has programs meant to help shore up businesses in the automotive sector, but while appreciated, they're missing the mark when it comes to supporting smaller businesses, the CFIB report says. In its spring budget the provincial government said it was putting $85 million into two programs: the Ontario Automobile Modernization Program to help parts suppliers upgrade equipment and the Ontario Vehicle Innovation Network for research and development. "Though these programs have been created with good intentions, few small businesses plan to use them, and over a third of them are ineligible," the CFIB report says. "The programs focus on R&D innovation and large-scale manufacturing, while disregarding the reality that most automotive (small and medium businesses) either cannot afford or are not involved in these processes." A new $50-million Ontario Together Trade Fund meant to help businesses develop new markets and find domestic supply chains, requires businesses to show a revenue loss of at least 30 per cent and requires them to put up $200,000 of their own capital, which the report calls "a luxury most (small and medium businesses) cannot afford." The government said its programs have already helped hundreds of businesses, with the Ontario Vehicle Innovation Network supporting more than 600 small and medium businesses since its inception in 2019 and the Ontario Automotive Modernization Program has supported 215 projects since 2021. 'In the face of unprecedented global economic uncertainty, our government is protecting and building on the progress we have made to champion small businesses in the auto sector and across the economy," Jennifer Cunliffe, a spokesperson for Economic Development Minister Vic Fedeli, wrote in a statement. The best way to help small businesses would be to lower the small business tax rate from 3.2 per cent to two per cent, the CFIB said. The government lowered the rate from 3.5 per cent in 2020.

Trump Says Drug Tariffs Are Probably Coming
By and Eleanor Thornber Save Good morning. Donald Trump turns his tariff focus to drugs. Would you trust private equity with your 401(k)? And basketball is set for a growth spurt. Listen to the day's top stories. Donald Trump said he'll probably impose tariffs on pharmaceuticals as soon as the end of the month, and has plans to place levies on semiconductors too. Both risk driving up costs for ordinary Americans. Meanwhile, mining giant Rio Tinto Group said US tariffs on its Canada-made aluminum cost more than $300 million in the first half. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said trade negotiations with the US will 'intensify,' but hinted tariffs will stay.
