Clearmind Medicine Announces IRB Approval for Phase 1/2a Clinical Trial for Alcohol Use Disorder at Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center
The trial includes other first-in-class institutions, such as Yale School of Medicine's Department of Psychiatry, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Hadassah-University Medical Center in Jerusalem, Israel. The study at TASMC will be led by Dr. David Zeltser, Director of the Emergency Medicine Department and Deputy Director R&D and Innovation.
Clearmind recently announced the dosing of the first participant in the trial, marking a historic step toward developing a novel therapy for the millions affected by AUD worldwide.
IRB approval from TASMC follows Clearmind's prior regulatory milestones, including U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance of its Investigational New Drug (IND) application and IRB approvals from other clinical sites.
'We are pleased to receive IRB approval from Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, a renowned institution, for our Phase 1/2a clinical trial,' said Dr. Adi Zuloff-Shani, CEO of Clearmind Medicine. 'This milestone brings us closer to potentially offering a transformative treatment for individuals struggling with AUD, a condition that devastates millions of lives. With TASMC's participation, alongside leading centers like Yale and Johns Hopkins, we believe that we are well-positioned to advance our mission of developing safe, effective, and innovative psychedelic-derived therapies.'
Clearmind's clinical trial is a critical step in addressing the global burden of AUD, which accounts for 4.7% of all deaths worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. The Company anticipates further progress in patient enrollment and data collection across its clinical sites, with the goal of delivering a breakthrough solution for those affected by AUD and their families. The Phase 1/2a clinical trial, a multinational, multi-center study, is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile of CMND-100, while also evaluating its preliminary efficacy in reducing alcohol cravings and consumption in patients with AUD.

Bitcoin Miner Hut 8 Jumps 15%, Leading Sector Higher After Inking 5-Year Energy Supply Deal
The power unit of bitcoin miner Hut 8 (HUT) has landed a five-year capacity contract with Ontario's Independent Electricity System Operator, giving the Miami-based firm a dependable paycheck for 310 megawatts of natural-gas generation. The deal covers plants in Iroquois Falls, Kingston, Kapuskasing, and North Bay, all owned by Far North, Hut 8's joint venture with Macquarie Equipment Finance. Starting May 2026, according to a press release, the plants will earn an average CAD $530 ($388.5) per megawatt-business day in the first year, with partial inflation indexation. The income comes from a government-backed AA3-rated agency. Ontario forecasts electricity demand will grow 75% by 2050, with a shortfall of up to 5.8 gigawatts as early as 2030, the release adds. HUT shares are higher by more than 15% on the news, leading the mining sector higher. Cleanspark (CLSK), MARA Holdings (MARA) and Riot Platforms (RIOT) are ahead a bit less than 10%. Just yesterday, American Bitcoin Corp, a miner 80% owned by Hut 8 and backed by Eric and Donald Trump Jr., revealed it raised $220 million from accredited investors, about $10 million of which in bitcoin, according to an SEC filing.
