Star Metro - Biomind Labs Applauds Landmark Executive Order Accelerating Psychedelic Research and Access in The United States

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / April 20, 2026 / Biomind Labs Inc. ("Biomind" or the "Company") (CBOE:BMND)(OTC PINK:BMNDF)(FRA:3XI), a clinical-stage bio-pharmaceutical company focused on transforming breakthroughs in neuroscience and biomedical research into novel pharmaceutical drugs, today welcomes the historic executive order signed by President Trump to accelerate research, regulatory pathways, and patient access to psychedelic treatments.

This landmark policy shift marks a turning point in U.S. healthcare and drug policy, one that aligns directly with Biomind's long-term vision: to redefine how the world treats mental health and brain-related conditions.

A Historic Inflection Point

The executive order directs federal agencies, including the FDA, to fast-track clinical development and review of psychedelic therapies, while expanding funding and support for research into compounds such as psilocybin, DMT, 5-MeO-DMT, MDMA, and ibogaine. This initiative reflects growing recognition that psychedelic therapies may play a critical role in addressing the global mental health crisis, including conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, and neurodegenerative disorders.

From Scientific Breakthrough to Regulatory Momentum

This policy shift comes at a time when Biomind has already demonstrated unprecedented clinical outcomes, reinforcing the scientific foundation behind this new regulatory acceleration. In its previously announced Phase 2 clinical trial of BMND08, a proprietary 5-MeO-DMT-based sublingual formulation for depression and anxiety in Alzheimer's disease, the Company reported:

• 100% patient response rate

• 100% remission from depression, anxiety, and stress by week five

• Statistically significant improvements across validated psychiatric scales

• Evidence of cognitive enhancement, including improvements in executive function and processing speed

These results position Biomind among the very few companies globally to demonstrate such a level of efficacy in a neurodegenerative population, historically one of the most challenging areas in drug development.

"What we are seeing today from a regulatory standpoint is the natural consequence of years of scientific validation," said Alejandro Antalich, CEO of Biomind Labs. "At Biomind, we didn't wait for the system to change, we built the data that is now forcing the system to evolve."

Biomind at the Center of the Paradigm Shift

For years, Biomind has operated ahead of the curve, investing in clinical research, intellectual property, and drug development platforms focused on psychedelic compounds and their derivatives. Today's announcement validates that strategy.

"This is not just regulatory progress, it is a paradigm shift," Antalich added. "We are witnessing the beginning of a new era in medicine, where mental health is treated with the same urgency, innovation, and scientific rigor as any other major disease category."

Unlocking Acceleration Across the Value Chain

The executive order is expected to unlock multiple catalysts for the psychedelic biotech sector:

• Regulatory acceleration: Fast-tracked FDA pathways could significantly shorten development timelines

• Capital inflows: Increased government support is likely to attract institutional and strategic investment

• Clinical expansion: Broader access to trials and patient populations

• De-stigmatization: Federal endorsement reshapes public and medical perception

For Biomind, this creates a powerful tailwind across its pipeline and strategic roadmap.

From Vision to Scalable Impact

Biomind's platform, combining proprietary drug candidates, advanced delivery technologies, and a global clinical network, is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this new regulatory environment. The Company believes that psychedelic therapies will evolve from niche treatments into mainstream, first-line interventions for some of the most pressing healthcare challenges of our time.

"The future we envisioned, where psychedelic medicine is accessible, scalable, and scientifically validated, is no longer theoretical," Antalich added. "It is now being actively built, and Biomind is already part of that future."

A Global Opportunity

While the executive order is U.S.-focused, its implications are global. Regulatory leadership from the United States is expected to influence policy frameworks worldwide, accelerating adoption across Europe, Latin America, and emerging markets. Biomind intends to play a leading role in this transformation, bridging science, regulation, and commercialization to bring breakthrough therapies to patients globally.
