Definium's lead indication GAD, looks to be the only psychedelic company on the verge of completing pivotal clinical trials for that indication. The stock is a high risk investment at this time, as they have zero commercial assets, and are in late stage clinical development, with results expected in 2026. Thank you for reading.
