“We are thrilled to have Dr. Laughren join the company as regulatory advisor,” CEO Ahmad Doroudian said in a statement. “He brings invaluable psychiatric drug regulatory and development experience for our pipeline as we ramp up our IND-enabling activities.”
Betterlife’s therapeutic pipeline includes TD-0148A, a non-toxic second-generation lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) derivative molecule that mimics the projected therapeutic potential of LSD in the treatment of disorders such as severe depression, substance dependencies, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and migraines.
