Incannex enters a lease for first psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy clinic
Melbourne, Australia, May 05, 2023 – Incannex Healthcare Ltd (Nasdaq: IXHL) (ASX: IHL) (‘Incannex’ or ‘the Company’), a medicinal cannabinoid and psychedelic pharmaceutical development company, is delighted to announce that its subsidiary company, Clarion Clinics Group Pty Ltd, has entered a lease for riverfront premises in Abbottsford, Melbourne.
The premises will be used to provide psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. Fit out and commissioning of these premises is due to commence shortly and is expected to be complete in August 2023, facilitating the opening of the first clinic shortly thereafter.
The clinic is designed as a commercial scale prototype, which can be scaled up and replicated to other locations. It will have capacity to treat over 600 patients per year in normal working hours and substantially more in extended hour operations.
Incannex has ordered an initial supply of psilocybin and MDMA, through an arrangement with Pharmala Biotech, to facilitate the commencement of clinical operations.
Director for Incannex’s psychedelic clinics business, Mr Peter Widdows said; “The initial clinic is a pioneering venture that will implement best practice in psychedelic treatment and aims to positively impact the lives of many people suffering with intractable mental health conditions. It alone is a substantial business opportunity and has the potential to expand into a very sizable venture with the subsequent planned roll-out of numerous clinics. The estimated Australian market for psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy is anticipated to be more than $2bn per annum and the global market closer to $60bn. Clarion Clinics Group is uniquely placed to be a significant player in this market by entering early, having the treatment model, business model and the best qualified people in place.”
Incannex CEO and Managing Director, Mr Joel Latham said; “Clarion Clinics will be the first dedicated psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy business in Australia. We’re delighted to be at the forefront of an industry that has the potential to change the lives of thousands of people who have been living with conditions for which there have been no adequate treatment options.”
