“It is crucial that we understand how different mental health service providers are positioned to deliver COMP360 psilocybin treatment to patients, should it receive FDA approval,” said Kabir Nath, CEO of Compass Pathways. “By joining forces with MHS, Compass will have the opportunity to learn from a leading provider of innovative behavioral health care for people living with treatment-resistant depression and other difficult-to-treat mental health conditions.” The collaboration with MHS will include an in-depth information exchange on Compass’s potential delivery model for investigational COMP360 psilocybin treatment, and how it might fit into a healthcare delivery system similar to MHS. Compass and MHS will chart the depression and TRD patient pathway and investigate challenges with the current patient care experience, including potential approaches to address these. MHS will complete training and learning sessions on Compass’s psychological support model and therapist training program and conduct research to better understand therapist training needs. Compass and MHS will exchange information on model treatment rooms, site activation services, and coding and reimbursement considerations related to psychedelic treatments. “There are millions of people in the US living with depression for whom existing treatments do not work,” said John Minahan, CEO of Mindful Health Solutions. “Part of MHS’s mission is to make innovative treatments accessible to everyone who may benefit from them. As such, we are proud to collaborate with Compass Pathways and to contribute to learning how COMP360 psilocybin treatment may be most effectively delivered to patients, if approved for TRD.” Compass has previously announced research collaboration agreements with Greenbrook TMS, a leading provider of interventional psychiatric treatments such as transcranial magnetic stimulation; Hackensack Meridian Health, a leading not-for-profit health care organization and the largest, most comprehensive and truly integrated network in New Jersey, addressing the full continuum of care for people living with TRD; and Journey Clinical, a leading psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy platform with the largest network of licensed therapists focused on psychedelics in the US.
