Josh SchimmerBiotech Equity Research Analyst

Your seats. I am Josh Schimmer from the Cantor Biotech Equity Research team, and very pleased to introduce the wonderful COMPASS management team. Couldn't really ask for a better-equipped trio to be leading this next phase of psychedelics as we transition to the commercial outlook for them. From COMPASS, we have Kabir Nath, Chief Executive Officer, Lori Englebert, Chief Commercial Officer. Sorry, Kabir, I said Chief Executive Officer.

Josh SchimmerBiotech Equity Research Analyst

Yeah, you did. It has been a long day, so words are starting to jumble around in my head.

Josh SchimmerBiotech Equity Research Analyst

Us too. even without any soul-sucking.

Josh SchimmerBiotech Equity Research Analyst

Trust you. And of course, Steve Levine, Chief Patient Officer.

Josh SchimmerBiotech Equity Research Analyst

Welcome. Thanks for joining. I figured we'd spend our time maybe addressing some of the investor topics and debates that come up as we talk about COMP360. Maybe before we get into the Q&A, though, Kabir, just set us up with where COMPASS Pathways is today and what we should be looking for over the next year or two.

Kabir NathCEO

Thanks very much, Josh, and it's great to be here. Just a reminder, we will be making some forward-looking statements right now. COMPASS Pathways is the leading company in psychedelics. We have started a rolling submission for COMP360 for treatment-resistant depression, and these are patients with chronic, recurring refractory depression. That will be important to bear in mind as we go on to talk about the opportunity here. The rolling submission is underway. The FDA has commenced its review. We will complete that submission in Q4 of this year. We were awarded an executive order, through the executive order, post that executive order, a National Priority Voucher for an accelerated review. With that, with a filing due to complete in Q4 of this year, with the potential for an accelerated review, we are expecting to launch in the first half of 2027.

Kabir NathCEO

COMP360 in TRD, there is only one drug approved today, SPRAVATO, esketamine from Johnson & Johnson. COMP360 is clearly highly differentiated from that in terms of rapidity of onset, durability, and the just very limited number of doses needed to sustain that effect. We are extremely excited about the year ahead of us, about being potentially the first psychedelic to come to market. We have also just started, and it is now underway, a late-stage, potentially registrational study in PTSD, where we also see a very, very significant opportunity, and again, just like TRD, a very underserved market.

Josh SchimmerBiotech Equity Research Analyst

What is left to be done to finalize the NDA submission for COMP360?

Kabir NathCEO

We now have all the data required for it in hand. Today, we put out the 52-week data from the first study and that safety database, and that was consistent with everything we have seen. That safety data will go into the filing. Right now, we are actually finalizing the integration of the two studies, the ISS. The team is working very hard on that, and that will be the last piece of the clinical module to go in. Pre-clinical, CMC, others are already in, already under review. We are already getting information requests on those.

Josh SchimmerBiotech Equity Research Analyst

Any other highlights from today's press release to flag here?

Kabir NathCEO

I'll hand to Lori to talk about what it really means for the commercial profile and how it really, again, strengthens what we're already seeing for COMP360.

Lori EnglebertChief Commercial Officer

Yeah, we're really excited about the data that came out today for our open label portion of Part C for COMP005. That data really does help in three ways as we prepare specifically for the commercial launch. First and foremost is that it helps us start to understand what the average number of doses will be on an annualized basis. This becomes important because this is how we will likely price the product on a per dose basis on an annualized price. This really does help us construct the profile that we will put in front of payers as we start initiating our negotiations with payers. The other piece that's important to this is that it really does help us guide physicians in terms of what to expect for redosing.

Lori EnglebertChief Commercial Officer

That becomes important because open label data is extremely important for physicians because physicians like to take a look at what happens in open label data from clinical trials to have an analog as to what will happen in the real world. Of course, they understand, and they look at the double-blind piece when they're trying to understand the rigor that was applied and the scientific integrity that went into the clinical trials. But the open label portion of data really is more indicative of what real-world looks like. So we're pretty excited about the data that came out today.

Josh SchimmerBiotech Equity Research Analyst

Can you elaborate on that, Lori? Because I think you've guided to maybe three to four treatments per year for patients. As we think about what is that real-world experience that they're going through that might have them coming back at this particular frequency?

Lori EnglebertChief Commercial Officer

Yeah, I'll certainly start, but then I think it would be important to hear from the clinician up here. So what we're seeing from the data and what we expect is there will be an average of about 2 to 4, which is about 3 on an average basis. But it will obviously have some variation based on patients. It's important to note that in our clinical trials, we have only ever studied four doses in one year. So we're not seeing a need based on the data immediately from the clinical trials for anything more than four. So that's why we're estimating somewhere in that 2 to 4 range. But in terms of when a patient may need to be redosed, the dosing portion of the label will say two initial doses, minimum of three weeks apart, which is analogous to our COMP006 clinical trial.
