Founded in 2018, GH Research Ireland develops novel therapies for the management of psychiatric and neurological disorders. The company’s lead product, GH001, is an innovative drug product for 5-MeO-DMT administration via a proprietary inhalation approach. GH001 has completed a Phase 1 healthy volunteer clinical trial, where administration of GH001 was observed to be well-tolerated, and a dose range and individualized dosing regimen was also defined. GH001 is currently being investigated in an ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial in patients with Treatment-Resistant Depression. The company’s goal is to administer GH001 in a single-day individualized dosing regimen that enables patients to achieve a rapid and durable remission with convenient administration.
GH Research Ireland plans to advance GH001 into clinical development in additional psychiatric and neurological disorders beyond Treatment-Resistant Depression. The company also plans to advance GH002, its injectable 5-MeO-DMT product candidate, into clinical development, as well as explore additional drug delivery approaches.
