MORRISTOWN, New Jersey, October 9th, 2024 – Reunion Neuroscience Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to revolutionizing the treatment of underserved mental health disorders through the advancement of next-generation psychedelic therapeutic solutions, today announced a new partnership with the Seleni Institute, a New York City based nonprofit that provides treatment and training regarding maternal mental health and wellness issues.

This partnership will grant healthcare professionals access to the Seleni Institute’s comprehensive, evidence-based training on maternal mental health conditions such as perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) and perinatal grief. The courses provide expert instruction on the effective diagnosis and treatment of reproductive and maternal health disorders including postpartum depression (PPD).

“At Reunion, we recognize the urgent need to address and increase awareness of maternal mental health conditions, which affect 1 in 5 women during pregnancy or following childbirth. Through our partnership with the Seleni Institute and sponsorship of evidence-based training courses, we aim to ensure that healthcare professionals have access to valuable educational resources to more effectively diagnose and treat maternal mental health disorders,” said Greg Mayes, President and Chief Executive Officer of Reunion Neuroscience. “In tandem with this partnership, we continue to support the broader maternal mental health community with the advancement of our Phase 2 RECONNECT trial evaluating our lead candidate RE104 in adult female patients with moderate-to-severe PPD.”

The RECONNECT Phase 2 clinical trial (NCT06342310), a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active dose-controlled clinical trial is evaluating the safety and efficacy of a single subcutaneous dose of RE104 in adult female patients with moderate-to-severe PPD.
