Rhelion Life Sciences Corp. (CSE: RHEL; OTCQB: TRUFF) said its wholly owned subsidiary, Filament Health Corp., has entered a license agreement with Toronto’s University Health Network to supply PEX010 for a randomized clinical trial studying psilocybin as a potential treatment for depression in people with Parkinson’s disease.

The investigator-initiated study, called PSI-PARK, will be sponsored and conducted by UHN under principal investigator Dr. Joshua Rosenblat. Filament will provide PEX010 as the investigational drug product but will not sponsor, manage or conduct the trial.

Rhelion did not disclose the agreement’s financial terms, planned enrollment, study start date or expected data-readout timeline.

PEX010 is Filament’s standardized, GMP-manufactured botanical psilocybin candidate. It is available in doses ranging from 0.5 milligrams to 25 milligrams and is being supplied to academic research and compassionate-access programs. Rhelion acquired Filament on April 30, adding its manufacturing capabilities, clinical infrastructure and portfolio of 76 issued patents.

Scientific evidence for psilocybin in Parkinson’s disease remains preliminary. A separate 2025 open-label pilot enrolled 12 participants with mild-to-moderate Parkinson’s disease and depression or anxiety. Participants received two psilocybin doses combined with psychotherapy.

Researchers reported no serious adverse events and improvements in depression and anxiety measures that persisted through the three-month assessment. However, the study had no placebo group, involved a small sample and could not separate the effects of psilocybin from psychotherapy. Its authors said randomized controlled trials were needed to assess efficacy.

The UHN agreement provides Rhelion with another research use for PEX010 but does not establish the candidate’s safety, efficacy or commercial potential. Rhelion’s announcement also states that the company is not responsible for conducting PSI-PARK. The trial could face enrollment, regulatory or scheduling delays and may not produce clinically meaningful results.

Rhelion, formerly Red Light Holland, reported C$8.47 million in cash and C$4.20 million in revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. Revenue declined 15% from the previous year, while its adjusted EBITDA loss widened to C$2.93 million from C$2.53 million. These financial figures predate the April 30 Filament acquisition and do not reflect a full reporting period for the combined company.
