Red Light Holland's Wholly Owned Subsidiary, Filament Health, Advances PEX010 Clinical Footprint with New Canadian Academic Studies in Palliative Care, Bipolar II Depression, and Healthy Adult Mechanism Research

2026-05-14 08:31 ET - News Release

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 14, 2026) - Red Light Holland Corp. (CSE: TRIP) (OTCQB: TRUFF) (FSE: 4YX) ("Red Light" or the "Company") is an Ontario based organization advancing innovation and research within the legal psychedelic sector. Following its acquisition of Filament Health Corp. ("Filament"), the Company has expanded its pharmaceutical grade manufacturing, regulatory, and clinical research capabilities, supporting the advancement of naturally derived psilocybin development and Filament's patented botanical drug candidate, PEX010. Red Light is pleased to confirm additional shipments of Filament Health's PEX010 supporting:

Bruyère Health Research Institute ("Bruyère") – Ongoing shipments in support of the Microdose Open Label Extension of the study titled "PSilocybin for psYCHological and Existential Distress in PALliative care ("PSYCHED-PAL"): A multi-site, open-label, single arm phase I/II proof-of-concept, dose-finding, and feasibility clinical trial," advancing investigation of naturally derived psilocybin in patients experiencing psychological and existential distress in a palliative care setting. The Phase I/II study, published in Palliative Medicine, reported improvements in demoralization, depression, anxiety and subjective well-being among participants who completed the three-week trial, with no serious adverse effects reported. Building on these findings, Bruyère is now advancing a follow-up multi-site Phase 3 double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving up to seven sites to evaluate the efficacy of microdose psilocybin for improving psychological distress in people with advanced illness receiving palliative care.

University of Calgary ("UCalgary") – A first time shipment supporting a newly initiated study titled "The role of the subjective experience in supporting positive effects following psilocybin: a randomized, controlled clinical trial using risperidone in healthy adults," exploring the mechanistic role of the subjective psychedelic experience in shaping psilocybin's long-term effects.

University of British Columbia ("UBC") – Further to the Company's May 7, 2026 press release, which referenced a first time shipment supporting a clinical study at a then unnamed Canadian academic institution, Red Light is now pleased to confirm that this shipment supports the UBC study titled "Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy for Treatment-Resistant Depression in Bipolar II Disorder: A Randomized Controlled Trial." The UBC study is of particular interest as it investigates psilocybin in bipolar disorder, a population that has been largely understudied in psychedelic clinical research due to historical safety concerns and represents an important step toward expanding the evidence base for naturally derived psilocybin in patient populations that have been excluded from prior trials.

"These new and continuing shipments reflect the breadth of clinical questions researchers are exploring with Filament Health's PEX010 botanical psilocybin drug candidate, from palliative care and treatment-resistant bipolar depression to fundamental mechanistic work in healthy adults," said Todd Shapiro, CEO and Director of Red Light. "We are proud that PEX010 continues to be a supply of choice for leading Canadian academic institutions, and we remain committed to supporting investigators advancing the science of psychedelic medicine."

PEX010, Filament Health's botanical psilocybin drug candidate, underscores Filament's position as a leading supplier of pharmaceutical grade natural psilocybin, supporting more than 70 academic and philanthropic research studies worldwide.

On April 30, 2026, Red Light completed its previously announced acquisition of Filament Health Corp., including its portfolio of 76 issued patents across 15 patent families and its lead drug candidate, PEX010, creating a global leader in psychedelic drug development, commercialization, and distribution.
