Overview

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to transforming the treatment of psychiatric and neurological disorders. Our initial focus is on developing our novel and proprietary 5-Methoxy-N,N-Dimethyltryptamine, or 5-MeO-DMT, therapies for the treatment of patients with Treatment-Resistant Depression, or TRD. Our portfolio currently includes GH001, our proprietary inhalable 5-MeO-DMT product candidate which is delivered via a vaporization device produced by a third party, and GH002, our proprietary injectable 5-MeO-DMT product candidate, and GH003, our proprietary intranasal 5-MeO-DMT product candidate. We have completed two Phase 1 healthy volunteer clinical trials (GH001-HV-101 and GH001-HV-103), in which administration of GH001 via inhalation was observed to be well tolerated at the investigated single dose levels and in an individualized dosing regimen with intra-subject dose escalation within a single day. We have also completed a Phase 1/2 clinical trial in patients with TRD (GH001-TRD-102). Based on observed clinical activity in the Phase 1 part of the clinical trial, we believe that administration of a single dose of GH001 has the potential to induce ultra-rapid remissions as measured by the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale, or MADRS, in certain patients, driven by the ultra-rapid onset of psychoactive effects (commonly within seconds) and an intense and short-lived (commonly five to 30 minutes) initial psychoactive experience. Based on observed clinical activity in the Phase 2 part of the trial, we believe that administration of an individualized dosing regimen with intra-subject dose escalation within a single day can further increase the MADRS remission rate as compared to a single dose of GH001.

We have incurred recurring operating losses since inception, including net losses of $5.4 million, $9.2 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $15.5 million. We expect to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as we expand our research and development activities. In addition, our losses from operations may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, depending on the timing of our clinical trials, our expenditures on other research and development activities and based on foreign exchange movements. We anticipate that our expenses will increase significantly in connection with our ongoing activities, as we:

•
continue to develop and conduct clinical trials, including in expanded geographies such as the United States, for GH001, our inhalable 5-MeO-DMT product candidate, GH002, our injectable 5-MeO-DMT product candidate, and GH003, our intranasal 5-MeO-DMT product candidate for our initial indications and any additional indications;

•
continue both the technical development and expansion of our external manufacturing capabilities for our current product candidates GH001, GH002 and GH003 and of the medical devices required to deliver these product candidates;

•
initiate and continue research and development, including nonclinical, clinical, and discovery efforts for any future product candidates;
•
seek to identify additional product candidates;

•
seek regulatory approvals for our product candidates GH001, GH002 and GH003 including the medical devices required to deliver these product candidates, or any other product candidates that successfully complete clinical development;

•
add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support our product candidate and device development and help us comply with our obligations as a public company;

•
hire and retain additional personnel, such as clinical, quality control, scientific, commercial, sales, marketing and administrative personnel;

•
continue to prepare, file, prosecute, maintain, protect and enforce our intellectual property rights and claims;

•
establish sales, marketing, distribution, manufacturing, supply chain and other commercial infrastructure in the future to commercialize various products for which we may obtain regulatory approval;

•
comply with ongoing regulatory requirements for products approved for commercial sale, if ever;

•
acquire or in-license other product candidates, medical devices to deliver our product candidates, and other technologies; and

•
incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company.

In addition, as we progress toward marketing approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product manufacturing, marketing, sales, and distribution.

As a result, we will need substantial additional funding to support our continuing operations and pursue our growth strategy. Until such time as we can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through the sale of equity, debt financings or other capital sources, including potential collaborations with other companies or other strategic transactions. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If we fail to raise capital or enter into such agreements as, and when, needed, we may have to significantly delay, scale back, or discontinue the development and commercialization of one or more of our product candidates or other research and development initiatives, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. We will need to generate significant revenue to achieve profitability, and we may never do so.

We are subject to a number of risks comparable to those of other similar companies, including dependence on key individuals; the need to develop product candidates with the required safety and efficacy profile and which support regulatory approval and are commercially viable; competition from other companies, many of which are larger and better capitalized; and the need to obtain adequate additional financing to fund the development of our product candidates.

Business Updates

GH001 for the treatment of TRD

GH001 is our proprietary inhalable 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT) product candidate.

In March 2022, we announced our plan to submit clinical trial applications in several European countries for a multi-center, randomized, controlled Phase 2b trial of GH001 in treatment-resistant depression (TRD) (GH001-TRD-201). We plan to submit such applications beginning in the third quarter of 2022. When such applications are approved, we expect to recruit approximately 80 patients for this trial. The primary objective will be to determine the efficacy of a single-day individualized-dosing regimen (IDR) of GH001 compared with placebo in improving depressive symptoms as assessed by the mean change from baseline in Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) at the end of the 7-day double-blind phase. The double-blind phase will be followed by a 6-month open-label extension phase where all patients can receive treatment with the GH001 IDR as-needed, based on the patient’s clinical response.

In May 2022, we also announced the positive outcome of our pre-IND meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and we expect to submit our IND for GH001 in TRD not later than the first quarter of 2023. The planned IND-opening study is a Phase 1 imaging study in patients with TRD designed to further elucidate the mechanism of action of GH001 (GH001-TRD-104).
GH001 for the treatment of BDII and PPD

Our recently announced Phase 2a proof-of-concept clinical trials of GH001 for the treatment of patients with bipolar II disorder and a current depressive episode (BDII) (GH001-BD-202) and for the treatment of patients with postpartum depression (PPD) (GH001-PPD-203) have now received regulatory approvals and site startup activities have commenced. The trials have an open-label, single-arm design with 7 days duration and they are expected to recruit approximately 15 patients each. The primary objective of the trials will be to determine the efficacy of a single day IDR of GH001 in improving depressive symptoms as assessed by mean change in MADRS from baseline to day 7.

GH002 and GH003

GH002 is our 5-MeO-DMT product candidate formulated for administration via a proprietary injectable approach. GH002 has completed pre-clinical development to support early clinical trials and we expect to submit a clinical trial application for a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, dose-ranging clinical pharmacology trial in healthy volunteers (GH002-HV-105) in the fourth quarter of 2022.

GH003 is our 5-MeO-DMT product candidate formulated for administration via a proprietary intranasal administration approach. GH003 is currently in preclinical development.

COVID-19 Business Update

With the global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic ongoing, we have followed guidance issued by national and local governments to address and mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our employees and our business, including our nonclinical studies and clinical trials. We are focused on the health and safety of our employees, and have, among other things, implemented a work-from-home policy and eliminated non-essential business travel. While we are experiencing limited financial impacts at this time, the extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, operations and development timelines and plans remains highly uncertain. The overall disruption of global healthcare systems and the other risks and uncertainties associated with the pandemic as well as any economic slowdown as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We continue to closely monitor the COVID-19 pandemic as we evolve our business continuity plans, clinical development plans and response strategy.

In addition, our planned clinical trials have been and may continue to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, including (i) delays or difficulties in enrolling and retaining patients in our planned clinical trials, including patients that may not be able or willing to comply with clinical trial protocols if quarantines impede patient movement or interrupt healthcare services; (ii) delays or difficulties in clinical site initiation, including difficulties in recruiting and retaining clinical site investigators and clinical site staff as well as closures of trial sites; (iii) diversion or prioritization of healthcare resources away from the conduct of clinical trials and towards the COVID-19 pandemic, including the diversion of hospitals serving as our clinical trial sites and hospital staff supporting the conduct of our clinical trials, and because, who, as healthcare providers, may have heightened exposure to COVID-19 and adversely impact our clinical trial operations; (iv) interruption of our future clinical supply chain or key clinical trial activities, such as clinical trial site monitoring, due to limitations on travel imposed or recommended by federal, state/provincial or municipal governments, employers and others; and (v) limitations in outsourced third-party resources that would otherwise be focused on the conduct of our planned clinical trials, including because of sickness of third-party personnel or their families, or the desire of third-party personnel to avoid contact with large groups of people.

Research and development expenses increased by $2.3 million from $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, to $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to increased external costs relating to our technical development and clinical trials and employee expenses relating to the hiring of personnel in our research and development team to support the requirements of increased clinical activities. The research and development expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 have been substantially incurred pursuant to the development of GH001.

General and administrative expenses increased by $1.8 million from $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $1.4 million in insurance costs and an increase of $0.4 million in employee expenses in our general and administrative functions to support our growth initiatives.

Finance expense

Our financial expense decreased from $6 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2021 to $nil for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Foreign exchange gain

Foreign exchange gain increased to $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily due to the translation of the U.S. dollar cash balance into euro in the accounts of our subsidiary, GH Research Ireland Limited, which uses the euro as its functional currency.

General and administrative expenses increased by $4.6 million from $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, to $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $2.9 million in insurance costs, an increase of $0.9 million in professional fees and an increase of $0.8 million in employee expenses in our general and administrative functions to support our growth initiatives.

Finance expense

Our financial expense decreased from $6 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $nil for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Foreign exchange gain

Foreign exchange gain increased to $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily due to the translation of the U.S. dollar cash balance into euro in the accounts of our subsidiary, GH Research Ireland Limited, which uses the euro as its functional currency.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

We have incurred operating losses since inception, and we have not generated any revenue from any product sales or any other sources. We have not yet commercialized any of our product candidates, which are in various phases of technical and clinical development, and we do not expect to generate revenue from sales of any products for several years, if at all. Until such time as we can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through the sale of equity, debt financings or other capital sources, including potential collaborations with other companies or other strategic transactions. We have funded our operations to date primarily through equity financings, including our initial public offering. As of June 30, 2022, we had cash of $265.4 million.

We plan to continue to fund our operating and capital funding needs through sales of additional equity or other forms of financing. We may also consider pursuing strategic partnerships for clinical development and commercialization of our product candidates. The sale of additional equity would result in additional dilution to our shareholders.

Cash Flows

The following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

Net Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities

Net cash flows used in operating activities increased by $9.0 million to $11.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to a $10.9 million increase in loss from operations which has been partially offset by an increase in share-based compensation expense of $0.8 million and an increase of $1.2 million related to changes in the components in working capital.

Net Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

Net cash flows used in investing activities decreased to $34 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $35 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was due to the timing of the purchase of property, plant and equipment.

Net Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash flows from financing activities decreased to $nil for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from $289.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was due to the proceeds received from the issuance of Series B preferred shares and our initial public offering, each of which took place during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Funding Requirements

We expect our expenses to increase substantially in connection with our ongoing research and development activities, particularly as we advance the technical development work, nonclinical studies and clinical trials of our product candidates and the medical devices required to deliver such product candidates. In addition, if we obtain regulatory approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. Furthermore, we expect to continue to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company. Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, convertible debt financings, strategic collaborations and licensing arrangements. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, which are outlined in our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021 and this discussion and analysis. We believe that the Group has sufficient financial resources available to cover its planned cash outflows for at least the next twelve months.

Critical Accounting Estimates

There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies and significant judgments and estimates from those referred to in the section in our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021 titled “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—E. Critical Accounting Estimates”.

Emerging Growth Company Status

On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart our Business Act of 2021 (“JOBS Act”) was enacted. As an emerging growth company, or EGC, under the JOBS Act, we can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. This provision allows an EGC to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. This transition period is only applicable under U.S. GAAP. As a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required or permitted by the International Accounting Standards Board.

As an EGC, we also rely on other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements under the JOBS Act including exemptions from (i) providing an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and (ii) complying with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements, known as the auditor discussion and analysis.

We will remain classified as an EGC until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (i) in which we have total annual gross revenue of $1.07 billion; (ii) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering; or (iii) in which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer,” which requires the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates to exceed $700 million as of the prior June 30th, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three-year period.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

As disclosed in note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, there are no standards issued but not yet adopted which are expected to have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
