Diamond Therapeutics Enters Agreement with OnDosis to Support Low-Dose Psilocybin Programs
Diamond Therapeutics Inc. (“Diamond”), a clinical-stage drug development company and OnDosis, a developer of precision dosing technologies for oral solid medicines, announced today that they have entered into an agreement regarding the use of the OnDosis drug delivery platform, the Dosage Manager, in Diamond’s psychoactive low-dose psilocybin programs.
Diamond has been seeking a dosing technology partner capable of reliably delivering controlled doses of psilocybin, as part of its long-term development strategy. Following an evaluation process, the company selected OnDosis for its ability to support accurate and reproducible dosing and assist with compliance, as well as its potential to scale from clinical research into future commercial use. The OnDosis platform allows for precise dose titration and includes features intended to support controlled administration.
Diamond is currently conducting a Phase 2a clinical study evaluating low, sub-perceptual doses of its psilocybin formulation in patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). The study is designed to better understand the relationship between dose, dosing frequency, safety, tolerability, and potential therapeutic benefit.
Under the agreement, Diamond is exploring the integration of its psilocybin formulation with the OnDosis device (Dosage Manager) for use in ongoing and future research and development activities. Subject to regulatory review and approval, the partnership aims to advance the integrated technology to a commercial setting, creating continuity between clinical development and later-stage deployment.
Diamond is investigating psychoactive low-dose psilocybin as a potential treatment approach for mood, psychiatric, and other disorders, with the aim of developing differentiated therapies that may help address unmet needs in mental health care.

Judy Blumstock, CEO of Diamond Therapeutics, said: “Executing this agreement with OnDosis allows us to progress a prescription therapeutic drug delivery approach aligned with Diamond’s vision for accessible, well-tolerated psilocybin-based therapies.

Martin Olovsson, CEO of OnDosis said: “This important step highlights the applicability of our Dosage Manager in emerging therapeutic areas such as psychedelic medicine. By enabling individualized dosing whilst supporting controlled administration, we aim to support treatment models suitable for home use while reducing demands on healthcare systems.”
