Intranasal Ketamine for Existential Distress in Advanced Cancer

This secondary analysis of the INKeD-PC trial (n=15) found that three doses of intranasal racemic ketamine in patients with advanced cancer receiving palliative care led to clinically meaningful improvements in existential distress, anxiety, symptom burden, and quality of life, with psychological symptoms improving more than physical ones.

HOPE: A Pilot Study of Psilocybin Enhanced Group Psychotherapy in Patients with Cancer

This open-label study (n=12) investigates the potential of psilocybin-assisted group therapy (PAT) in cancer patients suffering from depression. Participants underwent preparatory sessions, a high-dose (25mg) psilocybin group session, and integration sessions over three weeks, with clinical outcomes measured at baseline, two weeks, and 26 weeks post-intervention. Results show significant decreases in depression symptoms and no serious adverse events, suggesting safety, feasibility, and possible efficacy of the therapy.
