A Phase II, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of up to Two Doses of Psilocybin for the Treatment of Major Depressive Disorder in Adults With Cancer
RecruitingRegisteredCTG
This Phase II, single-center trial (n=56) investigates the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of up to two doses of psilocybin (25mg) administered at an interval of 9 to 10 weeks in patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and cancer.
Details
Randomized, quadruple-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II study using group dosing sessions to evaluate fixed 25 mg oral psilocybin versus niacin 100 mg in adults with MDD and a malignant neoplasm.
Dosing Session 1 is randomized (psilocybin 25 mg or niacin 100 mg). Non-remitters (MADRS ≥10 at V7) may roll over into an open-label Session 2 to receive a second 25 mg psilocybin dose; participants are supported by a dedicated study therapist during group sessions.
