This open-label trial (n=12), also known as PSILODEP-PILOT is the first to test psilocybin in patients in the UK. The study found psilocybin (10-25mg, x2) to be well-tolerated.
Open-label, interventional Phase II pilot in treatment-resistant major depression testing two single oral doses of psilocybin (10 mg and 25 mg) given one week apart in the same participants.
Primary outcome: QIDS measured at baseline, one day and one week post-dose; secondary outcomes include BDI, HAM-D and MADRS. Safety and tolerability were reported and multiple peer-reviewed results publications are linked to the registry record.
Open-label treatment with two oral psilocybin doses separated by one week (within-subject).
Two oral doses: 10 mg and 25 mg, separated by one week.
This open-label study (n=20) expands on earlier work by Carhart-Harris and colleagues on the use of psilocybin-assisted therapy for treatment-resistant depression (TRD).
