ABSTRACT


BACKGROUND

Psilocybin is being studied for use in treatment-resistant depression.


METHODS

Download a PDF of the Research Summary.

In this phase 2 double-blind trial, we randomly assigned adults with
treatment-resistant depression to receive a single dose of a proprietary,
synthetic formulation of psilocybin at a dose of 25 mg, 10 mg, or 1 mg
(control), along with psychological support. The primary end point was the
change from baseline to week 3 in the total score on the Montgomery–Åsberg
Depression Rating Scale (MADRS; range, 0 to 60, with higher scores indicating
more severe depression). Secondary end points included response at week 3 (≥50%
decrease from baseline in the MADRS total score), remission at week 3 (MADRS
total score ≤10), and sustained response at 12 weeks (meeting response criteria
at week 3 and all subsequent visits).


RESULTS

A total of 79 participants were in the 25-mg group, 75 in the 10-mg group, and
79 in the 1-mg group. The mean MADRS total score at baseline was 32 or 33 in
each group. Least-squares mean changes from baseline to week 3 in the score were
−12.0 for 25 mg, −7.9 for 10 mg, and −5.4 for 1 mg; the difference between the
25-mg group and 1-mg group was −6.6 (95% confidence interval [CI], −10.2 to
−2.9; P<0.001) and between the 10-mg group and 1-mg group was −2.5 (95% CI, −6.2
to 1.2; P=0.18). In the 25-mg group, the incidences of response and remission at
3 weeks, but not sustained response at 12 weeks, were generally supportive of
the primary results. Adverse events occurred in 179 of 233 participants (77%)
and included headache, nausea, and dizziness. Suicidal ideation or behavior or
self-injury occurred in all dose groups.


CONCLUSIONS

In this phase 2 trial involving participants with treatment-resistant
depression, psilocybin at a single dose of 25 mg, but not 10 mg, reduced
depression scores significantly more than a 1-mg dose over a period of 3 weeks
but was associated with adverse effects. Larger and longer trials, including
comparison with existing treatments, are required to determine the efficacy and
safety of psilocybin for this disorder. (Funded by COMPASS Pathfinder; EudraCT
