In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This is a double-blind, adaptive, 2-stage, multi-site, phase 2 randomized controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate effects of moderate and high dose psilocybin, relative to low-dose psilocybin control, in OUD patients who continue to use illicit opioids in spite of adherence to standard-of-care treatment with methadone. Up to 480 participations will be consented to yield 240 randomized participants. This study is part of the NIH HEAL Initiative (https://heal.nih.gov/). In Stage 1, subjects will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: psilocybin 30 mg (high dose), psilocybin 20 mg (medium dose), and psilocybin 1 mg (control condition). By the end of Stage 1, an interim statistical analysis will be performed. The study will proceed to Stage 2 if at least one of the active dosages of psilocybin demonstrates 1) acceptable safety, based on analysis of safety data from Stage 1; and

Regarding nicotine, they must agree not to use nicotine for at least 1 hour before and 6 hours following IP administration. Regarding caffeine, they must agree to consume approximately their usual amount of caffeine on the morning of Day 0 (prior to IP administration). 16.

Subjects who are able to become pregnant must: * Have a negative pregnancy test at Screening Part 2 (Reassessed at Day 0 (pre-IP administration); * Not be currently breastfeeding; * Not intend to become pregnant during participation in this study; * Agree to use a highly effective form of contraception from the time of the Screening Part 2 until 7 days after the IP Administration Session. Highly effective forms of contraception include: 1) Consistent and correct usage of established oral contraception; 2) Injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception; 3) Established intrauterine device or intrauterine system; 4) Bilateral tubal ligation; 5) Intercourse with a partner who has undergone effective surgical sterilization, provided that partner is the sole sexual partner of the study subject; 6) Abstinence from penile/vaginal intercourse, if the Investigator determines that the subject can reliably adhere to the plan, based on evaluation of the social circumstances of the subject. 3. Agree not to donate or bank eggs from the time of Screening Part 2 until 7 days after the IP Administration Session. 4. Subjects who can emit sperm are defined as those who: * Have one or more testes and * Have not had a documented effective surgical sterilization procedure (e.g., vasectomy, radical prostatectomy). 5. Subjects who can emit sperm must: * Practice effective contraception from Screening Part 2 until 7 days after the IP Administration Session.
