In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this study is to learn how psilocybin delivered with mindfulness-based therapy may help symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This is an assessor-blinded, randomized, controlled study in participants with PTSD. The study will investigate the changes in brain activity, connectivity, and microstructural neuroplasticity assessed using EEG/EMG and multimodal MRI measures after administration of one oral dose of psilocybin, accompanied either with standard "psychological support" only; or with standard support plus Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).

๐Ÿ“‹ Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria Participants meeting the following criteria will be included in the study: 1. Participant is assigned female or male at birth. 2. Participant is aged between 21 to 65 years, inclusive, at Screening. This is to reduce variability in brain function and connectivity in this small pilot study that may be related to age / developmental factors in persons under 21 and over 65. 3. Participant has a BMI of 18 to 30 kg/m2, inclusive, at Screening. 4. Participant has a diagnosis of PTSD (as defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition \[DSM-5\] established through a clinician interview that includes the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview \[MINI\]) and the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5). 5. PTSD severity moderate to severe based on CAPS-5 score โ‰ฅ25, and with moderate depression MADRS โ‰ฅ20. 6. Participants capable of producing sperm must use a condom during the trial and for 3 months after their dose of trial medication, if their partner is a person of childbearing potential. In addition, their partner of childbearing potential must also use a highly effective method of contraception (i.e., failure rate less than 1% when used consistently and correctly) from dosing until 3 months following dosing. Condoms alone and abstinence are not considered highly effective methods of contraception. 7. Participants of childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception (i.e., failure rate less than 1% when used consistently and correctly) in combination with use of a condom by a partner who is capable of producing sperm, during the trial and for 3 months after dosing. Condoms alone and abstinence are not considered highly effective methods of contraception. Such participants must have a negative pregnancy test at Screening and Day 1. 8. Participants of non-childbearing potential who are or were capable of producing eggs (ova) must be postmenopausal or permanently sterile following hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy or bilateral oophorectomy. Postmenopausal is defined as spontaneous amenorrhea for at least 12 months, and a serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the menopausal range, unless the participant is taking hormone replacement therapy or is using hormonal contraception. 9. Provision of giving written informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the consent form. If appropriate, describe why certain populations may be excluded (e.g., non-English speaking individuals for studies involving informed consent). Exclusion Criteria Participants with the following will be excluded from study participation: 1. Cardiovascular disease, including coronary artery disease (CAD) and congestive heart failure (CHF). This is an FDA requirement. 2. Current or previously diagnosis of schizophrenia spectrum or other psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, schizotypal disorder, schizophreniform disorder or brief psychotic disorder; current or previous history of bipolar disorder, or current personality disorder (as determined by MINI at Screening). This is an FDA requirement. 3. Clinically significant risk of suicidality, as determined through a comprehensive psychiatric interview that incorporates the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (CSSRS); a score of 4 or higher on the suicidal ideation subscale of C-SSRS (past 6 months) or any suicidal behaviour (lifetime), would be exclusionary. 4. History of substance use disorder within the 12 months, as assessed by a structured clinical interview (Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview \[MINI\], Version 7.0.2) or determined by self-report, or intake of \>21 units of alcohol weekly, and the inability to refrain from alcohol use from 48 hours before Screening and each scheduled visit until discharge from the study site. One unit is equivalent to a 285 mL glass of full-strength beer or 1 (30 mL) measure of spirits or 1 glass (100 mL) of wine. 5. Currently receiving a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, tricyclic antidepressant, other non-SSRI or non-SNRI antidepressants (e.g. bupropion, mirtazapine, etc), an antipsychotic or a mood stabilizer. 6. Exposure to psilocybin, or any other psychedelics, such as ayahuasca, mescaline, LSD or peyote more than 10 times in the last 10 years, or any psychedelic use within 6 months prior to Screening. 7. Use of psychotropic medicine/supplement (or medicine/supplement that would interact with psilocybin) including buspirone and venlafaxine, during the 28 days before dosing. Participants may take a stable chronic dose of other SSRI antidepressant medication(s) and/or sedatives/hypnotics. The Investigator and study team may review medication on a case-by-case basis to determine if its use would compromise participant safety or interfere with study procedures or data interpretation. 8. Family history of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder (first degree relatives), or bipolar disorder type 1 (first degree relatives). 9. Clinically relevant history of abnormal physical health interfering with the study as determined by medical history and physical examinations obtained during Screening as judged by the Investigator (including \[but not limited to\], neurological, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal (including dyspepsia or gastroesophageal reflux disease), hepatic, or renal disorder). 10. Participant has a presence or relevant history of any of the following medical conditions: organic brain disorders (e.g., epilepsy, seizure, intracranial hypertension, intracranial bleed and aneurysmal disease, brain tumor or other medical conditions associated with seizures or convulsions). 11. Diagnosis of hypertension or arrhythmia. 12. Clinically relevant abnormal heart rate (resting supine heart rate \>100 bpm) or blood pressure (resting supine systolic blood pressure (SBP) above 140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP)
