A Phase III, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to investigate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of COMP360 in participants with treatment-resistant depression
Recruiting
COMP360 is a human-made form of the naturally occurring chemical compound, psilocybin which may help in treating depression. In this research study we are comparing COMP360 to placebo, when administered with psychological support from a trained study therapist. Placebo is a substance that has no active medical ingredients and is commonly used in research studies to see if the investigational drug works better or is as safe as not taking anything at all.
