5-HT2A Agonist Psilocybin in the Treatment of Tobacco Use Disorder
This study will be a multi-site, double-blind, randomized clinical trial of the 5-HT2A receptor agonist psilocybin for smoking cessation. The current trial will be conducted across three sites with experience in conducting psilocybin research: Johns Hopkins University (JHU), the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), and New York University Grossman School of Medicine (NYU). The proposed double-blind study will treat 66 participants (22 at each site), randomized to receive either: 1) oral psilocybin; 30 mg in session 1 and either 30 mg or 40 mg in session 2, with sessions 1 week apart (total 2 drug exposures separated by approximately one week); or 2) oral niacin; 150 mg in session 1 and either 150 mg or 200 mg in session 2, with sessions 1 week apart (total 2 drug exposures separated by approximately one week).
A Phase 2b Randomized Double-blind Placebo-controlled Multi-center Study of the Effects of Psilocybin-assisted Psychotherapy on Psychiatric and Existential Distress in Advanced Cancer
This trial is designed to evaluate efficacy and psychological mechanisms of single-dose psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy (PAP) to treat psychiatric (anxiety, depression) and existential distress (demoralization, death anxiety), and quality-of-life (QOL), in 200 outpatients with late-stage or advanced cancer. The study will assess the strength and durability of therapeutic effects in a double-blind, parallel-design, placebo-controlled, two-center RCT comparing a single 25mg oral ‘high’ dose of psilocybin to a single 100mg dose of niacin (active placebo), both delivered in conjunction with a psychotherapy platform.
