Inhaled DMT for Major Depressive Disorder

Abstract

This Phase 2b, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled clinical trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of inhaled N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) in adults with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). The study will test whether inhaled DMT can rapidly reduce depressive symptoms and suicide risk compared with a low-dose active comparator. A total of 140 participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either 15 mg followed 1 hour later by 60 mg of inhaled DMT, or 1 mg followed 1 hour later by 4 mg of inhaled DMT. Participants who do not achieve remission at Day 7 will enter an open-label extension and receive a high-dose DMT session on Day 14 (±3 days). All participants will be followed for up to 12 months to evaluate the durability of response, safety, functioning, and quality of life.
