Major Depression

Reimbursement: Up to £2190  

About This clinical research study

Despite the availability of numerous methods of medical and psychological treatments, fewer than 50% of all patients with depression show full recovery with optimised treatment such as CBT and depression medications.

MAC Clinical Research is conducting a clinical trial for people with depression who have tried two standard depression treatments (including therapy), but do not feel that they have worked sufficiently to reduce their depression symptoms.

The study medication SPL026 (DMT fumarate), a psychedelic compound which is similar to psilocybin, the psychedelic component of magic mushrooms, will be compared to a placebo (inactive medication) for its effects on treating depression. The study involves two sessions.

Researching into psychedelic compounds to treat depression in a controlled, clinical environment may go on to provide alternative depression treatment options for people with treatment resistant depression.

ABOUT CLINICAL RESEARCH STUDIES

Clinical research studies are performed as a way of bringing about progress in medicine and research. Clinical research studies make it possible to scientifically assess the properties of a drug, to demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of a treatment or a medical device, or to learn more about a disease and methods to diagnose and monitor it.

If the study is successful, it may be an important step towards developing a promising new treatment.

MAC Clinical Research is conducting a trial to evaluate a potential new treatment for depression
