Compass Pathways Plc is currently conducting a Phase III clinical study titled ‘A Phase III, Multicentre, Randomised, Double-blind, Controlled Study to Investigate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Two Administrations of COMP360 in Participants With Treatment-resistant Depression.’ The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of COMP360, a psilocybin-based therapy, in adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). This research is significant as it explores new treatment avenues for individuals who do not respond to conventional depression therapies.
The intervention being tested is COMP360, a formulation of psilocybin. This compound is administered in three different doses (25 mg, 10 mg, and 1 mg) to assess its impact on alleviating depressive symptoms when combined with psychological support.
The study employs a randomized, parallel-group design with a quadruple masking approach, meaning that participants, care providers, investigators, and outcomes assessors are blinded to the treatment allocation. The primary purpose of this interventional study is to treat TRD effectively.
The study began on February 14, 2023, with an estimated completion date of August 19, 2025. These dates are crucial as they mark the timeline for data collection and analysis, impacting the potential availability of new treatment options for TRD.
The ongoing study could significantly influence Compass Pathways’ stock performance and investor sentiment, particularly if the results demonstrate a positive impact of COMP360 on TRD. This could position Compass Pathways as a leader in the emerging field of psychedelic-assisted therapies, potentially affecting the competitive landscape in the mental health treatment industry.
The study is currently recruiting, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
