The results from the world’s biggest psilocybin trial are in!

COMPASS Pathways’ (CMPS) stock dropped nearly 30% after announcing mixed study findings and Q3 financial results on Monday.

The company conducted a trial on 233 patients to determine the best psilocybin dose for treatment-resistant depression (TRD).

All three groups showed improvements the day after receiving the dose. The group with the largest dose had the best results, with 36.7% of patients showing at least a 50% decrease in depression scores and 29.1% in remission at week 3. A quarter of the patients showed sustained improvements until week 12.

Unfortunately, 12 patients experienced serious adverse events such as suicidal ideation or self harm, but these behaviours are common in patients with TRD.

The company is preparing for a larger trial beginning next year.

COMPASS also announced that it lost $15.8 million or $0.38 per share in Q3, an improvement compared to its $1.30 loss per share in Q3 of last year.

Here’s a graph that shows the impact on levels of depression reported by trial patients: 👇🏽

Why ketamine is so effective at preventing suicide

Researchers have known for years that ketamine can reduce depression symptoms and suicidal ideation in as little as 24 hours, but a recent study helps us understand why it’s so beneficial.

The study showed that a single dose of ketamine rapidly improved cognitive function, problem-solving abilities, and distorted thinking in suicidal patients.

“Being able to think more clearly can make someone feel less suicidal,” explains Ravi. N. Shah, MD, one of the researchers.

Ketamine was more effective than Midazolam, a benzodiazepine used as a sedative for surgeries. After the dose, suicidal ideation was diminished for up to 6 weeks.

Treating alcoholism and depression with half the dose

Cybin (CYBN) announced that its psilocybin formulation for depression and alcoholism, CYB003, could be more effective than oral psilocybin.

The company conducted preclinical testing on multiple species of animals. Researchers found that CYB003 has nearly double the brain penetration compared to oral psilocybin, resulting in a 50% reduction in dosage, variability, and onset time.

A smaller dosage has potential to reduce negative side effects such as nausea. The formulation could lead to shorter sessions which would make treatment more affordable!

inspirational banner

Can weed make your trip better?

A bit of weed could make your trip more spiritual and less scary.

A survey of 321 people suggests that using cannabis while on psychedelics increases the odds of mystical experiences, ego deaths, and intense visuals. 

The data also showed that low doses of cannabis reduced the chances of bad trip, whereas high doses increased feelings of fear and insanity.

Healing veterans with DMT

In honour of Veteran’s Day, we’re sharing how a Special Ops veteran cured his chronic pain and PTSD with DMT.

Asher Gibson was diagnosed with PTSD and traumatic brain injury after countless combats across the world. Prescription medications began to dominate his life, so he turned to psychedelic healing.

After smoking DMT, the powerful compound found in ayahuasca, Asher was blasted out of his body and traveled through different dimensions to the beginning of time.

“I remember my whole head being ecstatic and numb, like the most wonderful electrical massage on my brain. The feeling moved down my neck and shoulders and eventually filled my entire body.”

After the trip, Asher’s debilitating neck and shoulder pain was almost non-existent and his mental state subsided to manageable levels. He is no longer dependent on prescription drugs.

“While DMT isn’t the magic button that fixes everything, I believe it’s a powerful guide to help you do the work yourself,” he explains.

To bring this kind of relief to other veterans, consider supporting the Heroic Hearts Project – a non-profit organization that provides ayahuasca retreats for veterans with combat experience or military sexual trauma.

Insurance coverage for ketamine therapy

A major hurdle of making psychedelic therapy accessible to all will be getting the treatment covered by insurance.

That’s why we’re excited to share that Novamind (NM) has secured coverage for ketamine treatments from four major health insurance providers: Blue Cross Blue Shield, the University of Utah, PEHP Health & Benefits and MBA Benefit Administrators!

The company’s Chief Medical Officer says that this a promising signal that insurance providers are interested in more effective mental health treatments as research emerges.

Novamind has also opened a call center dedicated to insurance verification to ensure that patients are approved and reimbursed as quickly as possible.

To keep up with the growing demand for psychedelic research, the DEA is yet again increasing the legal production quotas for certain Schedule I substances.

The original proposal for psilocybin was just 50 grams, which increased to 1,500 grams in September. The final quota is now 6,000 grams – a total increase of 11,900%!

Production of both MDMA and DMT increased 6,300% from 50 grams to 3,200 grams.

Commenting on the alliance, Mr. Brock Clancy, SRx Vice President of Patient Services and Operations, said, “Recognizing a crucial need for increased support and innovation in mental health treatments, our team has been actively assessing the rapid growth of the market and determining how best to enter this treatment segment. NeonMind’s strategy in this area is unique and compelling, with their initial focus on utilizing already established treatments such as ketamine, esketamine and neurostimulation, while adding additional treatment modalities as they are approved, including psychedelics. Bringing in a partner like NeonMind aligns with our own experiences on how best to deliver specialty treatments while leveraging our existing capabilities and infrastructure. I am excited by this opportunity to work collaboratively with NeonMind to build out and evolve the treatment infrastructure available for interventional psychiatry and psychedelics.”

Psychedelic music studio changes your attachment style: issue 22

Here’s what’s in store for you in today’s issue:

🍄 Psychedelic music studio receives $4.5M in funding

🍄 How your attachment style affects your trip

🍄 First-ever study with direct psilocin

🍄 A new helmet to understand the brain

🍄 And more.

Be sure to check out last week’s Daily Mushroom podcast:

The DMT Cure for Chronic Pain and PTSD

Kieran, a retired black ops vet who magically cured his neck pain with a wild DMT trip. Kieran talks about being in a constant stress state while serving and how psychedelics help him cope with ongoing PTSD.

Therapeutic banner

First-ever study with direct psilocin

When psilocybin is consumed, it’s metabolized into psilocin, which is the compound that produces most (or all) of the psychedelic effects.

Will the experience change if psilocin is administered directly?

Filament Health (FH) just received FDA-approval for a first-of-its kind study that will reveal the answer.

The phase I trial at the University of California San Francisco will compare the effects of psilocybin and psilocin in 20 healthy patients. Psilocybin will be administered orally, whereas psilocin will be administered both orally and sublingually, meaning it will be absorbed through tissues under the tongue.

Researchers predict that direct psilocin could result in faster onset times, greater consistency and bioavailability — with fewer side effects.

A faster treatment for depressed moms

Existing treatments for post-partum depression take up to 8 weeks and often separate the mother from her baby for long periods of time, creating even more stress.

Field Trip Health (FTRP) is developing a proprietary psychedelic to change this.

The formulation, FT-104, could be administered in just one day and lasts 2-3 hours shorter than pure psilocybin. The compound leaves the mother’s system in just 24 hours, allowing her to safely breastfeed again.

FT-104 is currently in preclinical evaluation with phase I trials expected to begin in Q1 of next year.

atai accelerates schizophrenia research after promising findings

atai Life Sciences (ATAI) developed a new compound that could help treat cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia.

The compound, RL-007, was tested on a cohort of 8 schizophrenic patients while continuing with their antipsychotic treatments. Using brain mapping and other biomarkers, researchers found that formulation improved cognition by activating receptors linked to learning and memory. 

The findings were so promising that atai decided to spend additional resources to accelerate the compound into a Phase 2a trial, which should be completed by the end of the year.

Ending the PTSD crisis

The lack of effective PTSD treatments is “a crisis,” according to the PTSD Psychopharmacology Working Group. About one in 20 people in the UK suffer from PTSD, and current treatment options are ineffective for 40% of patients.

COMPASS Pathways (CMPS) is launching a phase II trial to see if its psilocybin therapy model for treatment-resistant depression can bring relief to patients with PTSD.

The trial will assess 20 patients who experienced trauma as adults. They will be given a single dose of the psilocybin formulation followed by 12 weeks of therapy protocols.

Researchers will measure the safety of the drug as well as improvements in PTSD symptoms, functionality, and quality of life.

Psychedelic music studio receives $4.5M in funding

When patients have a positive response to music during psychedelic therapy, they’re more likely to have a mystical experience which can lead to a more effective treatment.

That’s why neuroscientist Dr. Mendel Kaelen co-founded Wavepaths – a music studio that uses AI to create customized music—on the fly—in response to a patient’s emotional state!

The implications of Wavepaths go far beyond psychedelic therapy: hospitals, birth clinics, hospice centers, and schools are showing interest in the technology. It is already being used in 30+ countries and over 5,000 practitioners await its public release.

How your attachment style affects your trip

If you’ve ever struggled with attachment anxiety in your relationships, there’s promising evidence that psilocybin could be an effective treatment:

After undergoing individual therapy, group therapy, and a single psilocybin session, a group of 18 male AIDS survivors showed significantly reduced scores for attachment anxiety – an attachment style characterized by clinginess, fear of abandonment, and difficulty trusting others.

There were no significant changes in attachment avoidance, which is characterized by repressing emotions and discomfort with close relationships.

However, high attachment anxiety scores were associated with a greater chance of mystical experiences, whereas high attachment avoidance scores were linked to grief, fear, physical distress, and paranoia during the trip.

What better way to feel more secure in your relationships than through a trip? 🤩

Old Town Road to success

Lil Nas X was honoured as a visionary at the Wall Street Journal’s Innovator Awards after releasing his latest album, ‘Montero.’ Were magic mushrooms the secret behind his success?

The artist says that his first-ever mushroom trip was a pivotal moment while recording the album. The experience helped him reflect on himself and break free from feelings of self-consciousness.

“I was able to open up a lot. I was able to write actual stories about my life and put it into my music. I actually did that for the first time,” Nas explained.

A new helmet to understand the brain

The LA-based company Kernel developed a brain-imaging helmet that can track what actually happens in the brain during a psychedelic trip.

The device, Kernel Flow, was just approved by the FDA to be used in a ketamine trial sponsored by Cybin (CYBN).

Researchers will use the helmet to measure the neurological activity of 15 patients during a ketamine therapy session compared to baseline activity.

Kernel Flow is much less expensive than other brain-imaging tools and allows the patients to move freely during the session.

Trip at home with a psychedelic patch

PharmaTher (PHRM) and Revive Therapeutics (RVV) are entering into a research agreement to develop psychedelic patches that could be used at home!

The biodegradable patches will use microneedles to deliver both micro and macrodoses of psilocybin, ketamine, MDMA, LSD, DMT, ibogaine, and mescaline.

PharmaTher is currently studying the effects of the psilocybin microdose patch, with results expected by the end of this month.

The companies aim to create a delivery method that’s safe and convenient enough for patients to administer on their own, without supervision.

Creating a myriad of drugs with AI

Using an AI drug discovery program, Mydecine (MYCO) successfully added a novel psilocin analogue with improved delivery and stability to its pipeline.

The AI technology synthesizes billions of drug candidates and filters them based on psychedelic-related targets such as how they bind to receptors.

Mydecine also filed a patent for nanoemulsion technology. Nanoemulsion can:

  • help the company develop compounds inspired by traditional plant medicines such as reishi and cordyceps mushrooms
  • improve control in delivery, which is critical in microdosing and customizing dosages
  • advance development of over-the-counter consumer products
