Magic Mushroom-Derived drug enters final trial for depression

NCT ID NCT06793397

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This Phase 3 study tests whether CYB003, a psilocin analog (related to the active ingredient in magic mushrooms), can safely reduce depression symptoms in 330 adults with major depressive disorder. Participants receive either one of two doses of CYB003 or a placebo, along with psychological support. The main goal is to see if the drug improves depression scores over time.
