NCT ID NCT06605105

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is a long-term follow-up for people with major depressive disorder who already completed a previous trial with CYB003, a drug similar to psilocybin. It will test how safe and effective CYB003 is over time, with optional extra doses. About 468 participants will be monitored using a standard depression rating scale.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

CYB003 (a deuterated psilocin analog, similar to the active compound in magic mushrooms)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a new, long-term treatment option for people with major depressive disorder that may reduce symptoms with fewer doses than current antidepressants.

What could go wrong

This is an extension study, so participants already responded well in earlier trials. It is not a standalone test, and long-term side effects or loss of effectiveness are still possible. The drug is investigational and not yet approved.
