Magic mushroom compound tested for Cancer-Related depression
NCT ID NCT05947383
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether up to two doses of psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) can safely reduce depression in adults who have both cancer and major depressive disorder. About 56 participants will receive either psilocybin or a placebo in a first session, and those who don't improve can receive psilocybin in a second open-label session. The goal is to see if this approach eases depressive symptoms better than a placebo.
