NCT ID NCT06303739
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) combined with talk therapy can help people with depression that hasn't improved with standard treatments. Twenty adults will receive one or two doses and be followed for a year to see if their symptoms get better and how long any improvement lasts. The goal is to ease depression symptoms, not to cure the condition.
