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.

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 psilocin analog)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for people with major depression who haven't responded well to standard antidepressants.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 3 trial, but results are not yet known. The drug may not work better than placebo, and side effects (including psychological effects) are possible.
