What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study tests a 21-day digital program that uses either meditation or music to prepare healthy volunteers for a supervised psilocybin session. Forty people will be randomly assigned to one of the two preparation methods. The main goal is to see if the program is feasible and easy to follow, not to measure health benefits.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Psilocybin (25 mg single dose)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a scalable digital tool to help people prepare for psychedelic therapy, potentially improving safety and outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a very early feasibility study with only 40 healthy volunteers. It is not designed to measure therapeutic effects, and results may not apply to patient populations.
