Summary

This Phase 2 study tested four different doses of MM120 (a form of LSD) against a placebo in 198 people with generalized anxiety disorder. The goal was to see which dose best reduces anxiety symptoms over 4 to 8 weeks. Participants took a single dose and were monitored for safety and effectiveness.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
MM120 (LSD D-Tartrate)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for generalized anxiety disorder using a controlled dose of LSD.
What could go wrong
This is an early Phase 2 study with only 198 participants. The results may not apply to everyone, and LSD can cause intense psychological effects and risks like anxiety or confusion during the session.
