The impact of psychedelics on patients with alcohol use disorder: a systematic review with meta-analysis

This systematic review and meta-analysis (s=6; 2023) assessed the role of psychedelics in treating alcoholism (AUD). LSD and any psychedelic therapy showed enhanced odds of achieving abstinence or reducing alcohol consumption in randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials. However, the study highlights methodological weaknesses in the literature. It suggests that while promising, definitive statements about the value of psychedelics in treating AUD are precluded, emphasizing the need for future trials with greater rigour.

Access and real-world use patterns of esketamine nasal spray among patients with treatment-resistant depression covered by private or public insurance

This retrospective analysis (n=535) describes the access and real-world use patterns of esketamine nasal spray among adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Of the pharmacy claims for esketamine, 34.6% were approved, 46.3% were rejected, and 19.1% were abandoned. The approval rate increased to 85.2% by the second treatment session. Among 273 patients who initiated esketamine (mean age 49.3 years; 66.3% female), the mean number of sessions was 11.8 over a mean of 11.8 months, with 47.6% completing at least 8 sessions, and 93.8% of those completing induction continuing treatment.
