Blinding integrity in psychedelic research: Evidence from a comparative randomized controlled trial of psilocybin, MDMA, and methylphenidate in healthy volunteers

This double-blind randomised controlled trial (n=120) in healthy volunteers assessed how well blinding held when people received psilocybin, MDMA, or methylphenidate as an active placebo, and found blinding was generally insufficient. Functional unblinding was highest for psilocybin, moderate for MDMA, and lowest for methylphenidate.

Long-term treatment with esketamine nasal spray in patients with treatment resistant depression: Results from the ESCAPE-LTE study

This Phase IV single-arm long-term extension trial (n=183) found that the vast majority of patients with treatment-resistant depression who achieved remission with esketamine nasal spray (plus an antidepressant) did not relapse over 136 weeks of treatment, with side effects largely resolving the same day and no new safety concerns identified.

Psychedelics: The pathway to implementation in the European healthcare systems

This review (2025) examines the challenges of integrating psychedelic therapies into European healthcare systems, highlighting that beyond obtaining regulatory approval, these treatments must also pass health technology assessments in individual countries, a process complicated by the lack of studies comparing psychedelics to existing treatments and the difficulty of evaluating therapies that combine drugs with psychotherapy.

The effects of psilocybin therapy versus escitalopram on cognitive bias: A secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial

This secondary analysis of an RCT comparing psilocybin therapy to escitalopram in MDD patients (n=59) found that psilocybin produced superior improvements in cognitive biases. Psilocybin significantly increased self-reported optimism (d=1.1) and optimistic beliefs about desirable life events (d=1.1), while improving all three domains of dysfunctional attitudes (achievement, dependency, and self-control). Escitalopram showed more modest effects, reducing pessimism about negative events and improving only the achievement domain of dysfunctional attitudes.

Safety, tolerability and subjective effects of vaporized N,N-Dimethyltryptamine: A randomized double-blind clinical trial

This first RCT (n=25) of vaporised DMT (60mg) demonstrated that DMT significantly increased subjective experience measures while causing only transient, safe physiological changes and predominantly mild adverse events. This suggests that inhaled DMT is safe, well-tolerated, and effective at inducing profound altered states of consciousness. Significant correlations were observed between physiological responses and subjective experiences.

Do classic psychedelics increase the risk of seizures? A scoping review

This scoping review (s=27) assesses the relationship between classic psychedelics and seizures. It finds that psychedelics may not increase seizure risk in healthy individuals or animals without other drugs, but concomitant use of substances like kambo or lithium could heighten the risk.
