BPL-003 (mebufotenin benzoate)
Developed by Eli Lilly and partners
NCT05870540 · Phase 2 · completed
The core study randomized 196 participants and used a masked design with an active-placebo comparator; its primary endpoint was the clinical depression measure MADRS. Registry results were not posted at the time of grading; the key result shown was recovered from the cited external source.
Caveat: this result is taken from a company announcement or a news report of one, not from the trial registry or a peer-reviewed publication. Treat the figures as the sponsor's own statement, not as independently verified evidence.
