Same mechanism, same race: design-graded trial evidence for both assets, with the grading rationale shown. Grades describe the quality of the evidence, never the merits of either security.

The study randomly assigned 81 participants and used quadruple blinding with a placebo comparator. Its primary endpoint was the change in MADRS depression scores from baseline to Day 7. 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.

Reliable signal

NCT05624268 · Phase 3 · completed

This was a randomized, quadruple-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 258 participants, using change in a standard clinician-rated depression scale as the primary measure. The sponsor reports a statistically significant difference favoring COMP360 over placebo at week 6.

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.
