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.
