Evaluating the efficacy of psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy for treatment-resistant depression

This study is exploring psychotherapy or therapy for people with depression. Participants may complete study visits, assessments, or follow-up activities defined by the research team. Direct benefit is not guaranteed. The detailed objective is not always clearly listed in the public registry; the study team can confirm.

This appears to be a behavioral / psychological / psychosocial study. Phase 2 studies usually explore whether the intervention may work, while continuing to monitor safety.

This study may concern people with depression; age range: From 18 Years to 80 Years. The criteria appear strict, but you should not assume you are eligible. The study team must confirm diagnosis, age, exclusions, available locations, and next steps.

The public registry appears to mention a loved one, caregiver, or family involvement. Ask whether that person must participate, provide information, attend visits, or simply be available if needed. The study team must confirm what is required.

Behavioral studies can involve habits, emotions, motivation, stress, sleep, or ways of thinking. Ask whether the intervention could affect your mood or stress, and who to contact if you feel worse. For any mental health study, also ask who to contact if you feel worse, whether participation may affect current treatment, whether you can stop, and who confirms eligibility.

The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask which sites are open, how many visits are expected, whether any steps can be done remotely, and whether travel costs or compensation are listed.

This study is sponsored by The Australian National University, which appears to be a university. The listed contact or investigator is Jillian Bethwaite. If available, it can be useful to check the sponsor website, collaborators, investigator affiliation, and the official registry before deciding. HopeStage does not judge the quality of a sponsor or researcher, but helps you identify what to verify.

The public registry lists this study as recruiting. Individual sites may have different statuses. The research team must confirm whether a site is open and whether you meet the criteria.
