    Depression that fails after two or more antidepressant treatments is called treatment refractory depression (TRD)


    Psilocybin (psilocybin) is a hallucinogenic active ingredient derived from poisonous mushrooms.


    In this trial, 233 patients with refractory depression received three doses of COMP360 at random, accompanied by psychological support provided by professional therapists


    The results of the test showed that at the third week, the 25 mg group had a lower MADRS depression scale score than the 1 mg group by 6.
