Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP): A randomised, double-dummy, triple-blind, active placebo-controlled, parallel groups trial of LSD microdosing in patients with major depressive disorder (LSDDEP2)

Open MIND November 17, 2025 Dimitri Daldegan-Bueno, Suresh Muthukumaraswamy, Alana Cavadino

The analyses described in this SAP will assess the efficacy and safety of LSD (MB-22001) in comparison with active placebo (caffeine). The analysis described cover those for the primary, secondary and safety endpoints described in the Protocol.

LSDDEP2: study protocol for a randomised, double-dummy, triple-blind, active placebo-controlled, parallel groups trial of LSD microdosing in patients with major depressive disorder.

Trials August 24, 2024 Dimitri Daldegan-Bueno, Carina Joy Donegan, Anna Forsyth et al. 14 citations

Major depressive disorder (MDD) poses a significant global health burden with available treatments limited by inconsistent efficacy and notable side effects. Classic psychedelics, including lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), have garnered attention for their potential in treating psychiatric disorders. Microdosing, the repeated consumption of sub-hallucinogenic doses of psychedelics, has emerged...

PAM trial protocol: a randomised feasibility study of psychedelic microdosing-assisted meaning-centred psychotherapy in advanced stage cancer patients.

Pilot and Feasibility Studies February 12, 2024 Alesha Wells, A P Suresh Muthukumaraswamy, Eva Morunga et al. 10 citations

An advanced cancer diagnosis can be associated with a significant profile of distress. Psychedelic compounds have shown clinically significant effects in the treatment of psychological distress in patients with advanced-stage cancer. Given the challenges of delivering timely and effective intervention in the advanced cancer context, it is possible that an alternative, more pragmatic, approach...

An open-label pilot trial assessing tolerability and feasibility of LSD microdosing in patients with major depressive disorder (LSDDEP1).

Pilot and Feasibility Studies October 5, 2023 Carina Joy Donegan, Dimitri Daldegan-Bueno, Rachael Sumner et al. 23 citations

Globally, an estimated 260 million people suffer from depression [1], and there is a clear need for the development of new, alternative antidepressant therapies. In light of problems with the tolerability and efficacy of available treatments [2], a global trend is emerging for patients to self-treat depression with microdoses of psychedelic drugs such as lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and...

Acute Mood-Elevating Properties of Microdosed Lysergic Acid Diethylamide in Healthy Volunteers: A Home-Administered Randomized Controlled Trial.

Biological Psychiatry September 15, 2023 Robin J Murphy, Rachael Sumner, William Evans et al. 69 citations

Microdosing psychedelic drugs is a widespread social phenomenon with diverse benefits claimed for mood and cognition. Randomized controlled trials have failed to support these claims, but the laboratory-based dosing in trials conducted to date may have limited ecological validity. Healthy male volunteers were randomized into lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) (n = 40) and placebo (n = 40) groups...
