Back in end-January, we reported on Small Pharma’s positive results for its Phase 2a trial using DMT-assisted therapy to treat Major Depressive Disorder. 3 months after a single dose of DMT — paired with preparation and integration therapy — 57% of depression patients were considered to be in remission.
These were very encouraging results, backing up the thesis that faster-acting psychedelics like DMT could provide significant healing potential in a much shorter period.
Today, both patients and investors received additional good news, as Small Pharma has reported supportive data to corroborate its initial Phase 2 trial topline results.
Analyses of additional secondary and exploratory endpoints, including effects on self-reported depression, anxiety and wellbeing, demonstrated that patients receiving at least a single dose of IV SPL026 with supportive therapy experienced clinically relevant improvements in function and mood, further supporting previously announced topline efficacy results.
Patients’ self-reported depression and well-being scores that matched previous topline MADRS efficacy data. There was also statistically significant improvement in anxiety symptoms, which could offer potential new indications for the medicine beyond depression.
