Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of two administrations of COMP360 in participants with treatment-resistant depression (TRD)

Full description

This is a phase III, international, multi-centre, randomised, parallel group, fixed repeat dose, double-blind, controlled study. The study population will include participants aged ≥18 years with TRD.

Overall, 568 participants are to be randomised in a 2:1:1 ratio to receive COMP360 25 mg, 10 mg or 1 mg.

The study will last up to 16 weeks including a three- to ten-week Screening Period and six-week follow-up from investigational product (IP) administration.
