This open-label, crossover study (n=14) assesses the effects of SPL026, administered intramuscularly (IM) and intravenously (IV), in healthy participants with varying degrees of psychedelic experience.
Part A involves psychedelic-experienced participants receiving both IM and IV doses, while Part B includes less experienced or psychedelic-naive participants receiving only IM doses. The trial aims to evaluate safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic parameters of SPL026.
Primary outcomes include lab biochemistry, incidence of adverse events, vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, temperature), ECG readings, physical exams, and suicidal ideation. Secondary outcomes involve evaluating plasma levels of DMT and assessing mystical and challenging experiences using questionnaires.
The study, conducted by Small Pharma Ltd., commenced in January 2023 and concluded in April 2023. Recruitment took place at Hammersmith Medicines Research in London, UK.
