Study on the Long-term Effects of Methylone for Treating PTSD in Patients

2 1 1

What is this study about?

This clinical trial is focused on studying Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), a mental health condition that can occur after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. The study will evaluate the long-term effects of a treatment called Methylone, which is being tested in capsule form. Methylone is a chemical substance that is being investigated for its potential to help people with PTSD.

The purpose of the study is to assess how effective and safe Methylone is when used over a long period. Participants will receive either a single or repeated doses of Methylone over the course of the study. The study will last for 52 weeks, during which participants will be monitored to see how their symptoms change and to ensure their safety while taking the medication.

Throughout the study, various assessments will be conducted to measure the impact of Methylone on PTSD symptoms. These assessments will include evaluations of mental health, mood, and overall well-being. The study aims to provide valuable information on whether Methylone can be a beneficial treatment option for individuals living with PTSD.

1 initial assessment

Upon joining the study, an initial assessment is conducted to confirm eligibility. This includes reviewing prior participation in trial number TT-TSND-201 (IMPACT-1).

2 treatment phase

The treatment involves taking a methylone capsule orally. The dosage is 50 mg per capsule.

The treatment is administered over a period of 52 weeks, with both single and repeated treatments evaluated for their long-term effects.

3 monitoring and evaluation

Throughout the trial, various assessments are conducted to monitor progress and safety. These include the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5), PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5), and other scales to measure symptoms and overall well-being.

Secondary assessments include monitoring for adverse events, vital signs, and conducting clinical laboratory tests and electrocardiograms (ECG).

4 completion and follow-up

At the end of the 52-week period, a final evaluation is conducted to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of the treatment.

The trial is estimated to conclude by May 31, 2028.
