Read moreAugust 7, 2024Beckley Psytech announces initial results from Phase I study and first patients dosed in Phase IIa study of ELE-101 (IV psilocin benzoate) for Major Depressive DisorderThe Phase IIa trial is an open-label study investigating ELE-101 as a potential new treatment for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), commonly known as depression. The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, subjective effects and efficacy of a single intravenous dose of ELE-101 in patients with depression. The dose for the study was selected using preliminary pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) data from Beckley Psytech’s Phase I double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised study of ELE-101 in healthy participants. That data showed that ELE-101 was well-tolerated with a dose-proportional pharmacokinetic profile and reliable induction of high-intensity, short-duration psychedelic experiences.Read moreAugust 7, 2024Beckley Psytech and PsyPAN launch Participant Impact Report and Peer Support Pilot ProgramBeckley Psytech and PsyPAN have published a new Impact Report which shares novel insights from psychedelic clinical trial participants. The report highlights the desire for post-trial support and introduces a peer support pilot program for participants. Beckley Psytech has given PsyPAN an unrestricted grant to initiate the 12-month pilot program aimed at supporting trial participants in the UK.Read moreAugust 7, 2024First participant dosed in research study investigating the effects of BPL-003, a novel formulation of 5-MeO-DMT, on the human brainThe study is the first of its kind to assess the effects of 5-MeO-DMT in the human brain and will investigate the neurophysiological effects of BPL-003, Beckley Psytech’s novel synthetic intranasal formulation of the psychedelic 5-MeO-DMT. In the study, healthy volunteers will be given both placebo and a 12 mg dose of BPL-003 on separate study visits over a period of 1 month while undergoing a high-density electroencephalogram (HD-EEG) scan to measure the electrical activity in the brain in order to better understand how 5-MeO-DMT elicits its profound consciousness-altering effects. The trial is being overseen by Dr. Christopher Timmermann and Dr David Errtizoe from the Centre for Psychedelic Research at Imperial College London and is funded through a research grant from Beckley Psytech. Initial results are expected in 2026.
