A Phase 1 Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Multiple Doses of MLS101 (Psilocybin) in Healthy Participants

MLS101 is being developed as a low dose psilocybin, that can be administered to treat neurological and psychiatric conditions. The purpose of this clinical trial is to assess how safe and tolerated MLS101 is; to see how MLS101 is distributed and cleared by the body (pharmacokinetics); and to assess the psychedelic effects of MLS101 in healthy, adult participants. In recent years, high-dose psilocybin has gained attention for it potential therapeutic benefit in many psychiatric conditions, however existing clinical data for low psilocybin doses are limited. Microdoses are generally considered to be those absent of profound sensory and cognitive effects that would interfere with normal everyday functioning, but only a small number of prospective studies have evaluated microdoses and/or low doses in a controlled manner. As a foundational study of the therapeutic use of psilocybin microdoses, this study will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and sensorial effects using a prospective, controlled, multiple dose regimen in healthy volunteers.
