  • Participants of childbearing potential (POCBP) who have a partner capable of producing sperm must agree to continue to use a highly effective method of contraception (i.e., failure rate of less than 1% when used consistently and correctly) in combination with the use of a condom plus spermicide (where publicly available) during the trial and for 12 weeks after their final dose of IP
  • Female participants must have a negative pregnancy test at Baseline (the end of trial [EOT] Visit in the APPROACH or EMBRACE trial), and prior to dose administration on the dosing day

Exclusion criteria

  • newly developed symptoms of schizophrenia spectrum or other psychotic disorders that manifested in the APPROACH or EMBRACE trial
  • Significant suicide risk as defined by suicidal ideation as endorsed on items 4 or 5 on the C-SSRS at Baseline OR has experienced an adverse event (AE) of suicide ideation/attempt or self-harm in CYB003-002 APPROACH OR has had a >1 point change in item 1 or 2 of the C-SSRS from Screening in CYB003-002 APPROACH
  • Clinically relevant arrhythmia or vital sign changes noted during any of the dosing sessions in the APPROACH or EMBRACE trial
  • Presence of clinically significant ECG abnormalities noted during the APPROACH or EMBRACE trials or at the Baseline of EXTEND
  • Sensitivity or suspected sensitivity to CYB003 noted in the APPROACH or EMBRACE trial

Treatment and study plan

CYB003

Drug

CYB003 is a deuterated psilocin analog

Primary outcomes

  1. Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS)

    Time frame: Baseline, Day 28, Day 56, Day 84, Day 112, Day 140, Day 168, Day 196, Day 244, Day 252, Day 280, Day 301; additional assessments at Day -15, Day -1, Day 2, Day 10, Day 17, Day 21, Day 23, Day 31, Day 42 if non-response or relapse criteria met

    The MADRS is a 10-item scale with ratings based on a clinical interview which moves from broadly phrased questions about symptoms to more detailed ones allowing a precise rating of severity. The scale consists of ten items rated on a scale from 0 to 6, resulting in a total score ranging from 0 (normal / symptom absent) to 60 (severe depression).
