Summary

This trial is testing whether MM120 (LSD) can help people with generalized anxiety disorder. The study examines the effects of MM120 on generalized anxiety disorder. LSD affects the brain's serotonin system, potentially altering mood and anxiety. LSD was investigated for MDD, anxiety, and severe somatic disorders.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with Generalized Anxiety Disorder who are in good health and have a BMI between 18 and 38 mg/kg2. It excludes those with certain psychiatric disorders or family history of them, pregnant or breastfeeding women, men unwilling to use contraception, anyone at significant suicide risk or taking prohibited medications.
What is being tested?
MM120 is a study drug that acts on serotonin in your brain. Researchers believe that MM120 could have possible benefits that may improve your general anxiety symptoms.
What are the potential side effects?
MM120 is at a research stage, so it may have side effects that are not known at this time. As with any investigational new drug, there is a risk that unexpected adverse effects may occur. Almost all drugs, both old and new, can cause severe reactions. The possible mild to moderate side effects you may experience when receiving treatment with MM120 at 100 μg may include and typically resolve by end of session or within 24 hours of dosing: illusion (changes in how you see, hear, or feel things present around you), nausea, euphoric mood, headache, visual hallucination (seeing things that are not present), anxiety, excessive sweating by anxiety (anxiety hyperhidrosis), dilated pupils (Mydriasis), increased blood pressure, abnormal thinking, fatigue, and feeling unstable on your feet.
