- The open-label Phase 2a study investigated the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a single 10mg dose of BPL-003 alongside psychological support in patients with moderate-to-severe TRD who were not taking concomitant antidepressants.
- Patients were followed for 12 weeks post-dosing, with assessments conducted at multiple points throughout the study.
- Initial analysis showed that a single dose of BPL-003 induced a rapid antidepressant response2 in 55% of patients on the day after dosing.
- The positive data from the Phase 2a study is highly encouraging as we await the results of the larger Phase 2b study anticipated later this year.
