About the Project

This open-label, multi-site, randomized, non-inferiority study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of group vs. individual MDMA-assisted therapy in PTSD patients diagnosed following the events on October 7, 2023.

The study aims to assess a group MDMA-assisted therapy protocol, assessing its safety, tolerability, and effectiveness compared to individualized MDMA-assisted therapy — an approach that could increase accessibility if found to be safe and effective.
