The gurus of the psychedelic era of American pop culture extolled the experience of the"acid trip." But the U.S. government and much of the public remained leery of LSD, with President Richard Nixon declaring it and assorted other drugs"public enemy No. 1."
The proprietary"pharmaceutically optimized" form of LSD is named MM-120 and owned by MindMed, a small psychedelic biotechnology company based in New York. MindMed's study could be a significant step in the long process of potentially bringing a new treatment for generalized anxiety disorder to the market. The study spans 20 clinics nationwide, including Segal Trials.
Patients who receive doses will be monitored in a room designed to feel more like home than a sterilized clinic. The first patient in Miami Lakes, Kakar said, reclined on a couch while under the influence of the drug—headset, eye mask and blanket provided. Two guides with experience overseeing psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy monitored the patient for the entire duration of its psychoactive effects, which Kakar estimated to be about 12 hours.
Those studies and breakthroughs ran largely dry following the ban. But studies like MindMed's are sparking renewed interest in LSD, and a broad umbrella of possible psychedelic treatments. Clinics offering Ketamine, a psychoactive sedative, already exist across the county. Psilocybin has also gained medical traction; Segal Trials conducted its own trials of Psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy for treatment of depression at its Miami Lakes center last summer.
Robert Barrow, CEO of MindMed, has touted the potential in company press releases, pointing to one recent research paper from a partner in the MM-120 study.
