Clinical Trial Summary

This study measures the safety and efficacy of repeated low dose MM-120 as treatment for ADHD in adults: a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled

Description:

This study is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2a study of low dose MM-120 (20 μg) compared with a placebo administered for 6 weeks (twice a week on a 3/4-day schedule). Low dose MM-120 (20 μg) is about 20% of the dose typically consumed for recreational psychedelic purposes. There will be a 1:1 randomization, double-blind, to MM-120 or placebo with the aim to reach 26 evaluable patients in each of the 2 arms at Week 6.
