Co-administration of Psilocybin and MDMA in healthy individuals
Résumé de l'étude
The study investigates the altered state of consciousness induced by the combined administration of the substances Psilocybin and MDMA compared to the sole administration of Psilocybin. Psilocybin is classified as a so-called 'classic' hallucinogen, acting on a specific serotonin receptor (5-HT2A receptor), while MDMA is referred to as an entactogen and releases both serotonin and oxytocin. Both substances are not approved as medications but have been used in various studies with healthy subjects and patients. A potential therapeutic effect of Psilocybin and MDMA is not investigated in this study. In the context of the study, you will receive 1 x Psilocybin (20 mg), 1 x MDMA (100 mg), 1 x Psilocybin (20 mg) + MDMA (100 mg), and 1 x Placebo with an interval of at least 10 days. The order of substance administration is randomly determined. Each morning of the study, an intravenous catheter will be placed in the elbow. You will be connected to this venous catheter throughout the day. Measurements during the substance effects (including blood draws, blood pressure, pulse, and questionnaires) will occur in the first half of the day every 30 minutes and in the second half of the day every 60 minutes. You will spend the entire day in a quiet room equipped with a bed at the outpatient study center of the University Hospital of Basel. The experience can be intensified by slightly darkening the room and listening to music. You will be continuously monitored throughout the study day.
