In the @COMPASSPathway trial the 25mg vs 1mg (=placebo) #Psilocybin difference is not only significant statistically, but also clinically. On the MADRS the 'minimal important difference' is ~3-6 points (tinyurl.com/5apzv8h8), the 25mg dose meets this criteria (more context 👇)
The 'minimal important difference' sounds like a low bar to cross, but actually most #antidepressants fail to do so relative to #placebo, tinyurl.com/yut6xyhd - thank you @PloederlM for your work on this, would love to hear your take on this trial!
Lack of blinding remains an issue, but the dose-response relationship should alleviate this concern. As I argued before, #psychedelics macrodose trials most likely will always lack blinding due to obvious drug effects, it is the nature of the intervention.
Given the seemingly impressive effect size, i was surprised by the low remission/response rates (context: tinyurl.com/3n6p4cae)
