About this study

Official title: A Phase 2a Safety and Feasibility Study Evaluating Psilocybin (TRP-8802) Administration in Concert With Psychotherapy in the Treatment of Binge Eating Disorder

To better understand the potential benefits of psychedelics in overeating disorders, Tryp Therapeutics will conduct a safety and feasibility clinical trial using TRP 8802 among individuals with Binge Eating Disorder. This is a single-center phase 2a open-label study to assess the safety and feasibility of a single dose of TRP 8802 in subjects with BED. Subjects will undergo screening, preparation therapy sessions, dosing, integration therapy sessions, and follow-up for 12 weeks following the dose of TRP 8802. The total participation in the study will be up to approximately 5 months.

Read the detailed description

Binge eating disorder is the most common eating disorder and is associated with obesity and psychiatric comorbidities, including depression, and impulsive and compulsive disorders. Binge eating disorder is marked by severe disturbance to a person's control over their eating behaviors and high anxiety around food. Various programs using psilocybin paired with psychotherapy have shown positive effects in treating a variety of psychiatric and behavioral conditions, including cancer-related psychiatric distress, anxiety, treatment-resistant depression, and nicotine and alcohol addiction. Based on clinical precedents, relevant neuropharmacology, and mechanistic similarities, psilocybin is theorized to have the potential to be part of the treatment of overeating disorders. TRP-8802 could accomplish this by moderating overall anxiety, anxiety around food, perseveration, and repetitive and intrusive thoughts about food in people with BED.

The primary objective of this study is to:

  1. Assess the safety of a single dose of TRP 8802 in participants with binge eating disorder (BED) during the TRP 8802 dosing session, and through 12 weeks following dosing (i.e., Week 14).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • TRYP-0082Drug

    Also called Psilocybin

    A single (1) 25 mg oral dose of TRP 8802 will be administered in a carefully monitored setting following 6 to 8 hours of preparatory psychotherapy. Subjects will be in the study for 12 weeks following the dose of TRP 8802 (until Week 14), approximately 5 months from initiation of screening through the last follow-up.

  • PsychotherapyBehavioural

    A single (1) 25 mg oral dose of TRP 8802 will be administered in a carefully monitored setting following 6 to 8 hours of preparatory psychotherapy. Subjects will be in the study for 12 weeks following the dose of TRP 8802 (until Week 14), approximately 5 months from initiation of screening through the last follow-up.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Assess the safety of a single dose of TRP 8802 in participants with BED during the TRP 8802 dosing session, and through 12 weeks following dosing

    Safety assessments will be conducted to monitor AEs, including SAEs, protocol specific safety laboratory assessments, protocol specific vital signs and other tests/questionnaires that are deemed crucial to the safety evaluation of the study. Planned timing for all safety assessments is provided in the SOA.

    Measured: 12 weeks following dosing

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Evaluate the feasibility of inducing the psychedelic state with TRP 8802 in a BED population.

    Magnitude and duration of TRP 8802-induced dissociative effects in participants with BED using the MEQ30 and MRS

    Measured: 12 weeks following dosing

  2. Determine the preliminary clinical activity and the effects of TRP 8802 in conjunction with psychotherapy on the frequency of binge eating episodes in a BED population through 4 weeks following dosing (i.e., Week 6)

    Frequency of binge eating episodes as measured by a modified Eating Questionnaire

    Measured: 6 Weeks

  3. Determine the preliminary clinical activity and the effects of TRP 8802 in conjunction with psychotherapy on weight-related indicators in a BED population through 4 weeks following dosing (i.e., Week 6)

    Waist Circumference and BMI

    Measured: 6 Weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing TRYP-0082 and Psychotherapy in people with Binge Eating Disorder, run by TRYP Therapeutics at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Assess the safety of a single dose of TRP 8802 in participants with BED during the TRP 8802 dosing session, and through 12 weeks following dosing (time frame: 12 weeks following dosing). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Nov 2024.
