Phase 1b Study in Patients With Short-Lasting Unilateral Neuralgiform Headache Attacks (SUNHA)

October 10, 2022 updated by: Beckley Psytech Limited

An Exploratory Open-Label, Phase 1b, Ascending Dose Study to Evaluate the Effects of Oral 3-[2-(Dimethylamino)Ethyl]-1h-indol-4-yl Dihydrogen Phosphate (Psilocybin, BPL-PSILO) on Cognition in Patients With Chronic Short-Lasting Unilateral Neuralgiform Headache Attacks (SUNHA)

This exploratory open-label phase 1b, ascending dose study is to evaluate the effects of psilocybin on cognition in patients with Chronic Short-Lasting Unilateral Neuralgiform Headache Attacks (SUNHA)
