Testing COMP 360 Drug in Adults with Treatment-Resistant Depression

(IRB#: IRB_00159931)

Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is when a person receives help for depression such as therapy with a physiatrist and taking an anti-depression drug, but depression keeps coming back. The study wants to investigate the efficacy and safety of COMP 360 for treatment resistant depression. People in this study will be randomly chosen for COMP 360 doses: 1mg, 10mg, and 25mg. The drug is taken as a swallowed pill. Being in the study requires participation for 55 to 62 weeks. Participants will attend clinic visits in person at a University of Utah Treatment-Resistant Mood Disorders clinic. Medical tests will be done during the study to track the health of participants.
