About the Phase 2 CYB004 Study in GAD
- The CYB004-002 Phase 2 study is a randomized, double-blind study evaluating the safety and efficacy of CYB004 in participants with moderate to severe GAD (GAD-7 score ≥10) and are currently taking concomitant antidepressant or anxiolytic treatments. Participants with co-morbid depression are allowed.
- The study is evaluating safety and efficacy at 12 weeks, with an optional follow-up to assess efficacy at 12 months. The study will remain double-blinded through Week 12.
- The study has enrolled 36 participants, who were randomized into two groups (randomized 2:1).
- The first group received two intramuscular administrations of CYB004 three weeks apart at a dose predicted to be therapeutic (20 mg CYB004), while the second group received two intramuscular administrations of CYB004 three weeks apart at a lower dose predicted to be sub-therapeutic (2 mg CYB004).
- The primary endpoint is a change in the HAM-A (“Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale”) score from baseline at six weeks following the first administration of CYB004.
- Secondary endpoints include change in HAM-A through the double-blind period (Week 12).
- Other endpoints include the HAM-D (Hamilton Depression Rating Scale), safety assessments, MEQ30 (psychedelic experience assessment) and EQ-5D-5L (quality of life assessment).
