Study update summary
17 Feb, 2026Unmet need and study background
Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) affects over 4 million U.S. adults annually, with high patient burden, chronicity, and increased risk of suicide and economic impact.
Only two medicines are approved for TRD, with limited use, highlighting a significant unmet need.
Study design and participant characteristics
Two pivotal Phase 3 trials (COMP005 and COMP006) evaluated COMP360 in TRD, enrolling over 1,000 participants with rigorous criteria for prior treatment failure and symptom severity.
COMP005 used a single 25 mg dose vs placebo; COMP006 used two fixed 25 mg doses vs 10 mg and 1 mg, with three study parts up to 52 weeks.
Baseline demographics and depression history were consistent with known TRD epidemiology.
Key study results and clinical insights
Both Phase 3 trials met primary endpoints, showing highly statistically significant and clinically meaningful reductions in MADRS scores at Week 6 for COMP360 25 mg versus control arms.
Rapid onset of action was observed from the day after dosing, with durable effects lasting up to 26 weeks for responders.
In COMP005, 25% achieved a clinically meaningful MADRS reduction at Week 6, sustained through 26 weeks; in COMP006, this figure was 39% with two fixed doses.
Over 40% of COMP005 partial responders remitted after a second dose.
COMP360 is the first classic psychedelic to consistently achieve such results in TRD, with a highly differentiated efficacy profile compared to existing options.
