I spoke with @NPR's @WStoneReports on FDA's denial of Lykos' #MDMA. Despite understandable disappointment, we can be optimistic about the future of #psychedelic research for Lykos and other firms. FDA, NIH & NIDA have opened there minds to #psychedelics. npr.org/sections/shots-healt…

I wrote about the FDA advisory committee meeting on Lykos MDMA-AT. #FDA is expected to respond by August 11. In this @JAMA_current piece, I discuss the committee's votes and what they mean for future #psychedelic research with #psilocybin, #LSD, #MDMA. ja.ma/4doKWoE

As the meeting adjourns, it's clear the FDA's #psychedelic advisory committee almost universally opposes #FDA approval of Lykos #MDMA-AT, even with REMS. I applaud all parties for a very open meeting with deep discussion that seemingly left no issue unexamined.

The #FDA advisory committee meeting on #MDMA #psychedelic therapy has taken a turn. While addressing the first discussion question (below), the committee's comments have been overwhelmingly critical of data presented by Lykos, mirroring opinions of @icer_review.
