Novamind Hosts Clinical Trial to Advance Ketamine Therapy for End-of-Life Patients

We are pleased to announce we have been selected by the Ketamine Research Foundation (KRF) to host a phase II clinical trial investigating ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) for adults with life-threatening illness (Conscious Dying/Conscious Living Trial).

“This study is an important addition to the clinical care and research opportunities for patients within the Psychedelic Palliative Care program that we are building at Novamind,” said Dr. Paul Thielking, Chief Scientific Officer and Principal Investigator at Novamind’s Murray research site. “I’ve worked with this population for most of my career and, unfortunately, I’ve sometimes felt limited in what I can offer my patients to ease their emotional distress. The findings will contribute to the evidence for using KAP with patients who have a life-threatening illness and offer new insights into alternative treatments.”

Clinical Study of Psychedelic Drugs for Cancer Patients Could Be a ‘Game Changer’

The Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City, Utah is investigating group psilocybin therapy as a treatment for anxiety and depression in cancer patients. Dr. Paul Thielking, who serves as the study’s lead therapist, explains that even just one dose of psilocybin could entirely shift the patient’s perspective on their illness and situation. Even more remarkable? The effects of those experiences seem to last—in some case, more than four years.

 

Can Microdosing Psychedelics Boost Mental Health? Here’s What the Evidence Suggests

Microdosing. Does it work? Amidst increased buzz around the benefits of the practice, research continues to tackle this difficult question.
