Safety and tolerability of inhaled N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (BMND01 candidate): A phase I clinical trial.

European neuropsychopharmacology : the journal of the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology March 1, 2024 Marcelo Falchi-Carvalho, Isabel Wießner, Sérgio Ruschi B Silva et al. 25 citations

Inhaled N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) produces dose-dependent increases in the intensity, positive valence, and perceptual effects of subjective experiences, with only mild, transient, and self-limited increases in blood pressure and heart rate. No changes in safety blood biomarkers or serious adverse events occurred. The acute effects last around 10 minutes, offering a potentially cost- and time-effective alternative to longer-acting oral psychedelics for clinical use in mood disorders. This open-label, single-ascending, fixed-order, dose-response study in 27 healthy volunteers tested five dose pairs (5/20 mg through 15/60 mg) of inhaled DMT (BMND01 candidate).
