Pilot and Feasibility Studies October 28, 2025 Candice Richardson, Cindy Chan, Emily Macgregor et al. 1 citation
A new therapy combining psilocybin with evidence-based psychotherapies for people with advanced cancer, called PEARL therapy, will be tested in an open-label trial with 15 participants. The study will assess whether the therapy is acceptable, feasible, and safe by tracking recruitment, retention, adherence, and serious adverse events, and by collecting self-report questionnaires and qualitative interviews. This research aims to inform policy, training, and clinical guidelines for psychedelic-assisted therapies, which may improve quality of life for those with advanced disease.
