5-Methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT) for alcohol use disorder: An open-label, phase 2, proof-of-concept, clinical trial. (PubMed, Addiction) - "A first phase 2a clinical trial of 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (BPL-003 10 mg) in the context of a 10-week programme of CBT demonstrated acceptable safety and tolerability and provided preliminary evidence of efficacy for reducing alcohol craving and consumption. These findings support progression to larger, controlled trials of BPL-003 for the treatment of alcohol use disorder."

Mapping the phenomenology of intranasal 5-MeO-DMT in psychedelic-naïve healthy adults. (PubMed, Sci Rep) - "5-MeO-DMT has a distinctive profile of subjective effects relative to published reports of other psychedelics, with a short duration of action, relative lack of visual effects, strong emotional or bodily experiences and the potential to elicit therapeutically relevant content, such as emotional breakthroughs and personal insights. These findings inform therapeutic applications, participant preparation, and future research on 5-MeO-DMT."

The efficacy of intranasal BPL-003 (5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine) on anhedonia in patients with treatment resistant depression: a phase 2a open label study (ECNP 2025) - P2 | "The mean number of failed antidepressants in the current episode was 3.2 (range of 2-5), with citalopram and sertraline the most frequently failed antidepressants. The observed improvements in functional outcomes, as measured by the SDS further underscore the potential impact of BPL-003 beyond symptom reduction. The convergence of symptom and functional improvement in this study suggests that BPL-003 may exert therapeutic effects that are rapid, sustained and multidimensional."

Blinding in psychedelic studies: comparison of placebo and sub-perceptual dose of intranasal 5-Methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine in healthy volunteers (ECNP 2024) - "This was confirmed by the SDI Results , where 80% of subjects receiving 0.3mg of BPL-003 thought they had a possible effect. Based on these Results 0.3mg of BPL-003 is well suited to be used as a sub-perceptual dose (i.e. active placebo) in future clinical trials."
