From Clinical Evidence to Compassionate Use: Psilocybin Therapy for Treatment-Resistant Depression in Germany

This talk presents key findings from the largest academically initiated clinical trial of psilocybin to date, involving 144 patients with treatment-resistant depression. It explores how the study led to the European Union’s first compassionate use programme for a psychedelic, approved in Germany in 2025, and discusses the challenges and early experiences of translating clinical evidence into real-world practice.
