Single and Repeat Doses of DMT in Healthy Subjects

Prior treatment

• Any current or previously diagnosed clinically significant mental health disorder as classified according to DSM-IV or DSM 5.
• Persistent psychological effects following the previous use of psilocybin, LSD, DMT, ayahuasca, mescaline, ibogaine, 2C-drugs (such as 2CB, 2CI and 2CE) and/or ketamine. Such effects might include but are not limited to anxiety, depressed mood, paranoid ideation and/or hallucinations (including hallucinogen persisting perception disorder - HPPD) or recurrent flash-backs related to use.
• Habitual users of psychedelic drugs (regular use (≥every 2 weeks) over the last 12 months). Psychedelic drugs include, but are not limited to: DMT, ayahausca, LSD, mescaline, peyote, ibogaine and psilocybin (including mushroom species containing psilocybin).
• Disposition judged by the investigator (or delegate) to be incompatible with establishment of rapport with therapy team and/or safe exposure to DMT.
• Evidence of drug abuse on urine testing at screening or admission. Subject has a positive test result(s) for alcohol and/or drugs of abuse (including: opiates (including methadone), cocaine, amphetamines, methamphetamines, cannabinoids, barbiturates, and benzodiazepines) at screening or admission to the clinical unit.
• Loss of more than 400 mL blood during the 3 months before the trial, eg as a blood donor.
• Use of a prescription medicine (except oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy in females) during the 14 days before the first dose of trial medication or use of an over-the-counter medicine (including natural food supplements, vitamins, garlic as a supplement), during the 7 days before the first dose of trial medication, with the exception of occasional use of common analgesics, eg acetaminophen (paracetamol), ibuprofen.
  • Use of MAOIs is prohibited during the 30 days before the first dose of trial medication and during the study.
• Receipt of any COVID-19 vaccination in the 7 days before the study or during the study.
• Receipt of an investigational product (including prescription medicines) as part of another clinical trial within the 3 months before \[first\] admission to this study and/or prior enrolment in this study; in the follow-up period of another clinical trial at the time of screening for this study. Participation in observational registry studies is permitted.

Other illness

• History of chronic or frequent migraines.
• Blood pressure and heart rate in supine position at the screening examination outside the ranges: blood pressure 90-140 mm Hg systolic, 40-90 mm Hg diastolic; heart rate 40-100 beats/min.
  • Repeat measurements are permitted if values are borderline (ie values that are within 5 mm Hg for blood pressure or 5 beats/min for heart rate) or if requested by the investigator. Subjects can be included if the repeat value is within range or still borderline, but deemed not clinically significant by the investigator.
• Presence or history of a medically diagnosed clinically significant seizure disorder.
• Presence of acute or chronic illness or history of chronic illness sufficient to invalidate the volunteer's participation in the trial or make it unnecessarily hazardous.
• Presence or history of drug or alcohol abuse within 1 year before Screening, or intake of more than 14 units of alcohol weekly.
• First or second-degree relative with schizophrenia spectrum or other psychotic disorders, or bipolar and related disorders as classified according to DSM-IV or DSM 5.
• Positive test for hepatitis B, hepatitis C or HIV.
• Presence or history of severe adverse reaction to any drug or a history of adverse reaction to DMT and/or other serotonergic psychedelic drugs.

Lab values

• Clinically relevant abnormal history, physical findings, ECG (e.g. PQ/PR interval \> 210ms, presence of Left Bundle Branch Block, AV Block (second degree or higher), or laboratory values at the pre-trial screening assessment that could interfere with the objectives of the trial or the safety of the volunteer.
• Impaired endocrine, thyroid, hepatic, respiratory or renal function, diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease or any of the following cardiovascular conditions: arrhythmia, family history of long QT syndrome or sudden death, artificial heart valve, current or any history of hypertension, or any other significant current or history of cardiovascular condition,

Other

• QTcF value at screening of \> 450 msec (men) or \> 470 msec (women) on 12 lead ECG. Triplicate measurements will be made, and a mean QTcF value higher than 450 msec (men) or 470 msec (women) will lead to exclusion. A repeat (in triplicate) is allowed on one occasion for determination of eligibility.
• Woman who is pregnant or lactating, or pre-menopausal woman who is sexually active and not using a reliable method of contraception (see section 11).
• Regular use of nicotine (\>5 cigarettes daily). Significant suicide risk as defined by (1) suicidal ideation as endorsed on items 4 or 5 on the C-SSRS within the past year; (2) suicidal behaviours within the past year; or (3) clinical assessment of significant suicidal risk during participant interview.
• Indication that the volunteer will not cooperate with the requirements of the protocol.
• Difficulty fasting or consuming standard meals.
• Subject drinks, on average, more than 8 cups of tea/coffee/cocoa/cola/caffeinated beverages (e.g., energy drink) per day.
• Vulnerable subjects (e.g., a person kept in detention or a person under guardianship).
• Subject is an employee of the investigator or study site, with direct involvement in the proposed study or other studies under the direction of that investigator or study site, as well as family members of the employees or the investigator.

• Healthy male or female volunteer. Subject must be healthy based on physical examination, medical history, vital signs, and 12-lead ECG. Minor abnormalities in ECG, which are not considered to be of clinical significance by the investigator, are acceptable.
• Subjects must be healthy based on clinical laboratory tests performed at screening. If the results of the serum chemistry panel, hematology, or urinalysis are outside the normal reference ranges, the subject may be included only if the investigator judges the abnormalities to be not clinically significant. This determination must be recorded in the subject's source documents and initialled by the sub investigator.
