简要总结
This phase I trial evaluates the side effects of psilocybin and how well it works under supportive care conditions in cancer survivors living with demoralization and chronic pain. Cancer patients often experience demoralization, which is characterized by feelings of hopelessness, loss of meaning, and existential distress. Psilocybin psychotherapy, together with multidisciplinary palliative and supportive care, may help treat the anxiety, depression, and chronic pain felt by cancer survivors - defined here as cancer patients from time of diagnosis through the end-of-life.
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the safety, feasibility, and acceptability of a single administration of 25 mg psilocybin (psilocybin) provided under supportive conditions with multidisciplinary palliative care support (P-PC) in adult cancer survivors living with concurrent demoralization and chronic pain.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate for changes in demoralization, anxiety, depression, quality of life, pain, other symptoms, mysticism, awe, post-traumatic growth, social isolation, and psychosocial functioning from baseline to end-of-treatment to 3.5-month follow up.

Subjects using any other antidepressant, stimulant, or antipsychotic medications on Day 0 (baseline visit) may be allowed to enroll in the study if they elect to taper off the medications under medical supervision by the PI and the study psycho-oncologist (PO) by the day prior to the baseline visit
- •Considered by the principal investigator to be inappropriate for the study due to safety concerns or to be unlikely to complete the protocol

结局指标
主要结局
Evaluation of Feasibility Outcome To Assess Patient Retention in The Study
时间窗: Up to 42 days
Feasibility will be assessed by patient retention in the study, number of missed events, a survey assessing acceptability of the protocol at study endpoint, and fidelity to the intervention elements. A successful outcome is retention of 80% of subjects enrolled in the study, 80% of events attended by subjects, and 60% of subjects find intervention satisfactory.
Incidence Of Treatment-Related Medical Grade 3 Or Higher Or Psychiatric Grade 4 Or Higher
时间窗: Up to 42 days
Adverse events are graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. Descriptive statistics will summarize the incidence and duration of adverse events, with the primary outcome of interest being the incidence of medical Grade 3 or higher or psychiatric Grade 4 or higher Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events considered by the PI to be treatment-related occurring by day 42. These events will be evaluated by adverse events, vital signs, ECG, and laboratory findings. A successful outcome is no medical or psychiatric Grade 4 adverse events or higher.
