A Study of a Deuterated Psilocin Analog (CYB003) in Humans With Major Depressive Disorder

Exclusion Criteria * Participants with any of the following characteristics/conditions will be excluded from trial participation: * Current or previously diagnosed schizophrenia spectrum or other psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, schizotypal disorder, schizophreniform disorder, brief psychotic disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, current or previous history of bipolar disorder, or current borderline personality disorder. * Participants with a medical diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) will be excluded if currently taking medication for ADHD. * Family history of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or bipolar disorder type 1 (first-degree relatives). * Significant suicide risk within 12 months of Screening. * Current or previous diagnosis of treatment-resistant MDD, defined as failure to respond to 2 or more antidepressant treatments of 2 different classes given at an adequate dose (label specified) for an adequate duration as judged by the Investigator and clinical interview. * Has had electroconvulsive treatment, transcranial magnetic stimulation, deep brain stimulation, or vagal nerve stimulation for any episode of MDD in the last 6 months. * Currently receiving a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, tricyclic antidepressants, mirtazapine, trazodone, moclobemide, buspirone, or an antipsychotic or mood stabilizer. Note: if receiving these medications are for another indication, they must be discontinued ≥ 14 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to Day 1. * Participant report of (or if available in medical record) exposure to psilocin, or 5-HT2a receptor agonists, or any other psychedelics, such as ayahuasca, mescaline, lysergic acid diethylamide, peyote, or 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, more than 10 times over the participant's lifetime or any psychedelic use within 12 months prior to Screening. * Participant report of (or if available in medical record) treatment with ketamine or S-ketamine use within 6 months prior to Screening. * Clinically relevant history of abnormal physical health interfering with the trial (including but not limited to, neurological, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal \[including dyspepsia or gastroesophageal reflux disease\], hepatic, or renal disorder). * Has hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, unless controlled on appropriate medication. * Current diagnosis of uncontrolled hypertension or an arrhythmia, or clinically relevant abnormal results for heart rate. * Participants have a presence or relevant history of organic brain disorders. * Participant is taking or has taken OTC doses of 5 hydroxytryptophan or St John's Wort within prior to trial medication administration. * Strenuous exercise prior to each clinic visit. * Donation of blood or plasma within 4 weeks prior to first dosing and until 4 weeks after final dosing. * Participants capable of producing sperm who will not abstain from sperm donation between first dosing and 12 weeks after final dosing. * Participants of childbearing potential who are pregnant, breastfeeding, planning to conceive or unwilling to abstain from egg (ova) donation between first dosing and 12 weeks after final dosing. * History of serotonin syndrome. * Unwilling to consent to audio and video recording of psychological support and dosing sessions.
