Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a phase 1, open-label, 3-cohort study. Participants will be prescreened for interest and eligibility and, after completion of the informed consent form, will complete screening assessments. Psilocin will be administered in the Clinical Research Unit (CRU), and participants will be kept overnight for safety observation and PK sampling. Each of the 3 cohorts will comprise 3 participants who will receive a single TRP-8803 IV infusion in an open-label fashion. At least a 1-day interval will be scheduled for psilocin administration between sequential subjects within a cohort. Participants will remain on site during the single dose IV infusion

Cohort 1: 7.5 mg total psilocin (1.5 mg/20 min + 6 mg/120 min [0.05 mg/min])

Cohort 2: 14 mg total psilocin (3.0 mg/20 min + 11 mg/120 min [0.10 mg/min])

Cohort 3: 20.5 mg total psilocin (4.5 mg/20 min + 16 mg/120 min [0.15 mg/min])

In Cohort 1, participants will receive a total of 7.5 mg psilocin; Cohort 2 will receive a total of 14mg psilocin, and Cohort 3 will receive a total of 20.5mg of psilocin. The initial 20minute loading dose infusion will provide a therapeutic dose of psilocin that will be maintained by infusing either 0.05 mg/minute (min), 0.10 mg/min, or 0.15 mg/min psilocin by IV over 120 minutes.

After each dose in the ascending dose study, the Safety Review Committee (SRC) will perform a PK and safety data review before advancing to the next dose. Dose escalation will stop in the unlikely event that any participant in that dose cohort exhibits an increased risk of harm to self or others, or any other sign that continuing in the study would present undue risks or has an adverse event (AE) related to the intervention such as psychosis or hypertension during the infusion.

Safety will be assessed by measuring incidence of AEs and SAEs and physical examination, vital signs, ECG, clinical laboratory, suicidality findings, and Persistent Effects Questionnaire. PK will be measured at designated times predose to 24 hours postdose.
