The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn if MDMA-assisted therapy is safe and effective in people with PTSD.
The main question it aims to answer is: Do two open-label sessions of MDMA-assisted therapy reduce PTSD symptoms?
Participants will undergo three non-drug preparatory therapy sessions followed by two open-label MDMA-assisted therapy sessions. After, participants will undergo three non-drug integrative therapy sessions.
This Phase 2, open-label study will provide supportive data on the safety and effectiveness of MDMA-assisted therapy in participants with PTSD. This study will be conducted at a single study site in Vancouver, BC. There will be at least 2 co-therapy pairs. The study will enroll up to 20 participants.
The Preparatory Period will consist of three 90-minute non-drug preparatory therapy sessions. A flexible divided dose of MDMA will be administered during the Treatment Period with manualized therapy in up to two open-label experimental sessions. During the Treatment Period, each experimental session is followed by three 90-minute non-drug integrative therapy sessions. The experimental sessions are scheduled roughly 3 to 5 weeks apart.

| Change from Baseline in PTSD Checklist (adapted PCL-5) total score | 20-item self-report questionnaire in which respondents indicate the presence and severity of PTSD symptoms, derived from the symptoms of PTSD per DSM-5. The gold standard for diagnosing PTSD is a structured clinical interview such as the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS-5). When necessary, the PCL-5 can be scored to provide a provisional PTSD diagnosis.The self-report rating scale is 0-4 for each symptom, reflecting a change from 1-5 in the DSM-IV version. Rating scale descriptors are the same: "Not at all," "A little bit," Moderately," "Quite a bit," and "Extremely." | 18 weeks post baseline post enrollment confirmation |
