Following President Donald Trump's executive order in the spring, the FDA is looking for input on how to best design early-stage trials of ibogaine, according to a new RFI posted this week. Advocates of this particular psychedelic had the ear of the president ahead of that order in April, namely podcaster Joe Rogan, but the pipeline of actual ibogaine products is relatively thin. Retreats abroad have attracted patients looking to treat PTSD and addictions, among other conditions. The FDA is now seeking public comment "on protocol elements relevant to ibogaine development," including dose
selection, safety monitoring and eligibility for trials. |
