The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has finalized its guidance for industry on conducting clinical investigations of psychedelic drugs, a pivotal move that provides a regulatory framework for research in this rapidly evolving field. This guidance is essential for companies and researchers navigating the development process for psychedelic-assisted therapies.
