A Milestone That Reflects Our Commitment to Advancing Mental Health Research

We are proud to announce another important milestone for Ascend Clinical Research in the advancement of innovative treatments for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).

🏆 1st site in the United Kingdom
🏆 1st site in Europe
🏆 3rd site worldwide

to successfully randomize a participant into the crossover/open-label extension phase of a Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating an investigational psychedelic compound for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).

This achievement reflects the dedication of our multidisciplinary research team, our participants, and our Sponsor partner, all of whom share a commitment to advancing mental health research while upholding the highest standards of participant safety, scientific integrity, and clinical excellence.

Fulfilling our commitment to repositioning the UK as a global powerhouse in commercial clinical research delivery.

This milestone was made possible through:
• Efficient participant engagement and streamlined screening pathways
• Flexible scheduling, including weekend appointments, to improve participant accessibility
• Timely data management and rapid query resolution
• Strong collaboration and operational excellence with our Sponsor

The transition into the crossover/open-label extension phase represents an important step in the continued evaluation of the investigational therapy, enabling the collection of additional long-term safety and efficacy data while providing eligible participants with continued access to the study treatment.

Every milestone in clinical research represents more than operational excellence—it brings us one step closer to expanding treatment options for people living with Major Depressive Disorder.

We are honoured to contribute to the advancement of mental health research and remain committed to delivering high-quality clinical trials that make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients and their families.

Thank you to our dedicated research team, our participants, and our valued partners for making this achievement possible.
