A \u201cbreakthrough therapy\u201d is a designation the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2024\/02\/13\/psychedelic-to-receive-fast-track-review-as-possible-ptsd-drug\/\" target=\"_blank\">U.S. Food and Drug Administration<\/a> gives to drugs used to treat serious conditions, with initial studies showing \u201csubstantial improvement\u201d over available medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are truly grateful to our congressional champions, who\u2019ve worked hand-in-hand with us to get federal skin in the game for MDMA-AT research,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2023\/11\/08\/psychedelics-may-soon-be-available-sort-of-to-treat-vets-with-ptsd\/\" target=\"_blank\">Juliana Mercer<\/a>, a Marine Corps veteran and veteran advocacy director for the group Healing Breakthrough, said in a statement. \u201cWe\u2019re witnessing the federal government take unprecedented action to bring healing to our hurting veterans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Politico <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/newsletters\/future-pulse\" target=\"_blank\">first reported<\/a> on the psychedelic therapy provision, which was introduced by Psychedelic Advancing Therapies Caucus co-chairs Reps. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/newsletters\/2023\/12\/15\/first-ever-provision-for-psychedelic-studies-included-in-defense-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jack Bergman<\/a> (R-Mich.) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2023\/11\/08\/psychedelics-may-soon-be-available-sort-of-to-treat-vets-with-ptsd\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lou Correa<\/a> (D-Calif.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are currently eight psychedelic therapy trials taking place across the country through the VA, Mercer said, but all of those studies are philanthropically funded. Mercer previously told Military Times that a lack of federal funds <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2023\/11\/08\/psychedelics-may-soon-be-available-sort-of-to-treat-vets-with-ptsd\/\" target=\"_blank\">hinders efforts to get such therapies in the hands of veterans<\/a> who need them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The passage of the amendment comes at a time when various agencies within the federal government are expanding research into the medicinal properties of psychedelics. Lawmakers in December passed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/newsletters\/2023\/12\/15\/first-ever-provision-for-psychedelic-studies-included-in-defense-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\">the first-ever provision allowing the Defense Department<\/a> to fund federal or state studies of the effects of psychedelic therapies. Select service members who have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder or traumatic brain injury may be eligible to receive a waiver from Defense Sec. Lloyd Austin to allow them to take part in the studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The FDA last month also announced that a joint approach of talk therapy and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2023\/11\/08\/psychedelics-may-soon-be-available-sort-of-to-treat-vets-with-ptsd\/\" target=\"_blank\">midomafetamine, or MDMA<\/a>, would receive a fast-track review of six months, instead of the normal 10 months, given the potential of the therapy. The FDA provided a target date of Aug. 11 to conclude its evaluation and decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Results from studies on MDMA and other psychedelics have proven promising. The FDA designated MDMA as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2018\/05\/09\/psychedelic-drug-provides-relief-for-veterans-with-ptsd\/\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cbreakthrough therapy\u201d<\/a> for treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder in 2017. In 2019, psilocybin to treat anxiety and depression received that designation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A second multi-site, phase III trial by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2023\/11\/08\/psychedelics-may-soon-be-available-sort-of-to-treat-vets-with-ptsd\/\" target=\"_blank\">Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies<\/a> found that more than 86% of participants who received the MDMA-assisted therapy experienced \u201cclinically meaningful\u201d improvement in their symptoms 18 weeks after starting the trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Greater than 71% of participants who were administered MDMA-assisted therapy also no longer met the diagnostic criteria for PTSD at the end of the study, compared to little more than 46% of participants given the placebo plus therapy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are currently eight psychedelic therapy
