Dose-finding Study for the Combination of DMT and Harmine in Healthy Subjects

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare corresponding inter- and intraindividual pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles including assessments of safety \& tolerability.

Participants will undergo a series of six study days with varying doses of DMT and Harmine. The intervention is embedded in controlled environment and continuous psychological support. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic assessments are obtained over the course of 24 hours on each study visit to estimate dose-exposure relationship and drug-drug-interaction. Additionally, the occurrence of adverse events will be closely monitored throughout the whole study.
