Conditions

Coma and other disorders of consciousness due to acute traumatic and non-traumatic brain injury

Brief summary

Co-primary outcomes 1: Number of patients with improved consciousness within 3-6h after a single dose of oral psilocybin with/without apomorphine vs. placebo (as measured by a composite score of either FOUR score ≥2 and/or SECONDs ≥1, Co-primary outcome 2: Number of patients with improved consciousness levels within 3-6h after oral psilocybin/apomorphine vs. psilocy-bin/placebo

Detailed description

Pupillary function (pupillometry, including spontaneous pupillary function and during a mental arithmetic paradigm), Neurovascular coupling (NIRS-EEG, including spontaneous cortical activity and activation during a tongue motor imagery paradigm) at days 1 and 7, Clinical outcome at day 90 (GOS-E), Days alive outside the ICU, Serious adverse reactions (SARs), Serious adverse events
