Inclusion criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Meet DSM-5 criteria for current PTSD resulting from a trauma experienced during adulthood measured via the PCL-5 in combination with the LEC-5 at screening * Meet DSM-5 criteria for current PTSD resulting from a trauma experienced during adulthood as assessed by the CAPS, with a minimum score of 25 at baseline * Able to identify a next of kin who is willing and able to be reached by the investigators in case of emergency * Have successfully discontinued all prohibited medications at least two weeks prior to baseline visit. For fluoxetine (Prozac), immediate cessation at screening period visit 1a followed by at least four weeks of run-in will be required prior to baseline Key

Exclusion criteria

* Current or past history of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder or any other form of psychotic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, personality disorders, bipolar disorder, or any other significant disorder as assessed by clinician judgement and a structured clinical interview (MINI 7.0.2) * Diagnosis of complex PTSD according to clinician judgement * Borderline Personality Disorder as demonstrated by both the McLean Screening Instrument for Borderline Personality Disorder (MSI- BPD) score ≥ 7 and clinical confirmation of diagnosis by the study clinician and Medical Monitor * Significant suicide risk as defined by (1) suicidal ideation as endorsed on items 4 or 5 on the C-SSRS within the past year, during screening or at baseline, or; (2) suicidal behaviours within the past year, or; (3) history of serious suicide attempt that required a rescuing medical intervention, or; (4) clinical assessment of significant suicidal risk during participant interview * Current (within the last year) alcohol or substance use disorder as informed by DSM-5 assessed via the MINI 7.0.2 at screening * Other personal circumstances and behaviour judged to be incompatible with establishment of rapport or safe exposure to psilocybin * Exposure to 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), psilocybin, or any other psychedelics, such as ayahuasca, mescaline, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), or peyote in the past year * Primary diagnosis of major depressive disorder within 6 months of study entry * Exposure to a traumatic experience in the past 3 months * Significant childhood physical or sexual abuse based on clinician judgment with the use of CTQ * Enrolment in a psychological therapy programme that will not remain stable for the duration of the study. Psychological therapies cannot have been initiated within 21 days of baseline

Design outcomes

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Any Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)Up to 12 weeksA TEAE is defined as an adverse event (AE) that has an onset on or after the dose of study drug, or any pre-existing AE condition that has worsened on or after the dose of study drug.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5) Total Severity Score From BaselineWeek 12CAPS-5 is a 30 item scale, each item is scored from 0-4, total severity score is calculated by taking the sum of the individual item scores (range: 0-80). Higher scores denote greater symptom severity.

Higher scores denote greater symptom severity. A participant is defined as a responder if they have a greater than or equal to 15 point improvement on the CAPS-5 total severity score compared to Baseline.
Proportion of Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale From DSM-5 (CAPS-5) Remitters.Week 12CAPS-5 is a 30 item scale, each item is scored from 0-4, total severity score is calculated by taking the sum of the individual item scores (range: 0-80). Higher scores denote greater symptom severity. A participant is defined as remitter at any post-baseline timepoint if their CAPS-5 total severity score is less than or equal to 20.
Change in Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) Total Score From BaselineWeek 12SDS is a 5 item scale. The total score is calculated by summing the 3 domains (work/school, social life, and family life - each domain has a 0-10 range). The total score has a range from 0 to 30, with 0 representing no impairment and 30 representing severe impairment.
