US advances first government-funded trials of psychedelic drug ibogaine
October 5, 2026 - Reuters

Summary

  • FDA seeks public feedback on trial design and safety oversight by November 20
  • HHS-backed studies will examine opioid addiction and PTSD
  • Heart risks remain ​the key hurdle to broader use - expert


Oct 5 (Reuters) - US health officials are advancing the first government-funded clinical trials of the psychedelic drug ibogaine to treat opioid addiction and ​post-traumatic stress disorder, the FDA said on Monday, as it sought ​public feedback on safety rules for the studies.

The initiative ⁠follows an April executive order by President Donald Trump, dedicating $50 million ​to the federal ibogaine research, as well as recent calls by experts and ​veterans for strict safety standards on psychedelic treatments.

The Food and Drug Administration said it has opened a public docket seeking feedback on trial design, dose selection, patient ​eligibility, safety monitoring, study-stopping rules and oversight by November 20.

"This is ​the most important regulatory signal ibogaine has received in decades," said Tom Feegel, CEO ‌of ⁠Beond, a Mexico-based ibogaine treatment provider.

The Department of Health and Human Services is funding early-stage trials of ibogaine through the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health and the National Institute on Drug Abuse, a federal ​notice showed.

The FDA ​has previously warned ⁠that the drug carries severe health risks, including life-threatening irregular heart rhythms and potential brain toxicity.
Ibogaine, a ​compound found in the roots of the African shrub iboga, ​is classified ⁠as an illegal Schedule I controlled substance under US law.

"Cardiac safety is not a footnote ... it is the central challenge researchers have to solve ⁠before ​this treatment can responsibly reach the people ​who need it," said Betty Aldworth, co-executive director of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies.

Cardiac issues were already solved using high dose magnesium. There was a MAPS presentation on it a few years ago?
