On June 1, 2011, MAPS’ clinical research team completed their quality inspection of the database for our Swiss study of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD. The database has been closed and locked (with a 0.04% error rate, far below the 0.5% required to pass), officially concluding the data collection phase of the study. With the final data set ready, the research team can now begin analyzing the data and assisting the investigator in preparing a manuscript to be published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. The article will be co-authored by Clinical Investigator Peter Oehen, M.D., and Ulrich Schneider, M.D., former president of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies. The locked database will also be used for our final report to the US FDA.
