Robert Barrow, CEO of Definium Therapeutics, discussed the company's progress in developing DT-120, an orally dissolving tablet form of LSD for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and major depressive disorder (MDD), across several public appearances in August and September 2026. He announced positive topline results from two Phase 3 trials in GAD—Voyage and Panorama—which he described as showing rapid and statistically significant improvements over placebo on the HAM-A scale at week 12, with effect sizes of 0.81 and a p-value of less than 0.00001 in Voyage, and a 5.1-point placebo-adjusted improvement in Panorama. Barrow also referenced positive results from the Emerge trial in MDD, and stated that the company plans to file a New Drug Application (NDA) following a pre-NDA meeting. In panel discussions and investor calls, Barrow characterized the current standard of care for anxiety and depression as reliant on SSRIs, which he said are often ineffective and carry side effects such as emotional blunting. He noted that no new drug has been approved for GAD since 2007, despite a dozen late-stage programs failing over that period, and argued that DT-120's mechanism and efficacy profile could support a change in how payers and prescribers approach treatment sequencing. He also discussed regulatory alignment with the FDA on study design, and expressed optimism about the potential for drug approvals in the field within the next year, while emphasizing the company's commitment to addressing unmet patient need.
