Psychedelic drug development is experiencing intense and renewed interest from the pharmaceutical industry, and the potential for these therapies to target areas of urgent unmet need. Opportunities exist for prepared sponsors to take advantage of expedited approval pathways and reach the market ahead of the competition.
