Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if MDMA-assisted therapy is safe and effective at reducing PTSD symptoms in people with PTSD who received placebo in a prior MDMA-assisted therapy study.

The main question it aims to answer is:

Do PTSD symptoms decrease in people who receive a flexible dose of MDMA (120 or 180 mg MDMA HCl) with therapy in three sessions?

Participants will undergo three preparatory therapy sessions without any study drug, then three MDMA-assisted therapy sessions with a flexible dose of 80 or 120 mg, followed by three integrative therapy sessions without study drug after each MDMA-assisted therapy session.
