Study Summary

The overall objective of this study is to pilot the VASDHS-adapted Emory MDMA-PE Protocol (aE-MDMA-PE) and assess the effect on clinician-rated PTSD symptoms in veterans who receive different doses of MDMA.

Primary Outcome

The Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5) is a 20-item diagnostic interview administered by trained evaluators to assess PTSD in a participant. Based on DSM-5 diagnostic criteria, evaluators ask about the severity of four PTSD-related symptom clusters: re-experiencing, avoidance, negative alterations in cognition and mood, and alterations in arousal and reactivity. The evaluator rates responses on a 5-point Likert scale (0 = Absent to 4 = Extreme/Incapacitating). Total scores rang
