In a U.S. Phase 2 trial, the 48 mg dose produced 15.18% mean weight loss at 36 weeks, compared with 16.93% for an open-label tirzepatide arm.

Why it matters: The result extends an unusually clean early efficacy signal for TG4050, which is designed to prevent cancer from returning after surgery and standard adjuvant treatment. But the study is small and was primarily designed to assess safety, leaving a larger ongoing Phase 2 trial to determine whether the apparent benefit holds up.

Psilocybin Prevents Chemotherapy-Related Peripheral Neuropathy in Mice

Peripheral neuropathy is a common side effect of chemotherapy, resulting in symptoms that can include numbness, painful nerve injury and sensitivity. A study by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has now found that in mouse models, as few as two doses of psilocybin given before chemotherapy durably prevented chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) through multiple treatment cycles, while preserving both nerve function and tumor-killing effects of therapy.
