1. MDMA FOR PTSD STUDY, VETERANS OF WAR (US). THESE EXPENSES ARE FOR TREATING VETERANS OF WAR WHO HAVE CHRONIC, TREATMENT-RESISTANT PTSD. THERE IS A GROWING PUBLIC CONCERN OVER VETERANS RETURNING FROM IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN WITH SERIOUS AND UNTREATED PTSD. IN THIS STUDY, WE WILL ATTEMPT TO HEAL SOME OF THE TRAUMA OF WAR WITH MDMA-ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY. WE WILL ALSO SEEK TO ENROLL SEVERAL VETERANS WITH PTSD FROM VIETNAM, TO INVESTIGATE WHETHER WE CAN HELP PEOPLE WITH EXTREMELY LONG-LASTING PTSD. THIS PROTOCOL IS DESIGNED TO TEST WHETHER WAR-RELATED PTSD NEEDS TO BE TREATED SIMILARLY OR DIFFERENTLY THAN PTSD FROM CHILDHOOD SEXUAL ABUSE AND ADULT RAPE AND ASSAULT. WE'RE ALSO TESTING A THREE-ARM DESIGN WITH GROUPS RECEIVING EITHER LOW, MEDIUM OR FULL DOSE MDMA, IN AN EFFORT TO ACHIEVE A SUCCESSFUL DOUBLE-BLIND. |

THESE COSTS INCLUDE FLIGHT AND LODGING FOR THESE PRESENTERS. THE INTERNATIONAL TRANSPERSONAL ASSOCIATION IS ONE OF OUR KEY ALLIES, AND IT WAS MEANINGFUL FOR US TO BE ALLOWED TO PRESENT ABOUT PSYCHEDELIC RESEARCH IN RUSSIA, WHERE FOR MANY YEARS MAPS SPONSORED THE RESEARCH IN ST. PETERSBURG OF DR. EVGENY KRUPITSKY, WHO INVESTIGATED KETAMINE-ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY FOR ALCOHOLISM AND OPIATE ADDICTION. UNFORTUNATELY, KETAMINE RESEARCH HAS NOT BEEN PERMITTED IN RUSSIA FOR ABOUT THE LAST DECADE, AFTER KETAMINE BECAME A RECREATIONAL DRUG IN RUSSIA AND ALL RESEARCH WAS FORBIDDEN. WE HAVE NOT BEEN ALLOWED TO DISTRIBUTE OUR BOOKS IN RUSSIA DUE TO GOVERNMENT RESTRICTIONS ON PROMOTING ILLEGAL DRUGS. WHILE THE CONFERENCE AND OUR PRESENTATIONS WERE WELL RECEIVED, WE LEARNED THAT THE PROHIBITION ON PSYCHEDELIC RESEARCH IN RUSSIA IS STILL IN PLACE AND NOT LIKELY TO BE REVERSED ANY TIME SOON. |

31. MDMA FOR PTSD STUDY, LONG-TERM FOLLOW-UP EXTENSION (US) - ONE OF THE LEAST EXPENSIVE AND HIGHEST IMPACT STUDIES THAT WE ARE CONDUCTING IS A LONG-TERM FOLLOW-UP OF SUBJECTS WHO WERE IN OUR FLAGSHIP MDMA STUDY IN CHARLESTON. THIS STUDY HAS COMPLETED DATA COLLECTION, AND RESULTS ARE CURRENTLY BEING PREPARED FOR PUBLICATION. WE HAVE FOUND THAT THE RESULTS WERE SUSTAINED OVER THE STUDY PERIOD (AVERAGE OF 3.5 YEARS WITH A RANGE OF 15-63 MONTHS), AND THAT MOST SUBJECTS STILL DO NOT MEET THE CRITERIA FOR HAVING PTSD. THESE RESULTS ARE EVEN MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE RESULTS OF THE INITIAL STUDY, WITH OUTCOME MEASURES TAKEN TWO MONTHS AFTER THE LAST MDMA TREATMENT SESSION. NOW THAT WE HAVE EVIDENCE SHOWING THAT THERAPEUTIC GAINS CAN LAST OVER TIME, IT'S ALL THE MORE IMPORTANT TO CONTINUE OUR RESEARCH EFFORTS. |

DR. VOLLENWEIDER EVALUATED ALL 12 SUBJECTS FROM THE STUDY BEFORE AND AFTER MDMA/PTSD TREATMENT. THE EVALUATIONS CONSISTED OF EEGS, STARTLE-REFLEX TESTS AND HEART-RATE VARIABILITY, THE RESULTS OF WHICH ARE RELATED TO THE SEVERITY OF PTSD. THE ANALYSIS IS ALMOST COMPLETE AND A PAPER IS BEING WRITTEN FOR PUBLICATION. THE PHYSIOLOGICAL STUDY COST MORE THAN $5,000; DR. VOLLENWEIDER RAISED THE REST OF THE FUNDS ELSEWHERE. |

PSYCHIATRIST INGRID PACEY, M.D. AND PSYCHOLOGIST ANDREW FELDMAR, M.A. WILL ACT AS CO-THERAPISTS ON THIS STUDY. A CANADIAN INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW BOARD HAS APPROVED THE STUDY, AS HAS HEALTH CANADA. DURING THIS FISCAL YEAR WE HAVE WORKED TO OBTAIN PERMITS FOR IMPORTING THE MDMA FROM SWITZERLAND INTO CANADA, WHICH HAS PROVEN TO BE A FRUSTRATING PROCESS WITH MUCH DELAY. SINCE CANADA AND THE U.S. SHARE A COMMON CULTURE, THIS STUDY WILL ALLOW US THE OPPORTUNITY TO DETERMINE WHETHER THERAPEUTIC OUTCOMES WILL REPLICATE OUR OUTSTANDING RESULTS FROM OUR FLAGSHIP U.S. STUDY IN A SIMILAR CULTURAL CONTEXT, OR WHETHER THE RESULTS WILL BE MORE SIMILAR TO THE GOOD RESULTS WE OBTAINED IN OUR SWISS STUDY, IN A DIFFERENT CULTURAL CONTEXT. |

36. MDMA FOR PTSD STUDY (SPAIN) - TOGETHER WITH FORMER MAPS-SPONSORED INVESTIGATOR JOSE CARLOS BOUSO, PH.D., AND JORDI RIBA, PH.D., MAPS DEVELOPED A PROTOCOL FOR AN MDMA/PTSD STUDY IN SPAIN, WHICH WAS TO BE OUR FIRST COMPLETED STUDY IN THE EUROPEAN UNION. IN 2000, MAPS AND JOSE CARLOS BOUSO STARTED THE WORLD'S FIRST CONTROLLED STUDY OF MDMA-ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY. HOWEVER, IN 2002, AFTER POSITIVE MEDIA ATTENTION TO THE STUDY, THE MADRID ANTI-DRUG AUTHORITY SHUT THE STUDY DOWN FOR POLITICAL REASONS. A PAPER REPORTING ON THE PRELIMINARY RESULTS WAS PUBLISHED BY JOSE CARLOS BOUSO, ET. AL. NOW, AFTER THE SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF OUR U.S. AND SWISS PILOT STUDIES, IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO OBTAIN PERMISSION FOR A NEW SPANISH STUDY, ESPECIALLY SINCE JOSE CARLOS HAS MOVED TO BARCELONA TO WORK WITH JORDI RIBA, WHO HAS CONDUCTED SEVERAL PHASE 1 PSYCHEDELIC STUDIES. HOWEVER, AFTER MUCH DISCUSSION, MAPS AND THE INVESTIGATORS DECIDED THAT DUE TO OTHER RESEARCH OBLIGATIONS AND INTERESTS OF THE POTENTIAL INVESTIGATORS, WE WILL NOT GO FORWARD WITH THIS PROTOCOL IN SPAIN. THE MDMA/PTSD PROTOCOL DESIGN, WHICH IS UNIQUE AMONG OUR PHASE 2 PILOT STUDY DESIGNS IN THAT IT USES D-AMPHETAMINE AS AN ACTIVE COMPARATOR INSTEAD OF LOWER DOSES OF MDMA, MAY STILL BE USED AT AN ALTERNATE SITE AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE. |

WE REPORTED LAST YEAR THAT THIS WOULD COVER THE ENTIRE BUDGET FOR THE STUDY, BUT NOW WE HAVE ENLARGED THE STUDY AND EXPECT IT TO COST A TOTAL OF $135,000. THE PROTOCOL HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW BOARD AT AL-RASHID HOSPITAL IN AMMAN, AND HAS BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE JORDANIAN FDA. HOWEVER, THE JFDA DECIDED NOT TO APPROVE THE STUDY AT THIS TIME, FOR REASONS THAT HAVE YET TO BE EXPLAINED. WE'RE HOPEFUL WE WILL EVENTUALLY BE PERMITTED TO CONDUCT THIS STUDY. MAPS HAS CREATED THE FIRST ARABIC TRANSLATION OF OUR PRIMARY OUTCOME VARIABLE, THE CLINICIAN ADMINISTERED PTSD SCALE (CAPS). IN THIS WAY, WE WILL HELP FACILITATE OTHER PTSD RESEARCH IN THE ARABIC SPEAKING WORLD. |

40. MDMA FOR PTSD STUDY (US) - ONGOING EXPENSES FOR THIS COMPLETED STUDY WERE MOSTLY FOR DATA VERIFICATION AND AUDITING AND PREPARATION OF A FINAL REPORT FOR THE FDA. THE FDA REQUIRES DATA TO BE 99.5% ACCURATE. OUR INTERNAL AUDIT PRODUCED A 99.575% ACCURACY RATE. PREPARING FOR THIS AUDIT TOOK A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF STAFF TIME, SINCE THIS WAS OUR FIRST STUDY AND THE DATA COLLECTION PROCESS NEEDED MORE REFINEMENT. NOW THAT WE HAVE COMPLETED ONE FULL STUDY FROM START TO FINISH, WE ARE ABLE TO APPLY LESSONS LEARNED FROM THIS AUDIT TO TIGHTEN UP OUR DATA COLLECTION PROCEDURES ON FUTURE STUDIES SO THAT FUTURE AUDITS ARE LESS TIME-CONSUMING. THE PROMISING RESULTS OF THIS STUDY, PUBLISHED JULY 19, 2010 IN THE JOURNAL OF PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY, HAVE BEEN WIDELY REPORTED AROUND THE WORLD. |

SHE CONTINUED THIS ONGOING REVIEW THROUGHOUT FY 10-11. WHEN APPLYING TO THE FDA AND INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW BOARDS WITH A NEW PROTOCOL, IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF ALL FACTORS RELATED TO RISK. THIS LITERATURE REVIEW IS BECOMING LESS EXPENSIVE EACH YEAR DUE TO THE RELATIVELY SETTLED STATE OF MDMA RESEARCH, WITH THE RESEARCH GENERATING RELATIVELY FEW CHANGES IN THE RISK-BENEFIT ESTIMATES. OVER THE YEARS, MAPS HAS SPENT ABOUT $150,000 ON OUR MDMA LITERATURE REVIEW AND HAVE "CAPTURED" AN ESTIMATED $300 MILLION WORTH OF RESEARCH, ALL OF WHICH WAS IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN. THE ENORMITY OF THE PUBLISHED LITERATURE ON THE RISKS AND MECHANISMS OF ACTION OF MDMA AND ECSTASY, OVER 3500 PAPERS INDEXED IN MEDLINE, IS THE PRIMARY REASON THAT MAPS CAN DEVELOP MDMA INTO A PRESCRIPTION MEDICINE FOR AROUND $10 MILLION. |

52. CANNABIS FOR PTSD STUDY (US) - ON NOVEMBER 11, 2010, MAPS SUBMITTED TO THE FDA A PROTOCOL TO STUDY THE USE OF MARIJUANA IN TREATING SYMPTOMS OF PTSD, WITH DR. SUE SISLEY AS THE CLINICAL INVESTIGATOR. THESE EXPENSES ARE FOR THE PROTOCOL DESIGN AND APPROVAL PROCESS FOR A CONTROLLED, RANDOMIZED, DOSE-RESPONSE, TRIPLE-BLIND INVESTIGATION OF FIVE DIFFERENT DOSES OF MARIJUANA, SMOKED OR VAPORIZED, IN 50 VETERANS WITH CHRONIC, TREATMENT-RESISTANT PTSD. THE SUBJECTS WILL RECEIVE MARIJUANA FOR FOUR WEEKS, THEN GO THROUGH A TWO WEEK PERIOD OF CESSATION, THEN RANDOMLY RECEIVE ANOTHER BATCH OF MARIJUANA FOR FOUR MORE WEEKS OF MEDICATION, THEN TWO WEEKS OF CESSATION. NUMEROUS ANECDOTAL REPORTS OF PTSD PATIENTS SELF- MEDICATING WITH MARIJUANA SUGGEST THAT MARIJUANA AS A MEDICINE TREATS SYMPTOMS (ESPECIALLY NIGHTMARES) BUT REQUIRES CHRONIC, DAILY ADMINISTRATION. IN CONTRAST, MDMA-ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY ADDRESSES THE CORE PROBLEM AND IS ONLY USED A FEW TIMES, YET IS MORE EXPENSIVE AND TIME-CONSUMING. ON APRIL 28, 2011, FDA APPROVED MAPS' MARIJUANA/PTSD PROTOCOL. LATER THAT AFTERNOON, WE SUBMITTED IT FOR REVIEW BY THE PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE/NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON DRUG ABUSE REVIEWERS, WHO WAITED ABOUT FOUR AND A HALF MONTHS AND THEN THOROUGHLY REJECTED THE STUDY. WE'RE CURRENTLY PREPARING A RESPONSE AND REVISED PROTOCOL, THOUGH WE DON'T HAVE MUCH HOPE THESE REVIEWERS WILL EVER REACH A UNANIMOUS DECISION TO LET US PROCEED. THIS OUTRAGEOUS STANDARD OF APPROVAL WAS IMPOSED BY THE SECRETARY OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES. |

PRIOR TO CREATING THIS SOFTWARE, WE RANDOMIZED SUBJECTS BY DRAWING CARDS OUT OF A HAT, BUT THAT DID NOT ALLOW US TO DOCUMENT AND VERIFY THE ACTIONS AND WHEN THEY WERE COMPLETED. THE LACK OF A PRE-EXISTING OPEN SOURCE SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM ENCOURAGED US TO BUILD IT, SAVING US POTENTIALLY TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN YEARLY LICENSE FEES. THE PROGRAM THAT WE DEVELOPED HAS ATTRACTED INTEREST BY INTERNATIONAL CLINICAL RESEARCH ORGANIZATIONS, AND WE MAY MAKE IT AVAILABLE TO OTHER PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES TO USE. |
