While quantitative tools exist to measure expectations, their subjective and multidimensional nature, especially for individuals with treatment\u2010resistant depression (TRD), remains underexplored. This study aimed to explore the motivations and expectations of participants in psychedelic clinical trials.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Seventeen semi\u2010structured interviews were conducted with individuals prior to screening for two TRD clinical trials involving 5\u2010MeO\u2010DMT or psilocybin at a German university hospital. Two matched follow\u2010up interviews were also completed after trial participation. Data were analyzed thematically to identify overarching themes and subthemes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Two main themes emerged: motivations and expectations, each with four subthemes. Motivations included hope, demoralization, prior psychedelic experience, and social motivation. Expectations involved anticipated symptom reduction, perceived mechanisms of change during the psychedelic experience, the role of setting, and retrospective expectations. Many participants viewed trial participation as a last resort due to chronic illness and previous treatment failures. In two cases, retrospective accounts suggested that initially cautious expectations were reinterpreted as stronger after participation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Expectations in psychedelic trials are complex and may evolve over time. These findings highlight the need to systematically address expectancy in trial design, informed consent, and interpretation of clinical outcomes, particularly in treatment\u2010resistant populations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/brb3.71544","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,17]],"date-time":"2026-06-17T04:36:11Z","timestamp":1781670971000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Expectations and Motivations for Participation in Clinical Trials Utilizing Psychedelics for Treatment\u2010Resistant Depression: A Qualitative Study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Christopher","family":"Poppe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Neurosciences Campus Charit\u00e9 Mitte Charit\u00e9\u2013Universit\u00e4tsmedizin Berlin  Berlin Germany"},{"name":"German Center for Mental Health (DZPG), Partner Site Berlin\u2010Potsdam  Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Liisa","family":"Lyck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Neurosciences Campus Charit\u00e9 Mitte Charit\u00e9\u2013Universit\u00e4tsmedizin Berlin  Berlin Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Bechtold","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Neurosciences Campus Charit\u00e9 Mitte Charit\u00e9\u2013Universit\u00e4tsmedizin Berlin  Berlin Germany"},{"name":"German Center for Mental Health (DZPG), Partner Site Berlin\u2010Potsdam  Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dimitris","family":"Repantis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Neurosciences Campus Charit\u00e9 Mitte Charit\u00e9\u2013Universit\u00e4tsmedizin Berlin  Berlin Germany"},{"name":"German Center for Mental Health (DZPG), Partner Site Berlin\u2010Potsdam  Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Basedow L.
