February 2026 brought a series of notable developments in psychiatry, spanning regulatory approvals, late-stage clinical trial milestones, and new research aimed at improving care for patients with complex mood disorders. From advances in psychedelic-assisted therapies to new pharmacologic options for serious mental illness, the month highlighted the evolving treatment landscape for conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder.

Among the most significant updates was the approval of milsaperidone (Bysanti) by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the acute treatment of manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder and for schizophrenia in adults, expanding the range of first-line treatment options available to clinicians. Meanwhile, investigational psychedelic therapies continued to generate momentum, with COMP360 psilocybin meeting the primary endpoint in a second phase 3 trial for treatment-resistant depression and early clinical data suggesting antidepressant effects from intravenous SPL026 in patients with major depressive disorder.

Beyond drug development, new research also offered insights into clinical decision-making and emerging neuromodulation approaches. Studies examining predictors of relapse following antidepressant discontinuation and the age-related effects of magnetic seizure therapy in treatment-resistant depression underscore the ongoing effort to refine personalized care strategies for patients with difficult-to-treat psychiatric conditions.

In this psychiatry month in review, we highlight the key approvals, clinical trial updates, and research findings that shaped the month of February.

FDA Approves Milsaperidone for Acute Bipolar I Disorder, Schizophrenia

On February 20, 2026, the FDA approved Vanda Pharmaceuticals’ milsaperidone (Bysanti) tablets as a first line therapy for the acute treatment of manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder and for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults. In clinical studies, milsaperidone demonstrated bioequivalence to iloperidone across the therapeutic dosing spectrum. Commercial availability is expected by Q3 2026.

Intravenous DMT (SPL026) Demonstrates Significant MDD Reduction in Phase 2a Trial

On February 20, 2026, Helus Pharma announced the publication of results from a phase 2a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating SPL026 in participants with moderate-to-severe major depressive disorder. The study met its primary endpoint for statistically significant and clinically meaningful reductions in depressive symptoms at 2 weeks, as measured by the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale in participants treated with SPL026 compared with placebo. Helus Pharma does not plan to advance intravenous SPL026 in its current form but will use the mechanistic and clinical insights generated from the trial to continue to inform the Company’s HLP004 development program.

COMP360 Psilocybin Meets Primary Endpoint in Second Phase 3 Trial for TRD

On February 17, 2026, Compass Pathways announced that its investigational synthetic psilocybin formulation, COMP360, met the primary endpoint in the second pivotal phase 3 trial evaluating the therapy in adults with treatment-resistant depression. In the COMP006 study, a pair of 25-mg doses administered 3 weeks apart yielded a statistically significant reduction in depressive symptom severity at week 6 compared with a 1-mg dose control, reinforcing findings from the companion COMP005 trial and advancing the program toward regulatory submission.

Delay Discounting Fails to Predict MDD Relapse, Q&A With Giles Story, PhD

Recent research shows delay discounting did not predict relapse after antidepressant discontinuation in patients with remitted major depressive disorder, despite a modest association with residual depressive symptoms. Findings from the multi-site longitudinal study suggest a lack of reliable tools for predicting relapse and emphasize the importance of individualized, shared decision-making when counseling patients.

MST Shows Age-Related Differences in MDD Outcomes, With Lina Jia, MD, PhD

New data suggest adolescents with treatment-resistant major depressive disorder receiving magnetic seizure therapy (MST) may experience faster symptom improvement, fewer cognitive adverse events, and better overall tolerability compared to adults. Findings from the prospective comparative study address a critical evidence gap in neuromodulation for depression, as most existing data are derived from adult populations despite important developmental, neurobiological, and safety considerations in younger patients.

Articles

February 2026 psychiatry milestones spanned an FDA approval, pivotal psychedelic trial success, and clinically focused research on relapse risk and neuromodulation. Milsaperidone gained US approval as a first-line option for acute manic/mixed episodes in bipolar I disorder and for adult schizophrenia, with launch expected Q3 2026. Psychedelic programs advanced, including positive phase 3 outcomes for COMP360 psilocybin in treatment-resistant depression and phase 2a signal for IV DMT (SPL026) in major depressive disorder, informing next-generation development.

The FDA approval of milsaperidone and a pair of positive trials in depression signal a month of progress in psychiatry.

6 in 10 US Women Predicted to Have Cardiovascular Disease by 2050, With Karen Maddox, MD, MPH

The prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and 

 in women is projected to increase dramatically through 2050, based on a recent statement from the American Heart Association (AHA).

Currently, >62 million women in the US are living with some form of CVD. Additionally, some health factors, including high blood pressure, 

, are increasing among young girls aged 2-19. Based on current trends and with no further intervention, these numbers are only expected to rise.

“We really wanted to provide a 30,000-foot overview of where we’re headed in women’s cardiovascular health in the US,” Karen Maddox, MD, MPH, a professor of medicine and public health and co-director of the Center for Advancing Health Services, Policy & Economics Research at the Washington University School of Medicine, told 

 in an exclusive interview. “We looked at both cardiovascular risk factors and events, and took what we understand about the trends and all of those things leading up to today and tried to project forward through 2050 to understand where we’re going.”

Maddox and colleagues estimated the prevalence of suboptimal levels of each component of the AHA’s Life’s Essential 8, as well as the prevalence of 4 major cardiovascular diseases, including coronary heart disease (CHD), 

, all 4 of which were collectively described as CVD. The baseline prevalence of each disease was estimated via data from the 2015-2020 prepandemic National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

Additional NHANES data from 2010-2020 was utilized to estimate growth or decline in age-adjusted prevalence of risk factors and clinical CVD, applying these rates to age/sex/race and ethnicity-specific prevalence for 2020-2050. The team then combined estimated prevalence by age/sex/race and ethnicity with the 2010 Census projections of population counts for 2020-2050 to generate the number of women and girls with each condition for this time period.

Among the Life’s Essential 8 components, Maddox and colleagues determined that 

 will increase from 48.6% in 2020 to 59.1% in 2050. Diabetes will also increase from 14.9% to 25.3%, while obesity will rise from 43.9% to 61.2%. However, hypercholesterolemia is projected to decline from 42.1% to 22.3%. Suboptimal health behaviors were largely projected to improve over time, including suboptimal diet (49% to 47.6%), inadequate physical activity (39.8% to 28.6%), and smoking (13.8% to 7.2%). However, inadequate sleep will worsen, rising from 40.3% to 42.2%.

Overall CVD rates were all predicted to increase as well, with CHD rising from 6.85% to 8.21%, HF increasing from 2.45% to 3.6%, stroke rising from 4.14% to 6.74%, and AF from 1.58% to 2.31%. Additionally, total CVD will rise from 10.7% to 14.4%.

When divided by racial, ethnic, and age group, Maddox and colleagues noted that Black women had the highest baseline and projected prevalence of inadequate sleep and poor diet, while Asian women had the highest projected prevalence of inadequate physical activity. Younger women – 20-44 years – had the highest prevalence of poor diet and smoking, but the lowest of inadequate physical activity. Poor sleep was more prevalent among the oldest women, who were ≥80 years.

Ultimately, investigators determined that nearly 1 in 3 women 22-44 years of age will have some type of cardiovascular disease by 2050, which marks a significant increase from <1 in 4 currently. Of these, 1 in 6 women in the US will have some type of cardiovascular disease, largely driven by rapidly increasing rates of high blood pressure.

“The issue is that we don’t act on things when we find them, and we don’t necessarily get everyone the recommended guidelines,” Maddox said. “Many times, when someone young is found to have high blood pressure, we don’t take these very seriously, and we say they could lose some weight or exercise more and come back in a year or two.”

Department of Medicine (Nephrology, Rheumatology, Endocrinology and Transplantation); and Director of the Hamburg Center for Kidney Health at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf.

Clinical Trial Summit 2026: Advanced Therapies, Equity, and a Global Outlook for Glomerular Disease

The final episode looks ahead, weaving together summit planning, 2026 goals, cutting-edge therapies, and global equity.

Gillespie previews the International Society of Glomerular Disease (ISGD)’s inaugural Clinical Trial Summit in Galveston, Texas. Designed as a multi-stakeholder meeting, it will bring together basic scientists, trialists, venture capital, regulators, healthcare leaders, patients, study coordinators, and fellows. The format is intentionally interactive, aiming to break silos and “break barriers” in clinical trials.

Huber then proposes a “game” where each shares what they most look forward to by 2026. Their rapid-fire wishes include:

Implementing FSGS surrogate endpoints and widely sharing the work already completed.

Making substantial progress in membranous nephropathy endpoints, including integrating PLA2R titers into qualified surrogate measures.

Defining IgAN 2.0 trial designs as new drugs become standard of care, and learning how to combine multiple approved therapies targeting different points in the disease cascade.

Adapting hierarchical composite endpoints (HCEs) from cardiology, blending clinical outcomes, symptoms, and biomarkers to better reflect patient experience.

Advancing molecular stratification and endotyping of diseases via high-resolution tissue technologies, to eventually replace coarse histologic classifications.

The conversation then turns to cell and gene therapies, referencing an earlier KHI meeting with the 

 Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) leaders and the approval of gene therapy for 

They anticipate cell therapies for diabetic kidney disease and membranous nephropathy, as well as gene therapy approaches for IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and Alport syndrome. They determine that success will require close collaboration with hematology and oncology teams already experienced with these modalities.

Huber closes with a reminder that all this high-end innovation must be matched by basic improvements in awareness and early detection, such as routine proteinuria screening, and by solutions for low- and middle-income countries. 

Gillespie adds a vision of glomerular disease centers of excellence, an idea long championed by her mentor Ron Falk, MD, and celebrates the growing cross-society collaboration that will be needed to turn glomerular disease into glomerular health worldwide.

Parasol, Endpoints, and Rethinking Clinical Trials in Glomerular Disease

In this episode, the conversation broadens to the PARASOL framework and the evolving science of endpoints and trial design across glomerular diseases.

Gillespie briefly defines PARSOL, which is French for umbrella, as a unifying initiative conceived with leaders like Laurel Damashek to protect and guide the community toward better trial designs and therapeutic options across multiple diseases. PARASOL 1.0 focused on focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), and newer extensions now target membranous nephropathy and APOL1-mediated kidney disease, with ambitions to cover many glomerular diseases over the coming decade.

The core philosophy of PARASOL is collaborative data sharing. For example, rather than each company independently shouldering the burden of building evidence for regulatory endpoints, sponsors with competing drugs work together, pooling clinical trial and registry data to evaluate potential surrogate endpoints. Gillespie underscores the importance of this shift, echoing other leading voices in the field who advocate for collaboration as essential to progress in rare and complex diseases.

Gillespie then gives a concise tutorial on endpoints:

In regulatory terms, endpoints must reflect how a patient feels, functions, or survives.

Validated surrogate endpoints (e.g., LDL cholesterol in atherosclerotic disease) have strong, long-term data linking biomarker changes to clinical outcomes.

Reasonably likely surrogate endpoints support accelerated approval, such as proteinuria reductions in IgA nephropathy.

Candidate surrogate endpoints, the focus of Parasol, are being evaluated for their potential to move up the hierarchy.

She notes that while some sponsors try to copy-paste the IgA nephropathy (IgAN) “recipe” to other diseases, this is inappropriate because each glomerular disease has unique pathobiology and mechanisms of action. Hence, disease-specific PARASOL projects for FSGS, membranous, APOL1, and beyond.

The episode also touches on Alport syndrome, where the ASSENT initiative is playing a similar endpoint-defining role, with roughly 45 companies interested.

Finally, Gillespie discusses practical trial challenges, including limited numbers of glomerular specialists, recruitment bottlenecks, and the need to mobilize community nephrologists. She highlights clinical trial boot camps that train new investigators and shows how collaborations with patient organizations are critical for dissemination, pricing, and implementation once drugs are approved.

The PARASOL initiative is reshaping glomerular disease trials through shared data and improved surrogate endpoints.

PARASOL, Endpoints, and Rethinking Clinical Trials in Glomerular Disease

PLA2R, Membranous Nephropathy, and the PARASOL Membranous Project”

This episode builds a bridge from anti-nephrin autoantibodies to PLA2R-positive membranous nephropathy, positioning the latter as a role model for precision nephrology. 

Gillespie recalls work with NEF Cure around the years 2021 to 2023, when they evaluated ongoing membranous nephropathy trials to see how frequently anti-PLA2R antibodies were being measured. To their disappointment, several sponsors were not systematically collecting PLA2R data, a missed opportunity when the goal is to support surrogate endpoints beyond proteinuria.

Gillespie emphasizes how steroids are poorly tolerated, sharing her own short-term experience versus patients who endure months or years of therapy. She highlights that antibody dynamics can precede changes in proteinuria: if PLA2R (or other autoantibody) titers fall before proteinuria improves, this could justify earlier tapering of toxic therapies, rather than waiting 3 to 6 months for proteinuria to decline. This is the clinical promise of antibody-based endpoints.

Huber then situates PLA2R-positive membranous nephropathy in the broader history. It represents a rare full success story where the community:

Linked this to B cell–depleting therapies, such as rituximab, establishing precise, mechanism-based treatment.

Since commercial PLA2R assays have been available for over a decade, centers worldwide have accumulated large datasets, creating fertile ground for advanced analyses. This is the foundation for the PARASOL membranous project under the International Society of Glomerular Disease (ISGD). The project’s aim is to refine proteinuria-based surrogate endpoints by integrating PLA2R antibody titers, measuring not only the effect on the symptom, proteinuria, but also on the molecular cause.

Huber describes alignment with regulators and stakeholders to pursue endpoint qualification that includes PLA2R dynamics. The project encompasses building global registries, aggregating and harmonizing existing datasets, and correlating antibody kinetics with outcomes. The ultimate goal is to create stronger, more predictive endpoints that will support better trial design, faster drug development, and improved decision-making in membranous nephropathy.
