As part of MAPS' efforts to develop MDMA into a prescription medicine as an adjunct to psychotherapy, MAPS sponsored a comprehensive review of the scientific literature on MDMA. This comprehensive review was submitted to FDA in October 2001, along with the MDMA/PTSD protocol which FDA subsequently approved.

MAPS also sponsored the MDMA Literature Review Update #1: 1/20/03, which was submitted to the IRB reviewing the MDMA/PTSD protocol. This update of publications appearing after the comprehensive review was completed is intended to keep the literature review current by providing summaries of all papers that discuss MDMA or ecstasy, with a focus on human clinical trials and studies in ecstasy users. All updates include summaries of original research and reviews of studies conducted in humans, in vitro and in non-human animals published in English-language peer-reviewed journals. All updates appearing after August 2002 also examine human medical case reports. Forensic and chemistry research is not addressed, but such papers will be noted in overviews appearing after August 2002. These updates, written before this What's New Page was available, can be found here. Their addition to the MAPS WWW Psychedelic Bibliography is a work in progress. New reviews and summaries from April, 2004 will appear in the bibliography and will be searchable from the bibliography query interface and this page.
