- tl;dr: the methodology was a major issue. Some critiques include that participants knew what they got (not because they were told but because getting high on MDMA is kinda obvious), which calls into question the placebo effect

  Well, sounds like the FDA isn't the issue here then and they're just doing their jobs. Pretty short-sighted of the researchers to cut corners and possibly torpedo potentially effective treatment being approved for even longer.
