Study type | Interventional |
Specific Aim #1: To determine if galantamine (8 or 16 mg/day) is more effective than placebo
in reducing cocaine use as measured by cocaine urine results and self-report days of use.
Specific Aim # 2: To determine if galantamine (8 or 16 mg/day) is more effective than placebo
in improving attention, assessed with the Rapid Visual Information Processing (RVIP) and the
Simple Reaction Time (SRT) tests Specific Aim # 3: To determine if improvement in attention
during the first four weeks of treatment will mediate galantamine's efficacy in reducing
cocaine use.

Primary | Urine Toxicology | Presented are the average number of urine samples positive for cocaine over 12 weeks. This outcome was corrected from the protocol registration when the study data were entered. | 12 weeks | |
Secondary | Heart Rate | Pulse | once a day for up to two days over 12 Weeks | |
Secondary | Blood Pressure- Systolic | Blood Pressure is taken for safety reasons | 2 times a week for 12 weeks | |
Secondary | Blood Pressure- Diastolic | Blood Pressure is taken for safety reasons | 2 times a week for 12 weeks | |
Secondary | CANTAB RVIP Measure: RVP A | RVIP is a computerized measure of attention. This is given at baseline and every 4 weeks over the course of the 12-week study. RVP A' (aka RVIP A PRIME): is a signal detection measure of target sensitivity (i.e., successful response to targets and withholding of responses to non-targets). Range of 0 to 1. Higher scores are better. | Baseline and 12 Weeks | |
Secondary | CANTAB RVIP Measure: RVP B | RVIP is a computerized measure of attention. This is given at baseline and every 4 weeks over the course of the 12-week study. RVP B": A measure of response bias (i.e., bias towards under-responding (to targets) versus over-responding (i.e., to non-targets)) range from -1 to +1, respectively. | Baseline and 12 Weeks | |
Secondary | CANTAB RVIP Measure: RVP FALSE ALARM | RVIP is a computerized measure of attention. This is given at baseline and every 4 weeks over the course of the 12-week study. RVP FALSE ALARM is probability of false alarm. False alarms are responses to non-targets. Higher numbers are worse (i.e., could be seen as a measure of poor response inhibition). Scores range from 0-1 where 1 is the least desirable probablity. | Baseline and 12 Weeks | |
Secondary | CANTAB SST- SSRT | This is the CANTAB SST measure which evaluates response inhibition. Stop Signal Reaction Time (SSRT): The estimate of the length of time between the go stimulus and the stop stimulus at which the subject is able to successfully inhibit their response on 50% of the trials. Range of scores from 0 to 1500 (unit=milliseconds) and lower scores are 'better'. | Baseline and 12 Weeks | |
Secondary | CANTAB SST- Median Correct | This is the CANTAB SST measure which evaluates response inhibition. Stop Signal Reaction Time (SSRT): The estimate of the length of time between the go stimulus and the stop stimulus at which the subject is able to successfully inhibit their response on 50% of the trials. Range of scores from 0 to 1500 (unit=milliseconds) and lower scores are 'better'. Median correct is the median of response times across 'go' trials where the subject has responded on the correct button (right or left). | Baseline and 12 Weeks | |
Secondary | CANTAB SST- SD Correct | This is the CANTAB SST measure which evaluates response inhibition. Stop Signal Reaction Time (SSRT): The estimate of the length of time between the go stimulus and the stop stimulus at which the subject is able to successfully inhibit their response on 50% of the trials. Range of scores from 0 to 1500 (unit=milliseconds) and lower scores are 'better'. SD Correct is the standard deviation of response times across 'go' trials where the subject has responded on the correct button (right or left). | Baseline and 12 Weeks | |
Secondary | Stroop- RT Correct Neutral | Drug Stroop Task is a computerized task which presents words either cocaine-related ('drug') words or non-drug-related ('neutral') words written in colored font. The subject is asked to press a button to indicate the color of the font as quickly and accurately as possible. The task is thought to measure attentional bias to drug-related stimuli. RT Correct Neutral is the mean response time to neutral trials where the subject pressed the correct color response. | weeks 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36 | |
Secondary | Stroop- RT Correct Drug | Drug Stroop Task is a computerized task which presents words either cocaine-related ('drug') words or non-drug-related ('neutral') words written in colored font. The subject is asked to press a button to indicate the color of the font as quickly and accurately as possible. The task is thought to measure attentional bias to drug-related stimuli. RT Correct Drug is the mean response time to drug trials where the subject pressed the correct color response. | weeks 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36 | |
Secondary | Stroop- Effect Drug Neutral Mean Correct | Drug Stroop Task is a computerized task which presents words either cocaine-related ('drug') words or non-drug-related ('neutral') words written in colored font. The subject is asked to press a button to indicate the color of the font as quickly and accurately as possible. The task is thought to measure attentional bias to drug-related stimuli. Stroop Effect is difference in response time to drug versus neutral trials (i.e., RT Correct Drug - RT Correct Neutral). A larger stroop effect is 'worse' (thought to indicate more attentional bias to drug related stimuli). | weeks 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36 | |
Secondary | Digit Span- LDSF | Digit Span Task description: Orally administered (not computerized) task where subjects are read-aloud lists of digits and asked to repeat them in the same order they heard them (Forward condition). Subjects are given a pair of lists for each digit length - and given a point for each list they get entirely correct. If they get at least one out of the two correct for that length, then the researcher gives them another one of a longer length (one digit longer). If they get both wrong at a given length- that task is ended. The task is then repeated with different digit lists to recall, but they are asked to repeat them or in the reverse order that they heard them (Backward condition). Longest Digit Span Forward (LDSF) is the longest digit span a participant gets correct, in the forward condition. Higher scores are better (Scale of 0 to 9). | Baseline and 12 Weeks | |
Secondary | Digit Span- DSF | Digit Span Task description: Orally administered (not computerized) task where subjects are read-aloud lists of digits and asked to repeat them in the same order they heard them (Forward condition). Subjects are given a pair of lists for each digit length - and given a point for each list they get entirely correct. If they get at least one out of the two correct for that length, then the researcher gives them another one of a longer length (one digit longer). If they get both wrong at a given length- that task is ended. The task is then repeated with different digit lists to recall, but they are asked to repeat them or in the reverse order that they heard them (Backward condition). Digit Span Forward (DSF) is the number of digit span trials participants got correct in the forward condition. Higher scores are better (Scale of 0 to 14). | Baseline and 12 Weeks | |
Secondary | Digit Span- LDSB | Digit Span Task description: Orally administered (not computerized) task where subjects are read-aloud lists of digits and asked to repeat them in the same order they heard them (Forward condition). Subjects are given a pair of lists for each digit length - and given a point for each list they get entirely correct. If they get at least one out of the two correct for that length, then the researcher gives them another one of a longer length (one digit longer). If they get both wrong at a given length- that task is ended. The task is then repeated with different digit lists to recall, but they are asked to repeat them or in the reverse order that they heard them (Backward condition). Longest Digit Span Backward (LDSB) is the longest digit span participants got correct, in the backward condition. Higher scores are better (Scale of 0 to 8). | Baseline and 12 Weeks | |
Secondary | Digit Span- DSB | Digit Span Task description: Orally administered (not computerized) task where subjects are read-aloud lists of digits and asked to repeat them in the same order they heard them (Forward condition). Subjects are given a pair of lists for each digit length - and given a point for each list they get entirely correct. If they get at least one out of the two correct for that length, then the researcher gives them another one of a longer length (one digit longer).

The task is then repeated with different digit lists to recall, but they are asked to repeat them or in the reverse order that they heard them (Backward condition). Digit Span Forward (DSB) is the number of digit span trials participants got correct in the backward condition. Higher scores are better (Scale of 0 to 14). | Baseline and 12 Weeks |
