Vaporized Cannabis Administration & Co-Administration of Alcohol on

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This human laboratory study will use cognitive, behavioral, and subjective measures to characterize impairment associated with co-use of alcohol and vaporized cannabis. Participants (n=32) will complete 7 double-blind, double-dummy outpatient sessions in randomized order. In each session, participants will self-administer placebo (0 mg THC) or active vaporized cannabis (5 or 25 mg THC, via a handheld vaporizer called the Mighty Medic) and a placebo drink (BAC 0.0%) or alcohol drink calculated to produce a breath alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.05%. Participants will also complete a positive control session in which the participant administers placebo cannabis and alcohol at a target BAC of 0.08% (the legal threshold for driving impairment in most U.S. states).

Clinical Trial Description

This study will be conducted at the Johns Hopkins Behavioral Pharmacology Research Unit (BPRU). Participants will complete a screening visit, and, if eligible, will then complete 7 experimental drug administration sessions in randomized order where the participant will vaporize cannabis-containing capsules (or "pods") (containing 0, 5, or 25mg THC) with a drink that contains no alcohol or alcohol (alcohol-containing drinks will be calculated to produce a breath alcohol concentration, BAC, of 0.05%). There is also a positive control session where participants will vaporize placebo cannabis with an alcohol drink calculated to produce a BAC of 0.08%. Each session will last approximately 8 hours and will be separated by at least 48 hours to allow for sufficient drug washout. Participants may complete up to 2 sessions per week. Drugs will be administered in a double-blind and double-dummy fashion (i.e., participants will always receive both active or placebo cannabis and active or placebo alcohol). During each session, a battery of assessments including blood collection, subjective questionnaire administration, cognitive performance testing, and simulated driving will be conducted. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
