Filter by:The proposed protocol is a double-blind, placebo-controlled inpatient and outpatient study,looking at the clinical treatment of cannabis use disorder. The treatment study is a total of 12 weeks. There will be two options offered to participants for week 1 of the treatment study. 1) Patient will go inpatient for 5 nights and after discharge from the inpatient phase will complete the 11-weeks of outpatient treatment or 2) patients who cannot complete the inpatient phase due to work or other obligations will complete the treatment 12-week study outpatient. 80 patients seeking treatment for cannabis use disorder will be enrolled into either the inpatient/outpatient or only outpatient study. This combined design will provide a comprehensive understanding of clonazepam's effects on individuals with cannabis use disorder across a range of outcome measures while also testing the medication's ability to prevent relapse in cannabis-abstinent patients.
The proposed protocol is a double-blind, placebo-controlled outpatient study of the safety and benefit of Extended-release mixed amphetamine salt (Adderall-XR, MAS-XR) in the treatment of individuals with Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) and Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The investigators plan to enroll 50 and randomize 40 of these patients in the trial. The primary objective of the study is to determine the efficacy of MAS-XR in promoting cannabis abstinence among individuals with CUD and in promoting a decrease of ADHD symptoms.
Approximately 50% of persons seeking treatment for cannabis-use disorders (CUDs) regularly smoke tobacco. Combining tobacco with cannabis has become a common method of smoking cannabis. Similarities of use, and using together, can make quitting difficult. Stopping tobacco simultaneously with cannabis may be beneficial. Little scientific information currently addresses how to best target tobacco smoking during treatment for CUDs. Our long-term goal is to develop an effective protocol for intervening in tobacco smoking without changing cannabis outcomes. This protocol reflects the planned Stage 1, proof-of-concept study that will compare a combined cannabis and tobacco intervention to one that targets CUD only. Hypotheses assert that the intervention (1) will be accepted by the majority of eligible participants (2) will result in more tobacco quit attempts and rates than the CUD-only treatment; and (3) will not adversely affect cannabis outcomes. Last, the project will evaluate the potential of specific moderators of outcomes to predict outcomes and inform subsequent treatment development efforts. If the hypotheses were confirmed, dissemination of this protocol would reduce adverse psychosocial and health consequences of tobacco or cannabis dependence. Findings will inform future development of prevention and intervention strategies.
The primary aim of the supplemental study is to provide POC testing of aprepitant as a treatment for comorbid alcohol and cannabis dependence. The data analysis plan specified in the parent grant will likewise be applied to the supplemental project to test for effects of aprepitant vs placebo on measures of alcohol and cannabis use and protracted withdrawal. The primary hypothesis is that subjects treated with aprepitant will have significantly less alcohol and marijuana use than subjects treated with placebo.
This project has two primary goals. The first goal is to further scientific understanding about marijuana abuse by examining two recognized factors in marijuana use and relapse: (1) stress/anxiety and (2) atypical reactivity to marijuana-related stimuli (e.g., attentional bias). The second goal is to attenuate the influence of stress/anxiety and attentional bias to marijuana stimuli via administration of buspirone. Buspirone is uniquely suited to this project because it has effects on neurotransmitter systems known to modulate both stress/anxiety and attentional bias.
Single subject repeated measures design of an open label administration of Cannabidiol (CBD) to 5 participants withdrawing from cannabis use in an inpatient setting. 300mg of CBD will be administered once on day 1, twice on days 2-5 and once on day 6. Participants will be discharged on day 7. CBD will be administered orally in capsules.
The purpose of this trial is to investigate a novel treatment for cannabis dependence: cannabidiol. Between 96 and 168 young people who want to quit cannabis and meet criteria for moderate cannabis use disorder (DSM-5) will be recruited from the community. Stage one aims to identify the Most Effective Dose (MEDmg) of oral cannabidiol for reducing cannabis use over four treatment weeks. Stage two will determine whether the MED identified in stage 1 can offer an effective treatment for cannabis dependence.
In this translational research proposal, based on our formulation, we seek to confirm and expand upon data obtained in our pilot study suggesting that cannabis and the cannabinoid agonist dronabinol, given in low dose to patients with schizophrenia and co-occurring cannabis use disorder, will in fact ameliorate the brain reward circuit dysregulation in these patients and, thereby, provide evidence in support of the role of cannabis as a "self-medication" agent for them.
This project tests the feasibility and utility of a novel, integrated approach to treatment of patients with cannabis use disorder (CUD) and anxiety disorders.
The purpose of this study is to examine an Adaptive Treatment approach in order to improve outcomes of youth with Cannabis Use Disorders who are poor responders to treatment.
