Filter by:This project will evaluate the effect of a single sub-anesthetic dose of ketamine on the time to first cocaine use and abstinence rates in 60 treatment-seeking cocaine-dependent individuals receiving mindfulness-based relapse prevention (MBRP) therapy, using a 5 week combined laboratory-inpatient and outpatient double-blind, randomized, controlled trial.
This is a phase 2 clinical trial of citalopram pharmacotherapy for treatment of cocaine dependence. Using a double-blind, randomized controlled design, eligible cocaine dependent patients will be assigned equally to one of three medication conditions: placebo or the Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor (SSRI) agent, citalopram at either 20 mg per day or 40 mg per day. It is hypothesized that citalopram will reduce cocaine use and increase periods of sustained abstinence substantially more than placebo. Performance on a set of behavioral tasks of impulsivity will be analyzed as potential predictors of treatment response.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate ideal dose or lisdexamfetamine and tolerability, plus reduction in cocaine use and craving.
The proposed protocol is an open-label pilot study of the treatment of cocaine dependence using lisdexamfetamine (LDX), a prodrug of d-amphetamine. The investigators plan to enroll 12 patients in an eight-week open-label trial to obtain preliminary data regarding the safety, tolerability, and potential utility of lisdexamfetamine for treatment of cocaine dependence and to determine an effective dosage range.
The proposed study will look at cocaine dependent individuals and will consist of three consecutive phases: 1) the 2-week outpatient lead-in phase during which behavioral therapy will be administered; 2) the 15-21 day inpatient phase (during which participants will start study medication of levodopa,carbidopa and entacapone (LCE) and will undergo brain imaging and 3) the 24 weeks outpatient treatment trial. The purpose is to see if treatment with LCE may reverse baseline brain deficits and if this change is associated with clinical improvement. Hypothesis is that treatment with LCE, compared to placebo, increases abstinence from cocaine over a 12-week trial in combination with behavioral treatment with voucher incentives.
This is the first study to be conducted in humans for JDTic, a new chemical entity, with evaluations focusing on the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of JDTic following administration of single oral doses. JDTic is a novel, selective κ opioid receptor antagonist and is currently being developed by RTI International as a potential pharmacotherapy to treat cocaine dependence. This study has the possibility of identifying the maximum tolerated dose in humans and a surrogate measure of JDTic pharmacodynamic (PD) activity. Data from this study will be used to plan for and define dose ranges for subsequent studies, as well as to identify potential indicators of JDTic pharmacological activity.
No medications are currently available for treatment of psychostimulant addiction, a compulsive preoccupation with use of cocaine and related compounds. Tacrine, a medication that is currently prescribed for Alzheimer's disease, can decrease the amount of cocaine injections that laboratory animals choose to inject by vein. This project will determine if tacrine can also decrease cocaine-motivated behavior for human subjects in a laboratory setting.
The aim of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of buprenorphine in the presence of naltrexone for the treatment of cocaine dependence.
In a randomized, double-blind controlled trial the investigators will evaluate the efficacy of rTMS in reducing impulsivity for cocaine addicts through - Quantitative and qualitative analysis - such behavior and possible behavioral consequences related.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate treatments designed to improve cocaine treatment success by combining medications that target cocaine-related cognitive impairments.
