Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare individuals with cocaine dependence to recreational users of cocaine in terms of their brain reactivity to cocaine cues, in hopes that this comparison may help us better understand the transition from recreational to compulsive cocaine use.
The proposed research will focus on investigating the determinants and consequences of CAD via measurement of physiological, behavioral and subjective effects of physiologic and psychologic stress cues in CAD volunteers in the laboratory, and through examination of the effects of the effects of Aprepitant, an NK1 antagonist, on the above effects. This study will examine the effects of the above stress cues on cocaine and alcohol craving under acute Aprepitant dosing, and under placebo conditions. The study is a within-subjects crossover design using 24 subjects.
This study examines whether carvedilol prolongs abstinence in recently abstinent cocaine dependent participants.
The purpose of this challenge grant is to conduct an initial test of a new, enhanced version of this protocol (telephone monitoring and counseling - enhanced, or TMAC-E), which has been modified to include the elements of our existing continuing care intervention plus patient-centered changes to boost patient involvement and community linkages. The investigators will recruit 150 cocaine dependent patients in publicly funded, community-based programs and randomize them to treatment as usual or the TMAC-E and follow them for 12 months.
This protocol (a supplement to 805466) is to test whether our telephone continuing care model can be implemented successfully by "real world" publicly funded programs. Participants will be recruited from Philadelphia's Department of Behavioral Health - run drug programs. The investigators will train city telephone care managers to deliver our telephone continuing care intervention to patients in this program. The investigators will randomize 200 to receive this intervention or usual care and follow them for 12 months.
This is a Phase II within-subjects double-blind placebo-controlled human laboratory study. The purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy of varenicline (Chantix) for reducing cue-induced cocaine and alcohol craving.
Doxazosin, an alpha 1-adrenergic receptor antagonist, may play an important role in cocaine addiction in humans. This study will evaluate to what extent the prospective screening for catecholamine related polymorphisms for alpha 1 NE receptor/transporter, COMT and DBH as main targets predict the treatment efficacy of doxazosin for cocaine-using behavior.
This is a residential pilot trial to evaluate the pharmacodynamic interaction between zonisamide and cocaine, with the goal of evaluating zonisamide's potential for the treatment of cocaine dependence.
This research will evaluate the impact of blocking central and peripheral glucocorticoid receptors on stress sensitivity and the risk of relapse to cocaine use in treatment-seeking cocaine-dependent individuals. Mifepristone (RU-486) will be the glucocorticoid antagonist used.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of substance-abuse treatment as usual plus smoking-cessation treatment (TAU+SCT), relative to substance-abuse treatment as usual (TAU), on drug-abuse outcomes. Specifically, this study will evaluate whether concurrent smoking-cessation treatment improves, worsens, or has no effect on stimulant-use outcomes in smokers who are in outpatient substance-abuse treatment for cocaine or methamphetamine dependence.
