Clinical Trial Summary

Changes in the communication of glutamate from one brain structure to another are important in the development of therapy for cocaine use disorders. Our preliminary investigations suggest that drugs that affect glutamate exchange may be effective at promoting and maintaining individuals' abstinence from cocaine. The purpose of this randomized, double-blind, controlled trial is to test various glutamate modulators in conjunction with motivational enhancement therapy (MET) and mindfulness based relapse prevention (MBRP) for cocaine use disorders.


Description:

Alterations in the transmission between neurons of a neurotransmitter called glutamate are an important target of pharmacotherapy for cocaine use disorders (CUDs). Preliminary investigations suggest that glutamate modulation may be effective at promoting and maintaining abstinence and that it promotes motivation to quit, reduces craving, reduces cocaine self-administration and facilitates abstinence in individuals with a CUD in a series of trials. The study team has recently developed and tested a novel design that integrates a clinical trial involving serial infusions and a behavioral treatment platform. The current trial will evaluate the effect of two sub-anesthetic infusions on abstinence rates in a relatively large sample of treatment-seeking CUD individuals who complete a 12-week double-blind, randomized, controlled trial. It will also evaluate the correlation between clinical response and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a peripheral biomarker relevant to glutamate modulation antidepressant response. This project aims to expand on several years of promising preliminary data to rigorously evaluate the efficacy of this innovative pharmacological intervention integrated into a behavioral treatment platform.

Meets DSM IV criteria for current major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, any psychotic illness, including substance-induced psychosis, and current substance-induced mood disorder with HAMD score > 12. 2. Physiological dependence on another substance, such as alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines, excluding caffeine and nicotine, requiring imminent medical management 3.

Heart disease as indicated by history, abnormal ECG, previous cardiac surgery. 9. Unstable physical disorders which might make participation hazardous such as hypertension (>160/90), anemia, active hepatitis or other liver disease (transaminase levels < 2-3 X the upper limit of normal will be considered acceptable), or untreated diabetes. Participants reporting HIV+ status will be asked to provide information about their current treatment, including all medications. Participants who are on the antiretroviral ritonavir (Norvir) will be excluded due to the possibility that study medications in combination with this medication may increase the risk of drug-induced hepatitis 10. Previous history of a substance use disorder with the study medications or benzodiazepine abuse and/or a history of adverse reaction/ experience with prior exposure to study medications or benzodiazepines
