Filter by:The aim of this study is to examine the effect of mHealth tools on antiretroviral (ART) adherence and persistence among HIV-infected individuals with co-occurring cocaine use disorders (CUDs).
Background: - Scientists are studying medications that may be useful in treating cocaine addiction. It is important in these studies to know whether study participants are always taking their medications as directed. This study will look at two chemicals to see if they can be used to determine whether participants are taking their medications as directed. Because acetazolamide and quinine can be measured in plasma and urine, they are good test subjects for this study. They will be given alone, and combined with intravenous cocaine. Objectives: - To see how they body handles acetazolamide and quinine alone, and when combined with cocaine. Eligibility: - Individuals between 18 and 50 years of age who have smoked or used IV cocaine for at least one year and at least three times per month during the three months prior to screening. Urine test positive for cocaine within the prior 6 months Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will also be collected. - This study will involve a 12-day inpatient stay at the National Institutes of Health. - On days 1, 5, and 10, participants will receive a dose of cocaine. Blood, urine, breath, and saliva samples will be collected up to 18 times a day for up to about 24 hours. - On days 2, 3, 4, and 5, participants will receive acetazolamide. Regular blood samples will be collected on Day 4. - Day 6 is a wash-out day with no drugs or blood tests. - On days 7, 8, 9, and 10, participants will receive quinine. Regular blood samples will be collected on Day 9. - On day 11, blood, urine, breath, and saliva samples will be collected in the early morning. Participants will be able to leave later in the day.
This study will test the safety and pharmacokinetic profile of l-THP with cocaine exposure in people who have a history of cocaine use. The subject will be admitted to the Brief Stay Unit (BSU), an inpatient facility at the Maryland Psychiatric Research Center, used for short term drug abuse or clinical trial studies. The participant will stay for 4 nights and 5 days. He/she will be randomized to either placebo or l-THP for three days. On the morning of Day 4, the subject will receive one cocaine dose (40 mg intranasal) and have testing for pharmacokinetic parameters for the following 10 hours. The subject will stay over one more night and will be discharged the following day. Approximately 40 subjects will be randomized to enroll the target sample of 30 (N=15 placebo, N=15 l-THP). In summary, each subject will come for a screening visit(s), then a 5-day, 4-night stay on a secure research unit. After cocaine administration day, the participant will stay overnight for one more day of observation and to permit substantial l-THP elimination from the body. The following morning we will get one additional blood specimen for l-THP (Day 5 at 24 hours after last dose (7:30 am); then the participant will be discharged. A visit with blood collection on Day 6 at 55 hours after last dose (2:30 pm) will be scheduled. A final follow-up visit will be scheduled 4-7 days after unit discharge to ensure no persisting side effects.
