Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to determine the effects of an exercise intervention and health-education program on brain dopamine receptors and on cognitive functions that have been linked to these receptors.
This study evaluates the ability of IXT-m200 to change methamphetamine concentrations in blood and alter the way methamphetamine feels. Participants will receive either placebo, a low or high dose of IXT-m200, in addition to methamphetamine challenge doses.
This investigation will be the first study assessing genetic modulation of naltrexone's NTX effects upon the abuse liability of a stimulant drug (methamphetamine). The study team will assess the ability of oral NTX to block the reinforcing and positive subjective effects of intranasal (IN) methamphetamine (30mg/70kg). This investigation could identify an important Gene x Pharmacological interaction, contributing to the personalization of stimulant abuse pharmacotherapy.
This study will link findings from neuroscience with clinical outcomes using contingency management (CM) to identify changes in brain structure and function that emerge during purely behavioral therapy for methamphetamine (MA) use.
Participants receive culturally relevant and specifically tailored text messages based on the behavioral change theoretical constructs of Social Support Theory, Health Belief Model, and Social Cognitive Theory. Participants are randomized into one of three conditions for an 8-week intervention period: Group 1: culturally relevant theory-based text messages interactively transmitted by peer health educators (TXT-PHE); or, Group 2: the same culturally relevant theory-based text messages transmitted by automation (TXT-Auto); or, Group 3: assessment-only (AO) control with no theoretically based text messages.
The research proposed in this application will determine the initial efficacy, safety and tolerability of a novel drug combination, oxazepam (Serax®) and naltrexone (Revia®), as a pharmacotherapy for methamphetamine (Desoxyn®) dependence. A rigorous, inpatient human laboratory study will be conducted. The proposed study is innovative and important because it will provide the impetus for the conduct of double blind, placebo-controlled trials to further demonstrate the efficacy of combined oxazepam and naltrexone for managing methamphetamine dependence.
Methamphetamine use disorders are an unrelenting public health concern. Intensive research efforts have yielded behavioral interventions that reduce methamphetamine use, however, these interventions are not universally effective and treatment effects diminish over time. Development of a pharmacotherapy that enhances the efficacy of these interventions is a priority for the National Institute on Drug Abuse. This study proposes to determine the impact of buspirone maintenance on self-administration of methamphetamine. These preliminary data will be used to support further research developing buspirone as a pharmacotherapy for methamphetamine use disorders. The investigators hypothesize that buspirone will attenuate the reinforcing effects of methamphetamine.
The purpose of this protocol is to learn more about impulsive decision making in people who use methamphetamines. The investigators would like to know if a medication called naltrexone changes how people make decisions. The investigators would also like to know whether changes in decision making can be observed by MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). The research is conducted in Portland, OR.
The primary objective is to determine the safety and tolerability of single, ascending intravenous doses of ch-mAb7F9 in healthy subjects via physical examinations and adverse event, vital sign, electrocardiogram (ECG), and clinical laboratory testing.Phase 1a, randomized, placebo-controlled, first-in-human (FIH) study of intravenously administered ch-mAb7F9. The study will be a double-blind, dose-escalation study. Each subject will receive a single dose of ch-mAb7F9 or placebo (saline).
The primary purpose of the study is to determine the effects of treatment with varenicline (1 and 2 mg daily), compared to treatment with placebo, on methamphetamine-induced craving and subjective effects in methamphetamine-dependent human volunteers.
