About this study

Official title: Progesterone Treatment in Female Smokers

The purpose of this study is to investigate progesterone effects in female smokers

Read the detailed description

Limited research has been done on the effects of gender and menstrual cycle in response to drugs of abuse in humans. The main goal of this pilot study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of progesterone treatment in female nicotine users. In addition, plasma progesterone levels reached with a single 200 mg dose of progesterone treatment will be measured. The study will be a double-blind placebo controlled, crossover trial in which 12 female smokers who are in the early follicular phase of their menstrual cycle will be enrolled. Druing the experimental sessions, subjects will be given a single 200 mg dose of micronized progesterone or placebo and multiple blood samples will be obtained to measure the plasma levels of progesterone. Starting 2 hours after progesterone or placebo treatment, subjects will have a self-administration period that will last around 2.5 hours. We hypothesize that administration of 200 mg of progesterone will achieve plasma progesterone concentrations similar to those found in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, 3-30 ng/ml.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Micronized Progesterone in people with Tobacco Use Disorder, run by National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Behavioral. The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Jan 2017.
