What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To assess the efficacy of cabergoline in reducing cocaine use in subjects with cocaine dependence

    Success in the reduction of cocaine use was determined by comparing cocaine non-use days (self-report confirmed or disproved by urine BE level at each study visit) expressed as the weekly mean proportion of non-use days to the total number of non-missing study days that week.

    Measured: Week 12

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Reduction in cocaine use

    Measured by the weekly mean proportion of non-use days according to the subject's self report without regard to BE levels

    Measured: 12 weeks
