About this study

Official title: Tiagabine for the Treatment of Cocaine Dependence

The purpose of this study is to assess tiagabine for the treatment of cocaine dependence.

Read the detailed description

To assess the efficacy and safety of tiagabine in reducing cocaine use in subjects with cocaine dependence. It is hypothesized that tiagabine treatment, compared to placebo, will be associated with fewer days of cocaine use as assessed by self-report confirmed with urine assays for benzoylecgonine (BE). This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group design study, in which, after screening and a 2-week baseline assessment period, subjects will be equally randomly assigned to 1 of 2 treatment groups, tiagabine or matched placebo.

A Phase 2 study testing Tiagabine in people with Cocaine-Related Disorders, run by National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) at 4 sites 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 4 sites 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?

Drug use. The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00086255, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
