About this study

Official title: Phase 1, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Assessment of Interactions Between 2 Doses of Cocaine and Three Doses of Escalating Vanoxerine (GBR 12909) in Cocaine Using Volunteers

Cocaine dependence is a major public health problem; an effective primary treatment for cocaine dependent individuals has yet to be found. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effects of vanoxerine (GBR 12909) in treating cocaine dependent individuals.

Read the detailed description

Cocaine is a strong central nervous system stimulant that is widely abused throughout the United Sates. Due to its widespread use, it is important to develop an effective treatment for cocaine dependence. Dopamine transporters (DAT) play an important role in the addictive nature of cocaine; the use of compounds that target DAT may be effective in treating cocaine dependent individuals. Research shows that GBR 12909 has a strong affinity for DAT. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and potential interaction of GBR 12909 and cocaine in cocaine dependent individuals.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing GBR 12909 in people with Cocaine Abuse and Cocaine-Related Disorders, 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 7 inclusion and 20 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: stopped early, 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Issue of priority of resources). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Medication effects, including frequency of adverse events (time frame: 12 days of trial). 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.
