About this study

Official title: ERP-8654 - Integrated Treatment for Cocaine and Mood Disorders

The purpose of this study is to test whether cognitive behavioral therapy and bupropion hydrochloride will help cocaine users, who are depressed, reduce or end their cocaine use and improve their mood.

Read the detailed description

The global aim of this study is to evaluate an "integrated" treatment approach for cocaine dependent patients with comorbid unipolar depression. It is hypothesized that a cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy that targets both disorders, in combination with a pharmacotherapy, i.e., bupropion, is expected to provide the best coverage for dual disorders and thus maximize treatment outcomes. Specifically, we will conduct a double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial involving the random assignment of participants into one of four treatment conditions according to a full 2x2 factorial research design. One independent variable will be pharmacotherapy (bupropion versus placebo); the other independent variable will be psychotherapy (integrated CBT versus clinical management). The study will enroll 140 cocaine dependent patients with comorbid major depressive disorder. A secondary objective is to further elucidate "primary" and "secondary" paradigms of depressive illness symptoms in cocaine-dependent adults and better understand how this distinction influences treatment outcome. This will be accomplished by enrolling a subsample of patients with substance-induced mood disorder. Taken together, this proposal will examine the feasibility and relative efficacy of a novel integrated treatment model for dually-diagnosed patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bupropion in people with Cocaine Dependence and Depressive Disorder, Major, 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 5 inclusion and 5 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?

Urine toxicology for cocaine. 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.
