What is being measured

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

  1. Percent of Participants Reporting no Cocaine Craving

    Percent of participants reporting no cocaine craving based on Brief Substance Craving Scale (BSCS) - a 4 point likert scale.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Cocaine Use as Measured by Urine Drug Screen

    The primary outcome measure was cocaine use measured by self-report, and confirmed by twice weekly urine drug screens. The percentage of participants shows the percentage who were abstinent from cocaine during the last 3 weeks of the trial.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Modafinil and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in people with Cocaine Dependence, run by Kyle Kampman.

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 11 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 15 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Jan 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percent of Participants Reporting no Cocaine Craving (time frame: 8 weeks). The study lists 2 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 15 Mar 2018.
