About this study

Official title: A Case Control Study on Contribution to the Analysis of the Phenotypic Heterogeneity in Crack/Cocaine Addiction

The purpose of this study is to assess the phenotypic candidates symptoms, in patients with crack/cocaine addiction, in terms of clinical comorbidities, dimensions of personality, and neuropsychological evaluations apt to be associated with genetic and genotypic characterisations, notably on the polymorphisms of the genes coding or regulating dopaminergic, norepinephrine and serotoninergic systems.

Read the detailed description

Genetic studies show an association between drug addiction and the dopaminergic system and its modulators. Nonetheless, results are contradictory, partially due to the heterogeneity of the phenotype addiction. Placed on the trafficking route of cocaine, and homogeneously populated, Martinique is of particular interest for the study of the vulnerability of the crack/cocaine addiction. In a precedent study, supported by a grant MILDT / INSERM 2000, on 155 men dependent to crack/cocaine and characterised with three clinical dimensions -sensation seeking, impulsivity and childhood ADHD- we found an association between each dimension and polymorphisms of DRD2 and DRD4 genes.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Collect 10 ml of Saliva for DNA extractionGenetic

    After signed written informed consent, all patients and controls have clinical and neuropsychological evaluations (DIGS, WURS, BROWN, BIS, SSS and IGT) for phenotypic diagnosis and collection of saliva for DNA extraction and genotyping diagnosis.

What is being measured

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

  1. The specific measure that will be related to core objectives of the study is to constitute a sample collection from saliva.

    Measured: The saliva will be collect at the end of the first visit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Collect 10 ml of Saliva for DNA extraction in people with Dependence, Cocaine, run by University Hospital Center of Martinique at 1 site in France.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Mar 2011. 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 France. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jérôme LACOSTE, MD (596 55 20 44 ext. +596, jerome.lacoste@chu-fortdefrance.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The specific measure that will be related to core objectives of the study is to constitute a sample collection from saliva. (time frame: The saliva will be collect at the end of the first visit). 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 22 Mar 2011.
