Who may be able to join

  • (1) qualify for a DSM-IV diagnosis of cocaine dependence, with cocaine use in the 6 months prior to entrance into the City of Philadelphia Department of Behavioral Health facilities or controlled environment;
  • (2) 18 to 75 years of age;
  • (3) no current psychotic disorder (as assessed with the psychotic screen from the SCID) or evidence of dementia severe enough to prevent participation in outpatient treatment;
  • (4) no acute medical problem requiring immediate inpatient treatment;
  • (5) no current participation in methadone or other modes of Drug and Alcohol treatment, other than an Intensive Outpatient Program;
  • (6) willingness to be randomized and participate in research.

We will include patients with dependence on other substances, provided that they are cocaine dependent and meet other inclusion criteria.

Who cannot join

  • Current dependence on opiates is an exclusion as those participants may be better served as part of a methadone program rather than a telephone based therapy protocol. Also, if patients are court-ordered to treatment, or otherwise considered prisoners, they will not be included in the study.

What participants receive

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

  • Recovery Support CounselingBehavioural

    Telephone based recovery support provided by paraprofessionals at the City of Philadelphia's Behavioral Health Department. Calls are once weekly for 8 weeks, then step down to every other week for the remainder of the year of study participation. Call frequency can be increased as a result of a rise in risk factor/protective factor ratio.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Recovery Support Counseling in people with Cocaine Dependence, run by University of Pennsylvania 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 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 30 Mar 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?

Time Line Follow Back (time frame: 3 month). 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?
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 30 Mar 2017.
