About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group, Intravenous Cocaine and Oral Gamma Vinyl-Gamma-Amino Butyric Acid (VIGABATRIN) Interaction Study

This is a Phase 1 safety/tolerably study to determine if there are clinically significant interactions between oral vigabatrin (gamma vinyl-gamma-amino butyric acid; VGB) concurrent with intravenous (IV) cocaine infusions.

Read the detailed description

STUDY DESIGN: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study of the effects of VGB compared to placebo control on the physiological and subjective effects of IV infusions of cocaine (cocaine experienced volunteers).

Subjects will be randomized within each clinical site to one of four groups (placebo control or one of three doses of VGB twice daily).During VGB steady state dosing, subjects will receive double-blind infusions of saline and cocaine. Subjects will be asked to return for follow-up approximately 7 and 14 days after the day of clinic discharge.

STUDY DURATION: The maximum duration is 56 days, including 14 inpatient days of assessments and investigational products administration, and two follow-up visits after clinic discharge.

SAMPLE SIZE: Twenty-four subjects will be randomized to one of three doses of vigabatrin or placebo.

POPULATION: Volunteer, cocaine-experienced, non-treatment seeking cocaine users, 18 to 45 years of age.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Vigabatrin in people with Cocaine Addiction, 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 4 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 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. 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 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 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?

safety/tolerability and AE assessments including HR/BP/ECG/QTc (time frame: 56 days). 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.
