About this study

Official title: Lisdexamfetamine Treatment for Cocaine Dependence

This protocol is a 2-group double-blind placebo-controlled outpatient study investigating lisdexamfetamine for treatment of cocaine dependence. The investigators plan to enroll 100 subjects in a 14-week trial. The primary objectives will determine changes in cocaine use and secondary objectives will be cocaine craving and impulsivity.

Read the detailed description

This 2-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 14-week study (N=100) will investigate the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy plus lisdexamfetamine vs. placebo to treat cocaine dependence. We hypothesize that lisdexamfetamine will reduce cocaine use (primary outcome), as well as cocaine craving and impulsivity (secondary outcomes) vs. placebo.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cocaine-positive Urine Results

    At each visit, subjects provided urine samples, which were analyzed for benzoylecgonine (BE; a cocaine metabolite). BE was assessed semi-quantitatively using the PROFILE® -V MEDTOXScan® Drugs of Abuse Test System, with cocaine positive tests equaling or exceeding 150 ng/mL.

    Measured: 14 Weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Drug Craving

    On a weekly basis, patients completed measures of cocaine craving using the Minnesota Cocaine Craving Scale.

    The Minnesota Cocaine Craving Scale is a self report questionnaire and ranges from 0 to 100, 0 being "very little" to 100 being "very much".

    Measured: 14 Weeks

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 7 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 17 Sep 2015. 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 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.

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Sep 2015). 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?

Cocaine-positive Urine Results (time frame: 14 Weeks). 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 17 Sep 2015.
