简要总结
This study will determine the initial efficacy, safety and tolerability of n-acetylcysteine as a pharmacotherapy for cocaine dependence. A rigorous, inpatient human laboratory study will be conducted in which the subjective, physiological and reinforcing effects of cocaine are evaluated during maintenance on placebo and n-acetylcysteine.

结局指标
主要结局
Number of Times Cocaine Was Selected in the Presence of a Monetary Reward Alternative
时间窗: One test per cocaine dose level per intervention for each participant over his/her approximate 2 week inpatient admission.
The reinforcing effects of cocaine were determined using a modified progressive ratio procedure (Stoops et al., 2010) in which subjects made 6 choices between available each available cocaine dose and money (US$0.25). Reinforcing effects are measured for each cocaine dose during both buspirone and placebo maintenance.
