简要总结
This project will evaluate the effect of a single sub-anesthetic dose of ketamine on the time to first cocaine use and abstinence rates in 60 treatment-seeking cocaine-dependent individuals receiving mindfulness-based relapse prevention (MBRP) therapy, using a 5 week combined laboratory-inpatient and outpatient double-blind, randomized, controlled trial.
详细描述
he study will begin with an inpatient phase (phase 1) of 5 days, during which abstinence is achieved, followed by a 4 week outpatient phase (phase 2). A single infusion of ketamine or midazolam will occur on day 3 of Phase 1. In addition to measures of mindfulness and impulsivity, stress sensitivity tests are incorporated into the design in order to elucidate mechanisms of action. The study hypotheses are:
- ketamine and MBRP will significantly increase the time to first use compared to placebo and MBRP in cocaine-dependent individuals.
- ketamine and MBRP is significantly more likely to lead to abstinence from cocaine (no use over one week) as compared to placebo and MBRP.
- ketamine and MBRP will significantly reduce subjective, endocrine, and physiological responses to stress (including cue exposure) as compared to placebo and MBRP.
- ketamine and MBRP will significantly increase mindfulness, as assessed by the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), as compared to placebo and MBRP.

研究组 & 干预措施
midazolam

干预措施: Midazolam (Drug)
Ketamine
0.5 mg/kg of ketamine IV over 40 minutes
干预措施: Ketamine (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Abstinence
时间窗: Abstinence will be assessed over 4 weeks starting at the last day of week 1 and continuing through the end of study at the last day of week 5
Abstinence is defined as 2 or greater weeks of no cocaine use, as ascertained by the TLFB and urine toxicology.
Number of Participants With Cocaine Use/Drop Out
时间窗: Over the four week period following discharge from the inpatient unit at Day 5
Number of participants who use cocaine and drop from study. During phase 2, patients will be assessed twice weekly by TLFB and urine toxicology for cocaine use. The day of first use will determine the length of time that transpired from discharge to the first lapse onto cocaine.
