研究概览
简要总结
The objective of this study is to investigate the interaction between marijuana and quetiapine, with the goal of using this information to improve marijuana treatment outcome.
详细描述
The purpose of this study is to determine if quetiapine decreases marijuana relapse in a controlled lab setting. For the purposes of this model, relapse is defined as a return to marijuana use after a period of abstinence. The study will utilize an inpatient/outpatient, counter-balanced design, with each participant maintained on placebo and quetiapine (200 mg/day) for 18 days. Participants will begin taking capsules as outpatients so that the dose can be incremented prior to the inpatient phase. While inpatient, participants will have the opportunity to self-administer placebo (0.0%) or active marijuana (6.2%) 6 times per day, depending on the study day. Our laboratory model, which has distinguished the effects of a range of medications on marijuana withdrawal and relapse, will provide important information on the effect of quetiapine as a potential short-term pharmacotherapy to facilitate abstinence in the initial stages of marijuana treatment.

研究组 & 干预措施
Quetiapine (200mg/day), Marijuana (6.2%, 0.0%)
Quetiapine (200mg/day): Packaged medication in size 00 opaque capsules with riboflavin filler. Study capsules (200 mg) were administered 2 times per day ((1100 and 2300 hours).
Marijuana: Participants each received a single marijuana cigarette (provided by the National Institute on Drug Abuse) at each smoking occasion. Marijuana cigarettes were stored frozen in an airtight container and humidified at room temperature for 24 h prior to use.

结局指标
主要结局
Measure of Relapse: Change in Puffs Chosen Between Baseline and Relapse Phase
时间窗: Days 1-3 (Baseline) and Days 6-8 (Relapse Phase)
This is a measure of marijuana self-administration and relapse since each initial puff costs $10 and is a burden to overcome just to smoke. Over each 3 day period, the puffs chosen by each participant is averaged for a single value.
