This study will evaluate the efficacy of ondansetron compared with placebo in the treatment of cocaine dependence.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

We propose to conduct a 9 week randomized, controlled clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of ondansetron 4 mg twice daily compared with placebo (total N = 100/group × 2 groups = 200 individuals randomized, 400 total subjects will be consented), provided as an adjunct to manual-driven, structured CBT + BBCET in the treatment of cocaine dependence.
