Trial Outcomes & Findings for Acute and Short-term Effects of Cannabidiol Admin on Cue-induced Craving in Drug-abstinent Heroin Dependent Humans (NCT NCT01605539)

NCT ID: NCT01605539

Last Updated: 2020-08-11

Results Overview

The VASC will be administered to assess potential variations in the subjective craving effects associated with heroin. Following the administration of the investigational drug, craving induced in response to the cue sessions and neutral cue sessions in the clinic will be measured. In this way, changes in craving from baseline (pre-cue to post-cue and pre-neutral cue to post-neutral cue) within each test visit) will be measured and compared. Scale range: 0 (no craving) - 10 (extreme craving). \*\*For test visits I, II and IV, there will be two cue sessions at each test visit: a neutral cue video (PN) and a drug-related cue video (PC) will be shown in random order at each visit. Before the beginning of each cue session (PN or PC), baseline measures will be taken. The same questionnaires will be administered immediately following the neutral cue video and the drug-related cue video. Thus there will be two sets of baselines and two sets of post cue measurements per test visit for test

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Test I and II: Change from pre-dose to approx. 6 hours post-dose; Change from pre-dose test visit I to pre-cue test visit IV

Subjects will be asked to complete the short version of the HCQ on their own time at home and bring it with them when they return for their next visit. Upon arrival to the clinic, subjects will also complete an HCQ with the coordinator to assess daily baseline cravings. This questionnaire will help us assess changes in craving generated outside of the clinical laboratory session from test visit 1 through test visit 4. Scale: 1 (strongly disagree) - 7 (strongly agree). Total Score Range: 14 (less cravings) - 98 (more cravings). \*\* The baseline measure for this outcome will be measured at the beginning of test session I prior to the administration of CBD/Placebo. Test measures will be taken approximately 6 hours following each dose for test sessions I, II and III. The final measure will be taken at test session IV, at the beginning of the session.

Timeframe: Test sessions 1,2,and 4: baseline 1, post cue (PC), baseline 2, post neutral cue (PN)

Blood pressure (mmHg) will be monitored throughout the time course of the study and changes from baseline will be studied across the various time points. \*\*For test visits I, II and IV, there will be two cue sessions at each test visit: a neutral cue video (PN) and a drug-related cue video (PC) will be shown in random order at each visit.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Test visit I, II and IV: baseline 1, post cue (PC), baseline 2, post neutral cue (PN)

Questionnaires will be used to measure subjective responses. Anxiety will be assessed using a visual analog scale for anxiety (VASA). Scale: 0 (not at all anxious) - 10 (extremely anxious). \*\*For test visits I, II and IV, there will be two cue sessions at each test visit: a neutral cue video (PN) and a drug-related cue video (PC) will be shown in random order at each visit. Before the beginning of each cue session (PN or PC), baseline measures will be taken for each variable. The same variables will be measured following the neutral cue video and the drug-related cue video. Thus there will be two sets of baselines and two sets of post cue measurements per test visit for test visits I, II and IV.

Timeframe: Test session 1, 2, and 4: baseline 1, post cue (PC), baseline 2, post neutral cue (PN)

Questionnaires will be used to measure subjective responses.

Scale: 0 (only slightly or not at all) - 5 (extremely). Total Score Range for Positive Affect Assessment (PAS): 10 (minimum) - 50 (maximum). Higher score reflects stronger positive affect. \*\*For test visits I, II and IV, there will be two cue sessions at each test visit: a neutral cue video (PN) and a drug-related cue video (PC) will be shown in random order at each visit.

Measure
Control
n=3 participants at risk
Subjects received pills that resemble the Cannabidiol capsule but do not have have its properties. Control: Subjects received a harmless, inactive pill to compare and validate the results of the other arms of the study
CBD Group
n=6 participants at risk
Subjects received 400 mg or 800mg of cannabidiol.The two arms (400 mg and 800 mg CBD groups) were combined for analysis as CPD Group because the sample size was too small and dividing the two arms would not have yielded a meaningful analysis. Subjects in Arm CBD received 400 mg or 800mg of Cannabidiol in each of the three test sessions
