Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

There are mixed reports on nicotine's effects on ethanol-induced impairment in cognitive performance and behavior in humans. The main objective of this study is to characterize the interactive effects of acute intravenous (IV) ethanol and nicotine administration on cognition and behavior in healthy smokers. The general hypothesis is that nicotine will attenuate the negative effects of ethanol on cognition and subjective stimulant/sedative effects of ethanol.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

intravenous ethanol placebo and nicotine infusions

Each subject will participate in three separate interventions. Each intervention will include three nicotine infusions (placebo and 2 active conditions). The interventions will differ on the ethanol infusion: placebo or one of two ethanol concentrations.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Intravenous ethanol placebo plus nicotine infusions

Intervention Type DRUG

nicotine infusions: 1) placebo; 2) nicotine 0.5 mg/70 kg; 3) nicotine 1.0 mg/70 kg

intravenous ethanol 40% and nicotine infusions

Each subject will participate in three separate interventions. Each intervention will include three nicotine infusions (placebo and 2 active conditions). The interventions will differ on the ethanol infusion: placebo or one of two ethanol concentrations.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

intravenous ethanol 40mg% plus nicotine infusions

Intervention Type DRUG

nicotine infusions: 1) placebo; 2) nicotine 0.5 mg/70 kg; 3) nicotine 1.0 mg/70 kg

intravenous ethanol 100% and nicotine infusions

Each subject will participate in three separate interventions. Each intervention will include three nicotine infusions (placebo and 2 active conditions). The interventions will differ on the ethanol infusion: placebo or one of two ethanol concentrations.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

intravenous ethanol 100mg% plus nicotine infusions

Intervention Type DRUG

nicotine infusions: 1) placebo; 2) nicotine 0.5 mg/70 kg; 3) nicotine 1.0 mg/70 kg
