Trial Outcomes & Findings for Impact of Sustained Release d-Amphetamine on Choice Between Cocaine and a Non-Drug Reinforcer (NCT NCT02383043)

NCT ID: NCT02383043

Last Updated: 2019-04-11

Results Overview

The reinforcing effects of cocaine were determined using a modified progressive ratio procedure (Lile et al., 2016) in which subjects made 9 choices between each available cocaine dose and money (US$6.00). Reinforcing effects are measured for each cocaine dose during both d-amphetamine and placebo maintenance.
