NCT ID: NCT03078075

Last Updated: 2021-05-03

Results Overview

Treatment response is defined as 'Responder' and 'Non-Responder'. Responder : Participant who meet responder criterion by providing at least 3 out of a possible 4 methamphetamine-negative urine tests at the end of stage 1 (weeks 5-6). Non-Responder: All other participants without 3 or 4 methamphetamine-negative UDS (Urine Drug Screen).

Participant Flow

All participants were randomized to either the AMC arm or the Placebo arm in Week 1; thus all are represented in the two Stage 1 categories (total 403). All participants also are represented in Stage 2. Some participants were re-randomized at Week 7 and some were not; thus the four Stage 2 categories also total 403.

Those participants randomized to the Placebo arm in Stage 1 (Week 1) who were non-responders at week 5 and 6, and then re-randomized to AMC at stage 2.
Stage 1 Placebo Non-responders Not Re-randomized at Stage 2
Those participants randomized to the Placebo arm in Stage 1 (Week 1) who were non-responders at week 5 and 6 and then not re-randomized at stage 2, remained in the Placebo arm.
Stage 1 Placebo Responders Not Re-randomized at Stage 2
Those participants randomized to the Placebo arm in Stage 1 (Week 1) who were responders at week 5 and 6 and then not re-randomized at stage 2, remained in the Placebo arm.
Stage 1 AMC Remaining on AMC at Stage 2

Twelve urine drug screens are expected within each stage. The range of possible scores are 0-100 and higher score indicates better outcomes.

Those participants who were originally randomized to the Placebo arm in Stage 1 (and may or may not have been deemed Non-Responders at Study Weeks 5-6) and were not Re-Randomized, so they remained in the Placebo arm throughout the study (Weeks 1-12).
Stage 2 Not Re-Randomized AMC
All participants who were randomized to the Active Medication Combination arm in Stage 1 (Week 1) remained in the AMC arm throughout the study (Weeks 1-12).
Mean Change of Overall Functioning as Measured by Treatment Effectiveness Assessment (TEA) at Stage 1
2.2 score on a scale
Standard Error 1.0
6.5 score on a scale
Standard Error 1.5

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: week 7, week 12

Population: As per study protocol, stage 2 secondary outcomes are reported for only re-randomized groups (Placebo and AMC). Data for Not Re-Randomized groups at stage 2 were not included for the main analysis, thus not reported

The Treatment Effectiveness Assessment is a 4-item self-administered assessment that uses a Likert scale (1-10) to document changes in four life domains: substance use, health, lifestyle, and community and is collected at screening, mid-treatment (Week 6 Visit 2) and end-of-treatment (Week 12 Visit 2). Possible scores range from 4-40, with higher scores indicating a higher overall functioning.
