Trial Outcomes & Findings for Marijuana Effects on Simulated Driving Performance (NCT NCT03699540)
NCT ID: NCT03699540
Last Updated: 2024-07-31
Results Overview
Standard deviation of lane position (SDLP) of the car is the amount of weaving/swerving of the car in and out of the lane. It is a frequent metric for assessing driving ability.
COMPLETED
PHASE1
10 participants
This outcome was recorded in regular intervals after drug administration for the duration of the session (approx. 9 hrs) and a peak score was calculated across all these time intervals.

Participant Flow
Participants were recruited via internet postings (e.g., Craigslist) and locally posted flyers.
Participants meeting all I/E criteria were invited to enroll. Unique, randomized dose orders were created for each participant. The study utilized a within-subject, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-dummy, double-blind design.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: This outcome was recorded in regular intervals after drug administration for the duration of the session (approx. 9 hrs) and a peak score was calculated across all these time intervals.Population: Per Protocol population, defined as participants completing the experimental drug conditions.
Standard deviation of lane position (SDLP) of the car is the amount of weaving/swerving of the car in and out of the lane. It is a frequent metric for assessing driving ability.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: This outcome (VAS score) was recorded in regular intervals after drug administration for the duration of the session (approx. 9 hrs) and a peak score was calculated across all these time intervals.Population: Per Protocol population, defined as participants completing the experimental drug conditions.
Participants rated their subjective response on a standardized VAS scale (0 to 100). Higher scores indicate worse outcome/greater impairment. Raw data transformed to peak scores.
