Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effects of Genotype on Resting State Connectivity During Methamphetamine Administration (NCT NCT03973489)

NCT ID: NCT03973489

Last Updated: 2024-11-15

Results Overview

Pearson correlation coefficient (r) was used to calculate cortico-striatal and intra-striatal functional connectivity during resting state. These r values were then converted into Fisher's Z-scores using the transformation: z = arctanh(r) = 0.5\*ln((1+r)/(1-r)). Fisher's Z-transformation linearizes Pearson correlations and allows for statistical analysis. The Z-scores represent the strength and direction of functional connectivity between brain regions. A Z-score of 0 represents the population mean for functional connectivity between brain regions. Larger Z-scores indicate stronger connectivity (potentially indicating greater activation or association), while smaller (negative) Z-scores indicate weaker connectivity, which could suggest reduced synchronization or disrupted brain function. Z-scores above or below ±1 standard deviation from the mean may indicate notable deviations from the expected connectivity patterns in the population.

Wild Type (WT) MUD Group: Methamphetamine First, Then Placebo
Wild Type (WT) Group: individuals who are WT for the TAAR1 gene Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): On visits 2 and 3, subjects will undergo a baseline MRI scan approximately 1 hour after the start of each visit followed by drug administration (placebo or MA) and a second scan 1.5 hours after that. Methamphetamine Hydrochloride Tablets: Study participants will receive an oral dose of methamphetamine hydrochloride on one of two scan days and an identical looking placebo in tablet form on the other scan day. Drug type will be randomized between the two visits. Participants will receive the following doses of methamphetamine hydrochloride in accordance with their weight: if weight is between 50-60 kg, 15 mg dose of methamphetamine hydrochloride will be administered. Similarly, for 60-80 kg, 20 mg dose; 80-100 kg, 25 mg dose; and 100+ kg, 30 mg dose. Placebo oral tablet: Study participants will receive an oral dose of methamphetamine hydrochloride on one of two scan days and an identical looking placebo in tablet form on the other scan day. Drug type will be randomized between the two visits.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 hour prior to and 1.5 hours post study drug administration on visits 2 and visit 3 (randomized to placebo or methamphetamine; washout period between visit 2 and 3 was at least 3 days)

Population: Participants were excluded from further analyses if they did not complete pre and post imaging outcome measures during visit. Placebo and methamphetamine administration include individuals who completed the respective visit at either the first or second intervention.

Pearson correlation coefficient (r) was used to calculate cortico-striatal and intra-striatal functional connectivity during resting state. These r values were then converted into Fisher's Z-scores using the transformation: z = arctanh(r) = 0.5\*ln((1+r)/(1-r)). Fisher's Z-transformation linearizes Pearson correlations and allows for statistical analysis. The Z-scores represent the strength and direction of functional connectivity between brain regions. A Z-score of 0 represents the population mean for functional connectivity between brain regions. Larger Z-scores indicate stronger connectivity (potentially indicating greater activation or association), while smaller (negative) Z-scores indicate weaker connectivity, which could suggest reduced synchronization or disrupted brain function. Z-scores above or below ±1 standard deviation from the mean may indicate notable deviations from the expected connectivity patterns in the population.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 2.5 hours prior to and between 1-4 hours post study drug administration on visits 2 and visit 3 (randomized to placebo or methamphetamine; washout period between visit 2 and 3 was at least 3 days)

Population: Participants were excluded from further analyses if they did not complete all pre and post imaging measures during visit. Placebo and methamphetamine administration include individuals who completed the respective visit at either the first or second intervention.

The Morphine Benzedrine group (MBG) scale is a subscale of the Addiction Research Center Inventory (ARCI-49), a 49 item questionnaire consisting of true/false items, which measures the euphoric effects of the study drug. The MBG scale ranges from 0-16 with higher numbers indicating more euphoria. The questionnaire was administered every hour for four hours following study drug administration and the highest score during this time is considered the post drug administration score.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 hours prior to and 3 hours post study drug administration on visits 2 and visit 3 (randomized to placebo or methamphetamine; washout period between visit 2 and 3 was at least 3 days)

Population: Participants were excluded from further analyses if they did not complete pre and post imaging measures during visit. Placebo and methamphetamine administration include individuals who completed the respective visit at either the first or second intervention.

Current craving for methamphetamine was assessed using the Stimulant Craving Questionnaire (STCQ), which is a 10-item self-report measure that uses a seven-point scale, with answers ranging from 0 ("strongly disagree") to 6 ("strongly agree"). A composite score was computed by averaging the responses for all 10 items after reverse scoring items 4 and 7. Scores range from 0 to 6 with higher scores representing higher craving for methamphetamine.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 hours prior to and 3 hours post study drug administration on visits 2 and visit 3 (randomized to placebo or methamphetamine; washout period between visit 2 and 3 was at least 3 days)

Population: Participants were excluded from further analyses if they did not complete pre and post imaging measures during visit. Placebo and methamphetamine administration include individuals who completed the respective visit at either the first or second intervention. One participant (MUD, CV, post placebo administration) did not complete the final set of data but did complete both imaging measures.

Two computer tests were administered to measure how each medication intervention effects cognitive functioning. The tests administered included the Rapid Visual Information Processing Task (RVIPT), a 6 minute test of sustained attention in which participants are requested to detect target sequences of digits and the Digit Symbol Substitution Task (DSST), a 2 minute test of psychomotor speed and sustained attention consisting of digit-symbol pairs followed by a list of digits where the subject identifies the symbol that corresponds to each digit as fast as possible. The number of correct responses within the allowed time is measured. Higher scores on both tasks indicate better performance.

Healthy Controls (HC) with no substance use disorders and Wild Type (WT) variant of the TAAR1 genotype prior to receiving placebo during visit. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): On visits 2 and 3, subjects will undergo a baseline MRI scan approximately 1 hour after the start of each visit followed by drug administration (placebo or MA) and a second scan 1.5 hours after that. Methamphetamine Hydrochloride Tablets: Study participants will receive an oral dose of methamphetamine hydrochloride on one of two scan days and an identical looking placebo in tablet form on the other scan day. Drug type will be randomized between the two visits. Participants will receive the following doses of methamphetamine hydrochloride in accordance with their weight: if weight is between 50-60 kg, 15 mg dose of methamphetamine hydrochloride will be administered. Similarly, for 60-80 kg, 20 mg dose; 80-100 kg, 25 mg dose; and 100+ kg, 30 mg dose. Placebo oral tablet: Study participants will receive an oral dose of methamphetamine hydrochloride on one of two scan days and an identical looking placebo in tablet form on the other scan day. Drug type will be randomized between the two visits.
HC Group, WT Genotype, Post Placebo Administration
n=5 Participants
Healthy Controls (HC) with no substance use disorders and Wild Type (WT) variant of the TAAR1 genotype after placebo administration during visit. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): On visits 2 and 3, subjects will undergo a baseline MRI scan approximately 1 hour after the start of each visit followed by drug administration (placebo or MA) and a second scan 1.5 hours after that. Methamphetamine Hydrochloride Tablets: Study participants will receive an oral dose of methamphetamine hydrochloride on one of two scan days and an identical looking placebo in tablet form on the other scan day.
