Brief Summary

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

This non-treatment study will examine how different dietary conditions may affect a person's response to commonly used drugs.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Volunteers (aim is 36 completers) will participate in a double-blind study conducted over a period of about 10-12 weeks including sessions for screening, food and beverage diary review, and drug exposure sessions. During screening, participants will be asked questions about participants' general characteristics including demographic information, mood, and personality. Participants will also be examined to determine medical eligibility. Eligible participants will complete diary sessions (4 total), experimental sessions (12 total) and end of study sessions (2 sessions). At food diary sessions, participants will be asked to eliminate certain foods and beverages from participants' diet, record daily food and beverage consumption and attend the laboratory approximately two times to discuss participants' food diaries. At these sessions, participants will orally ingest capsules containing commonly prescribed medications, over-the-counter medications, and/or placebo and will receive study capsules in blister packs which participants will take three times daily throughout the study. During experimental sessions, food and beverage restrictions will remain in place, participants will continue thrice daily capsule administration and will also be exposed to experimental test sessions. Participants will report to the laboratory 2-3 times weekly in order to ingest study capsules, receive blister packs and fill out questionnaires. After leaving the laboratory, participants will be asked to fill out surveys remotely in order to describe the effects of that session's capsules on mood and preference. After completing the first six sessions, participants will receive a mid-study bonus and have a 1-week break from attending sessions, during which participants will continue to swallow capsules thrice daily. Participants will return to the lab and complete two food diary sessions. After this, participants will complete experimental test sessions 7-12, where participants will again swallow capsules and complete questionnaires. After completing experimental test sessions 1-12, participants will complete a final experimental test session to facilitate the study assessment of subjective monetary value of drug conditions. Finally, participants will return to the laboratory to receive a bonus payment for study completion and to complete an end-of-study questionnaire.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

CROSSOVER

This is a within-subjects design. This study involves administration of drug conditions in different dose sequence orders. All participants will receive the same drug conditions, but the order in which the participants receive the drug conditions will be different across participants. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of several different dose sequences. As part of instructions during the informed consent process, volunteers will be given a list of drugs volunteers may receive rather than informing volunteers only of the specific drugs being administered. More drugs are listed than will be administered to increase the degree to which volunteers are "blind" to the drugs being studied. Researchers will be blind to the drug conditions on any given session because a pharmacy member with no participant interaction will assign the randomized dose sequence and prepare the study drugs.

Study Groups

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

Caffeine Maintenance

All participants will receive the same drug conditions, but the order in which the participants receive the drug conditions will be different across participants. Thus, comparisons of the drug conditions on mood and choice will be compared within-subjects (e.g., between drug and placebo). During the caffeine maintenance condition, participants will ingest 200 mg of caffeine orally in capsules three times daily.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Blinded drug dose conditions

Intervention Type DRUG

Capsules will contain commonly prescribed or over-the-counter drugs or placebo. Capsules in this study may contain sedatives, muscle relaxants, or anti-anxiety medications, stimulant drugs/weight loss medications, or antihistamines which must remain blinded for the purposes of this study.

Placebo Maintenance

All participants will receive the same drug conditions, but the order in which the participants receive the drug conditions will be different across participants. Thus, comparisons of the drug conditions on mood and choice will be compared within-subjects (e.g., between drug and placebo). The placebo maintenance condition will be identical to the caffeine maintenance condition, with the exception that the thrice daily capsules will contain placebo (microcrystalline cellulose) rather than containing caffeine.
