A Pilot Trial of Dextroamphetamine for Methamphetamine Dependence (1D)
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute, February 2008
Sponsored by: California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute
Information provided by: California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00630682
  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness dextroamphetamine to help methamphetamine users quit or cut down on their use. The study lasts for 9 weeks. Eligible participants will attend research visits twice per week, and will receive individual counseling sessions once per week for all 9 weeks. 50% of the participants will receive the active medication while the other 50% will receive the placebo (sugar pill). Neither the participant or the study team will know if the participant is receiving the placebo or active drug.
