Safety Study of a Disrupted Adenovirus (Ad) Serotype Cocaine Vaccine for Cocaine-dependent Individuals
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and preliminary efficacy of an anti-cocaine vaccine called dAd5GNE in cocaine-dependent individuals. It uses the concept of a vaccine to treat the neurological effects of cocaine by evoking "immunity" to prevent the effects of cocaine on the brain.
Opioid/Benzodiazepine Polydrug Abuse: Aim 3
In this study, the investigators will measure affective, neurocognitive and behavioral outcomes related to chronic use of opioids and benzodiazepines (screening phase), and in response to the administration of the opioid morphine, the benzodiazepine alprazolam, morphine then alprazolam, alprazolam then morphine, morphine+alprazolam simultaneously, and placebo (laboratory pharmacology experiment). The latter …
Neuroimaging Correlates and Feasibility of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to Improve Smoking Cessation Outcomes in Veterans With Comorbid PTSD
Tobacco use is the number one preventable cause of the death in the United States, and is high among US Veterans, and those who have experienced trauma are more likely to smoke. Despite the efficacy of current evidence-based treatments for smoking cessation, there is a critical need for alternative treatments. …
Smoking Cessation Behavioral Treatment Study
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two behavioral interventions on smoking behavior - Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). MORE is a behavioral therapy that integrates mindfulness training to modify reward processes. CBT is a therapy designed to help individuals understand how …
Effects of Mindfulness Meditation in Virtual Reality on Craving and Smoking Cessation
Investigators seek to propose a non-drug therapeutic alternative, namely a mindfulness meditation protocol based on virtual reality training in order to induce progressive modifications of various indicators of craving. The study hypothesis is that the practice of mindfulness meditation in a virtual reality environment reduces the craving induced by cues …
5-HT2A Agonist Psilocybin in the Treatment of Tobacco Use Disorder
This is a multi-site, double-blind, randomized clinical trial of the 5-HT2A receptor agonist psilocybin for smoking cessation. Four sites with experience in conducting psilocybin research will be involved in this trial: Johns Hopkins University (JHU), the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), and New York University (NYU). The proposed study …
Nicotine Regulation for Dual Users of E-cigarettes and Cigarettes
Cigarette smoking remains the leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality in the US. Use of multiple tobacco products is becoming increasingly prevalent, with dual use of e-cigarettes and cigarettes representing the most common combination. Though e-cigarettes are not without risk, completely switching from cigarettes to e-cigarettes likely reduces risk …
Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound for Tobacco Use Disorder: High Resolution Targeting of the Human Insula
The goal of this clinical trial is to to inhibit the dorsal anterior insula (dAI) with low intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) to determine the causal role for the dAI in smoking cue induced craving in individuals with tobacco use disorder (TUD); smoking cue induced craving is a clinically important behavior …
Increasing Smoking Cessation Success Through Sleep-amplified Memory Consolidation
The goal of this subproject is to examine the hypothesized improvement of treatment with chess-based training and sleep enhancement, both together and on their own, in smokers. Participants will undergo fMRI measurements, sleep monitoring. They will then be assigned to one of the four experimental groups, including high-intensity interval training …
Phase II: Scalable Digital Delivery of CRAFT Training for Professionals to Maximize Treatment Rates of OUD in Families
The goal of this project is to demonstrate digital training efficacy at scale and commercial readiness. This pilot project will advance piloted digital training programs for CRAFT and maximize scalability. In this project, investigators will: Aim 1: Optimize the digital CRAFT training product based on data and feedback from the …
