NCT00617201

Brief Summary

This placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized pilot clinical trial will evaluate atomoxetine (Strattera®) for the treatment of cocaine dependence. Cocaine-dependent individuals, who are healthy and are seeking treatment for their substance abuse, will be randomized to receive either atomoxetine (n=25) or a matched-placebo (n=25) during a trial lasting 12 weeks; there will be a double-blind, ascending dose lead-in order to achieve maintenance on the assigned active dose safely. Contingency management procedures will be used to reinforce attendance and compliance with study procedures. Primary outcome measures will include urinalysis data assessing cocaine use.
