Brief Summary

Doxazosin, an alpha 1-adrenergic receptor antagonist, may play an important role in cocaine addiction in humans. This study will evaluate to what extent the prospective screening for catecholamine related polymorphisms for alpha 1 NE receptor/transporter, COMT and DBH as main targets predict the treatment efficacy of doxazosin for cocaine-using behavior.

    Cocaine positive urines

    2 weeks blocks throughout study

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Adverse Events

    Pre- and post study medication

Study Arms (2)

Doxazosin

EXPERIMENTAL

Doxazosin is a long-acting and selective alpha 1-NE blocker, which inhibits the binding of norepinephrine to alpha receptors in the autonomic nervous system.

Drug: Doxazosin

Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Matched placebo daily dosing.

Drug: Placebo

Interventions

Doxazosin is initiated at 4 mg/wk, and titrated up to a maximum of 8 mg/day over approximately 2 weeks. Participants will be maintained on 6mg-8mg daily dosing until week 13. The subjects will undergo the discontinuation from the study medication during weeks 14 -15.

Also known as: Cardura (Doxazosin Mesylate)
