Study Summary

Cocaine addiction continues to be an important public health problem in the US with a significant cost to the individual and society. Among substance abusers, cocaine use has been recognized as a significant problem especially in methadone-maintenance patients. In several studies, rates of cocaine use have been reported to range from 30 to over 60 percent of those in methadone maintenance programs (Condelli et al. 1991; Hunt et al. 1984; Kidorf and Stitzer 1993; Kosten et al. 1988). In these patients, cocaine use seems to be a predictor of poor clinical outcome (Hartel et al. 1995; Kosten et al. 1987a). The development of effective pharmacotherapies for cocaine use disorders, especially in the opioid-dependent population is of great importance. Unfortunately, such effective pharmacotherapies do not exist. 1. To determine the safety and tolerability of varenicline in cocaine-using methadone-stabilized subjects. 2. To determine if varenicline is efficacious in reducing cocaine-use in methadone-stabilized subjects.

Primary Outcome

Urine samples were obtained thrice-weekly and analyzed for the presence of cocaine metabolites. Levels that exceeded 300 ng / ml on each individual urine test were considered positive. The primary outcome measure was the proportions of positive cocaine urine results per week that was calculated by using the total number of completed tests as the denominator and the total number of positive tests for that week as the numerator. This data was subjected to Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) analysi
