Study Summary

To examine the clinical efficacy of sertraline (200 mg/day) alone or sertraline in combination with gabapentin. The purpose of this study is to examine whether the antidepressant sertraline alone or combined with gabapentin delays time to relapse relative to placebo in recently abstinent cocaine-dependent volunteers who are also depressed. In addition, whether depressive symptoms or genetic factors influence treatment response to the study medications will be examined. Our hypothesis is that those on combined sertraline-gabapentin will show a longer period of abstinence than those on sertraline alone or placebo.

Primary Outcome

Thrice-weekly urine samples were analyzed for the presence of cocaine/cocaine metabolite. Days to Relapse was defined as time to the second of two urine results consecutively positive for cocaine.

Interventions
