Study Summary

The proposed research will focus on investigating the determinants and consequences of CAD via measurement of physiological, behavioral and subjective effects of physiologic and psychologic stress cues in CAD volunteers in the laboratory, and through examination of the effects of the effects of Aprepitant, an NK1 antagonist, on the above effects. This study will examine the effects of the above stress cues on cocaine and alcohol craving under acute Aprepitant dosing, and under placebo conditions. The study is a within-subjects crossover design using 24 subjects.

Primary Outcome

The VAS is a 100 mm line anchored at both ends. Participants mark where on the line their craving falls, with closer to 0 indicating less craving, and closer to 100 indicating more craving. Data are analyzed by using a ruler to determine the actual mm value of the participant mark.
