Open Label Pharmaco- Magnetic Resonance Spectrography (MRS) Study of Clavulanic Acid
NCT03986762 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The main purpose of this study is to determine how the study drug, clavulanic acid, affects glutamate in the brain using Magnetic Resonance (MR/MRI) scans. In this study, subjects will receive the study drug, clavulanic acid and undergo 4 MRI scans. This is being studied to determine the correct dosing of clavulanic acid, and to gather data so future studies can be done to find out if this drug is helpful in treating cocaine dependence. Currently, there is no available medication treatment for cocaine dependence.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03986762
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03986762 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as Phase 1, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 9 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Temple University, which has 226 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Cocaine-Related Disorders appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Clavulanic Acid is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03986762 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Pennsylvania. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll. Verify current status, eligibility criteria, and contact details directly at ClinicalTrials.gov, and discuss any participation decision with your own healthcare provider.
