Clavulanic Acid (CLAV) and Cocaine Interaction Safety Study
Phase 1, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Assessment of Potential Interactions Between Intravenous Cocaine and Clavulanic Acid
Study Overview
Status
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
This is a prospective, placebo controlled inpatient crossover safety study of 3 doses (250 mg/day, 500 mg/day, 750 mg/day) of CLAV with an intravenous infusion of cocaine 40 mg. Subjects will be non-treatment seeking experienced cocaine dependent adults, ages 18-65 (N=12 completers, 21 estimated to enroll). Subjects will undergo a washout of the study drug for 5 half-lives between study drug administration sessions.
The primary objective will be to determine whether there are clinically significant adverse interactions between CLAV (250 mg/day; 500 mg/day; 750 mg/day) and intravenously administered cocaine in healthy, non-treatment seeking adults with cocaine use disorder.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Number of Participants With Severe Adverse Events (AEs)
Time Frame: 6 Days (Study Days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10)
|
Rates of occurrence of serious adverse events across the different treatments: Day 1-IV cocaine only; Day 2.3 and 4 treatment with either PBO, CLAV 250mg or CLAV 500mg depending on randomization; Day 5 CLAV 750mg, Day 10 Follow-up appointment See Adverse Event section for reporting of mild-moderate AEs. |
6 Days (Study Days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10)
|
Change in Heart Rate in Response to IV Cocaine Infusion With and Without CLAV Dosing
Time Frame: 4 Days (Study Days 2, 3, 4, 5)
|
IV cocaine was infused 1 hour following the dosing of PBO or CLAV 250mg, CLAV 500mg and CLAV 750 mg and vital signs were checked at -15min,-10min, -5 min preinfusion of IV cocaine and then every 2 min for the first 30 minutes, then every 15min through 150 minutes post-infusion.
The mean heart rate (HR) at 2 minutes post IV cocaine infusion and the maximum (max) change in heart rate from baseline pre-infusion are reported (peak heart rate post-infusion minus baseline heart rate pre-infusion) are reported.
|
4 Days (Study Days 2, 3, 4, 5)
|
Changes in Blood Pressure in Response to IV Cocaine With and Without CLAV Dosing
Time Frame: 4 Days (Study Days 2, 3, 4, 5)
|
IV cocaine was infused 1 hour following the dosing of PBO or CLAV 250mg, CLAV 500mg and CLAV 750 mg and vital signs were checked at -15min,-10min, -5 min pre-infusion of IV cocaine and then every 2 min for the first 30 minutes, then every 15min through 150 minutes post-infusion.
The mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) at 2 minutes post IV cocaine infusion are reported.
Also, the maximum (max) change in SBP snd DBP from baseline pre-infusion are reported (peak SBP or DBP post-infusion minus baseline SBP or DBP pre-infusion) are reported.

CLAV concentrations were measured 40 min and 70 min after ingestion of CLAV 250 mg or 500 mg. (The 70 min time point is 10 min after the IV cocaine infusion).The 250mg dose and the 500mg dose were given on different days per the randomization protocol: the 250mg dose was given on either day 2 or 3 and the 500mg dose was given on either day 3 or 4. The lowest level of detection of CLAV is 40ng/ml. A non-detectable level is reported as 0. |
3 Days (Study Days 2, 3, 4)
|

Time Frame: 3 days (Day 2, 3, 4)
|
The CLAV concentration after ingestion of 250mg CLAV minus the CLAV PK level after the 500 mg dose is reported at 40min and 70 min after ingestion
|
3 days (Day 2, 3, 4)

Pupil Pharmacodynamic Effects of Cocaine With Clavulanic Acid
Time Frame: 10 minutes pre-infusion and 10, 15, 30 and 45 min after cocaine infusion on Study Days 2, 3, and 4
|
Pupil Diameter (mm) was measured 10 minutes pre-infusion and 10, 15, 30 and 45 min after cocaine infusion.
Cocaine infusion was done 1 hour following ingestion of placebo (day 2), CLAV 250 mg (day3), or CLAV 500 mg (day 4).
Results are reported as median pupil diameter (mm) with interquartile range at different time points relative to the cocaine infusion as noted.
