Popis: | Prior work by our group has shown the feasibility, safety, and validity of a multi-day, multi-dose paradigm of self-regulated cocaine administration in humans. The current work sought to consolidate these methods in a single-day design focused on reducing logistical complexity, decreasing research burden to human subjects, and increasing suitability for medication development designs. Methods: Eleven experienced cocaine users participated in a 6-hour, single-day design, consisting of one safety/eligibility and three experimental cocaine periods (during which subjects were allowed to self-administer 8, 16, and 32 mg/70 kg cocaine doses under a fixed-ratio 1: 5 minute timeout schedule). Changes in cocaine-induced cardiovascular response, self-administration behavior, and subjective effects were assessed. Results: Procedures were well tolerated by participants, and no significant adverse events were noted. Significant (p |
