Methamphetamines clinical trials at University of California Health

5 in progress, 3 open to eligible people

Showing trials for

  • Expression of Stress Markers During Meth Treatment (EXPRESS+)

    open to eligible males ages 18-45

    This is a non-randomized behavioral trial that aims to investigate whether changes in inflammatory and type I IFN expression coincide with changes in methamphetamine use and viral load over the course of 12 weeks in HIV-positive people assigned male at birth with and without methamphetamine use disorder.

  • Ketamine-Assisted Recovery for Methamphetamine Use Disorder & HIV

    open to eligible people ages 18-69

    The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether it is possible to use intramuscular (IM) ketamine in combination with psychotherapy to treat moderate-to-severe methamphetamine use disorder (MeUD) in publicly insured patients with or at-risk for HIV disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do publicly insured patients find ketamine-assisted psychotherapy feasible and acceptable as a potential treatment for MeUD? - Is IM ketamine safe and tolerable among patients with MeUD? Participants will: - Receive 3 monitored doses of IM ketamine - Have 3 preparation and 4 integration psychotherapy visits - Report their daily amounts of methamphetamine used prior to, during, and up to 3 months following the intervention

  • Naltrexone/Bupropion for the Treatment of Methamphetamine Use Disorder

    open to eligible people ages 18-65

    The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of extended release naltrexone plus bupropion XL (XR-NTX/BUP-XL) compared to matched injectable and oral placebo (iPLB/oPLB) in reducing methamphetamine (MA) use in individuals with moderate or severe methamphetamine use disorder (MUD) seeking to stop or reduce MA use.

  • CHAMPION: Combining HIV And Meth Prevention and Treatment Interventions Optimized for HIV-Negative MSM

    Sorry, not yet accepting patients

    The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to pilot test new mobile health (mHealth) interventions to improve PrEP adherence among HIV-negative men who have sex with men (MSM) with mild to moderate methamphetamine use disorder (MUD). The CHAMPION intervention combines two mHealth tools-PrEPAPP and CBT4CBT-to address both HIV prevention and MUD treatment needs in this population. The study's specific aims are: - To evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the CHAMPION intervention based on treatment retention and engagement rates. - To examine the preliminary efficacy the CHAMPION intervention to improve PrEP adherence, as measured by dried blood spot (DBS) tests compared to the waitlist control group.

  • Inflammation in Methamphetamine and STIs (IMSTI)

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    This clinical trial aims to investigate the effects of a decline in methamphetamine use on rectal inflammatory cytokine levels, substance use contexts, and HIV/STI risk behavior. This clinical trial also seeks to evaluate joint effects of methamphetamine use and rectal gonorrhea/chlamydia infection on rectal inflammatory cytokine levels. The proposed trial will consist of 40 MSM, half with rectal gonorrhea/chlamydia infection at enrollment (n=20), with methamphetamine use disorder that will receive contingency management for methamphetamine reduction. Following baseline measurement, participants will be observed over the course of 8 weeks, where participants will complete behavioral surveys, provide urine for drug testing, and rectal samples for measurement of rectal inflammatory cytokine levels.
