Aripiprazole Treatment for Methamphetamine Dependence Among High-Risk MSM

This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of the medication aripiprazole for methamphetamine-using MSM, and will assess efficacy, acceptability, tolerability, safety, and adherence to study medication.

Estimated Enrollment: 90
Study Start Date: April 2008
Estimated Study Completion Date: January 2011
Estimated Primary Completion Date: January 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

For those not in the know, MSM=Men who have Sex with Men.
 
Aripiprazole is a partial agonist at the DA receptor and is a newer antisychotic. Seems like a a solid idea for a study. Too bad its not for the occasional straight guy + Adderrall + 3 hour porn session study or I'd be all over it.
