UH3 Varenicline for Cannabis Use Disorder

Study Description
Brief Summary:
Marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug. There is high demand for effective interventions for cannabis use disorder, yet few specific treatments for have been developed. This study will evaluate the efficacy of varenicline for reducing marijuana use in people who use marijuana frequently.

Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Estimated Enrollment : 174 participants
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double (Participant, Investigator)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: Varenicline for the Treatment of DSM 5 Cannabis Use Disorder in Adults
Actual Study Start Date : January 31, 2020
Estimated Primary Completion Date : December 1, 2022
Estimated Study Completion Date : May 1, 2023
Arms and Interventions
Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Varenicline
2 mg daily
Drug: Varenicline
Active medication
Other Name: Chantix

Placebo Comparator: Placebo
2 mg daily
Drug: Placebo
Inactive medication

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Efficacy of varenicline, compared with placebo, for reducing cannabis use: total number of use sessions at each weekly visit [ Time Frame: Treatment phase Weeks 6-12 ]
    Cannabis use reduction as measured by daily substance use logs and examined as the total number of use sessions at each weekly visit.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Safety and tolerability of varenicline, compared with placebo, when used for cannabis use disorder: frequency of treatment-emergent AEs [ Time Frame: 12 weeks (across the active treatment period) ]
    Comparing the frequency of treatment-emergent AEs between treatment groups. Of particular interest will be AEs leading to medication discontinuation and the occurrence of treatment-related serious AEs.

  • Current use of medications prescribed for mania or psychosis.
  • Current use of buproprion or nortryptiline.
  • Moderate or severe non-cannabis substance use disorders within the past 60 days with the exception of tobacco use disorder.
  • Individuals taking an investigational agent within the last 30 days before baseline visit.
  • Individuals with clinically significant medical disorders or lab abnormalities.
  • Any individual at screening with SGOT (AST) or SGPT (ALT) greater than 3 times the upper limit of normal and/or total bilirubin greater than two times the upper limit of normal.
  • Individuals with clinically significant cardiovascular disease in the past 6 months (e.g., myocardial infarction, CABG, PTCA, severe or unstable angina, serious arrhythmia, or any clinically significant ECG conduction abnormality.
  • Individuals with clinically significant cerebrovascular disease in the past 6 months such as TIA, CVA, or stroke.
  • Hypersensitivity to varenicline.
  • Individuals who have participated in the clinical trial of any investigative compound within the last 60 days
  • Individuals who are on probation or under a mandate to obtain treatment.
  • Individuals with plans to initiate or change frequency of attendance at self-help meetings (e.g. AA, NA).
