Phase1, STP7 Cocaine Drug-Drug Interaction Study
This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to compare the effects of STP7 (mavoglurant) vs placebo control on i.v. cocaine's physiological and subjective effects in non-treatment seeking, cocaine-experienced males or females participants between 18 and 59 years of age.

The primary objective of this study is to determine if there are clinically meaningful interactions between oral STP7 (mavoglurant) treatment concurrent with 20 and 40 mg i.v. cocaine infusions by measuring adverse events and cardiovascular responses including heart rate, blood pressure, and electrocardiogram (including corrected QT interval).

The secondary objectives are:

To evaluate whether administration of STP7 (mavoglurant) alters the pharmacokinetics of cocaine and/or its major metabolite, benzoylecgonine.
To determine the pharmacokinetic of STP7 (mavoglurant) administered at a dose of 200 mg twice a day.
To evaluate whether STP7 (mavoglurant) treatment alters the subjective effects of cocaine measured by Visual Analog Scales (VAS) and Brief Substance Craving Scale (BSCS).

A female study participant must meet one of the following criteria:  If of childbearing potential - agrees to use one of the accepted contraceptive regimens from at least 30 days prior to the first administration of the study medication, during the study, and for at least 30 days after the last dose of the study medication. An acceptable method of contraception includes one of the following:  i. Abstinence from heterosexual intercourse ii. Hormonal contraceptives (injectable/implant/insertable hormonal birth control products, transdermal patch) iii. Intrauterine device (with or without hormones) OR agrees to use a double barrier method (e.g. condom and spermicide) during the study and for at least 30 days after the last dose of the study medication. If a female of non-childbearing potential - should be surgically sterile (i.e. has undergone complete hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or tubal ligation/occlusion) or in a menopausal state (at least 1 year without menses), as confirmed by FSH levels.  A male study participant that engages in sexual activity that has the risk of pregnancy must agree to use a double barrier method (e.g. condom and spermicide) and agree to not donate sperm during the study and for at least 90 days after the last dose of the study medication.  Be able to comply with protocol requirements, rules and regulations of the study site, and be likely to complete all the study treatments.  Exclusion Criteria:  Have a current or past history of seizure disorder, including alcohol- or stimulant-related seizure, febrile seizure, or significant family history of idiopathic seizure disorder. Have any previous medically adverse reaction to cocaine, including loss of consciousness, chest pain, paranoid reaction or seizure. Have clinically significant findings in the opinion of an investigator based on the MINI (version 7.0) neuropsychiatric interview. Be pregnant or lactating. Have a sitting systolic blood pressure > 140 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure > 90 mmHg and heart rate > 100 beats per minute at screening and clinic intake.  Have a history of liver disease or current elevation of liver function test (LFT) values as follows:  aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >2x the upper limit of normal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >2 × the upper limit of normal.  Have a history of renal disease or current renal function test values as follows:  blood urea nitrogen (BUN) >2× ULN, or creatinine >1.5 mg/dL. Blood donation (excluding plasma donation) of approximately 500 mL within 56 days prior to screening. Plasma donation within 7 days prior to screening. Treatment with an investigational drug within 30 days or 5 times the half-life (whichever is longer) prior to screening. Have consumed grapefruit or other foods that inhibit or induce CYP3A4 within 7 days of Study Day 1. Have any clinically significant finding on medical history, physical examination, clinical laboratory test, vital signs or ECGs that contraindicate participation in the study. Have a history of suicide attempts or current or recent evidence of suicidal ideation in the past 12 months based on the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale. Have a positive urine drug screen upon clinic intake (Day -3) for any of the following drugs: alcohol, amphetamine/methamphetamine, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, buprenorphine, cocaine, fentanyl, 3,4 methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), methadone, phencyclidine/phenylcyclohexyl piperidine (PCP), propoxyphene, and opioids (e.g., codeine, heroin, morphine, oxycodone, etc.). Have used any prescription drugs within 14 days of clinic intake or non-prescription drugs or herbal remedies within 7 days of clinic intake. Be unable to distinguish between a 20 mg and 40 mg dose of cocaine i.v. based on the high effects VAS at either the 5 or 10 minute time point during the screening infusion. Have a positive serology for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), Hepatitis C antibody (HCVab), or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Have positive results for a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) test performed after screening is complete and participant is confirmed, but prior to admission. - HealthyVolunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers - Gender: All - MinimumAge: 18 Years - MaximumAge: 59 Years - StdAgeList: Adult
