Diabetes drug tested to curb cocaine cravings

NCT ID NCT06252623

Summary

This study aimed to see if a diabetes medication called exenatide (Bydureon) could help people with cocaine addiction by reducing the drug's rewarding effects. The plan was to test non-treatment-seeking adults with long-term cocaine use in a controlled lab setting, where they would choose between taking cocaine or receiving money while on the medication or a placebo. The study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled.
