This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), provides $634,048 to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation to conduct a human laboratory study on advancing troriluzole as a treatment for methamphetamine use disorder (MUD). The overarching goal is to translate preclinical findings on troriluzole's effects on reducing methamphetamine intake and seeking behaviors into clinical evidence. The research will enroll 40 non-treatment seeking human subjects with MUD alone or co-morbid MUD and opioid use disorder (OUD) to assess the reinforcing effects of intravenous methamphetamine following treatment with varying doses of troriluzole. This study aims to provide initial clinical evidence that troriluzole can reduce the reinforcing and other abuse-related effects of methamphetamine, as well as generate basic science information about the glutamatergic mechanisms underlying methamphetamine's pharmacodynamic effects in humans.
