The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether there are any interactions between the study drug and cocaine. Researchers will compare a treatment group and a placebo group to see if they experience any effects when administered cocaine after taking the treatment/placebo.
This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to compare the effects of SXC-2023 versus placebo control on intravenous cocaine's physiological and subjective effects in non-treatment seeking cocaine-experienced volunteers. Participants will be 18 to 59 years of age who have used cocaine by the smoked or intravenous route at least 6 times in the past 12 months prior to clinic intake, with at least one use within the past 3 months. Approximately twenty participants will be randomized to 2 groups, receiving either SXC-2023 or placebo treatment for 7 days. Adverse events and cardiovascular responses will be measured.

Total Number of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (Safety and Tolerability) of Oral SXC-2023 Co-administered With Intravenous Cocaine
Assessing the number of treatment emergent adverse events using the most recent version of the Medical Dictionary of Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) preferred terms. Adverse events were either reported by the participants or determined by clinically significant abnormal findings on: i. Physical examination ii. Measurement of vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure) iii. Clinical laboratory findings
