Trial Outcomes

Change in Marijuana Withdrawal Checklist (MWC)

"32-item checklist evaluating potential symptoms of cannabis withdrawal, lower values reflect lesser severity of withdrawal symptoms (lower scores represent a better outcome).~Min: 0 Max: 96" (NCT01618656)
Timeframe: The MWC was administered on Day 0, Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, and Day 4 (during the inpatient phase when withdrawal peaks) to assess change from baseline (Day 0). The scores from each time point and subject were calculated to report the mean score for each arm.

Interventionscore on a scale (Mean)
PF-04457845 (4mg by Mouth Daily for 4 Weeks)6.04
Placebo (Sugar Pill, by Mouth Daily for 4 Weeks)11

Change in Polysomnography

Polysomnography (PSG) is a comprehensive reading of biophysiological changes that occur during sleep, including identification of sleep stage. A mean and standard deviation of their data points during sleep stages were calculated to determine change from baseline to the end of study treatment. (NCT01618656)
Timeframe: Polysomnography was collected two nights prior to baseline visit, for three nights during study treatment and two nights after four weeks of study treatment. A mean was calculated to assess change from baseline (Day 0).

Interventionminutes (Mean)
PF-04457845 (4mg by Mouth Daily for 4 Weeks)89.56
Placebo (Sugar Pill, by Mouth Daily for 4 Weeks)69.29

Change in Self Reported Cannabis Use at the End of 4 Weeks

"Subject quantifies and reports frequency of cannabis use prior to study participation and during the 4 week period. Lower scores reflect less cannabis usage, while higher scores reflect more frequent usage.~Min: 0 Max: undeterminable, varies per patient and their usage." (NCT01618656)
Timeframe: Administered weekly for 4 weeks to assess change from baseline (Day 0). The scores from each time point and subject were calculated to report the mean score for each arm.

Interventionjoints per day (Mean)
PF-04457845 (4mg by Mouth Daily for 4 Weeks)0.40
Placebo (Sugar Pill, by Mouth Daily for 4 Weeks)1.27

Change in THC-COOH Quantification at the End of 4 Weeks

Subjects provide urine samples to quantify levels of THC. (NCT01618656)
Timeframe: Samples obtained weekly for 4 weeks to assess change from baseline (Day 0). The results from each time point and subject were calculated to report the mean score for each arm.

Interventionng/mL (Mean)
PF-04457845 (4mg by Mouth Daily for 4 Weeks)265.55
Placebo (Sugar Pill, by Mouth Daily for 4 Weeks)657.92
