K1, LZP, and K2
Ketamine 0.41 (K1) followed by lorazepam (LZP) and then ketamine 0.71. Infusions are separated by 48 hours. This ordering allows for comparison between K1 and LZP, and between the post-K1 additive effects of LZP and K2.
LZP, K1, and K2
LZP followed by K1 and then K2. Infusions are separated by 48 hours. This order allows for comparison between LZP and K1.
K1, K2, and LZP
K1 followed by K2 and then LZP. Infusions are separated by 48 hours. This allows for within-subject comparison of the post-K1 additive effects of K2 and LZP.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 24 hours after infusion

Serial visual analogue scale (VAS) scores for craving elicited by cocaine cue: units on a scale (0-200), high is worse. Scores are obtained at baseline and at 24 hours after the infusion.

Ketamine Infusion 0.71 mg/kg Over 52 Minutes (K2)
n=8 Participants
Ketamine 0.71 mg/kg infused over 52 min (K2) Ketamine 0.71 mg/kg: 52 minute iv infusion of ketamine 0.71 mg/kg. This dose follows K1 in all 3 orderings.
Lorazepam Infusion 2 mg/kg Over 52 Minutes (LZP)
n=8 Participants
Lorazepam 2 mg infused over 52 minutes (LZP) Lorazepam 2 mg: 52 minute infusion of lorazepam 2 mg. This serves as an active control.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 24 hours post-infusion

Motivation score obtained from the University of Rhode Island Change Assessment (URICA). Scores are obtained at baseline and at 24 hours after each infusion. The scores are 0-13, with higher scores indicating greater motivation. The analysis is within-subject. Scores included below are means; higher scores represent higher motivation to quit than do lower scores.
