Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Driving performance as assessed by standard deviation of lateral position (SDLP)

The STISIM Drive® M4000-R Console system will be used to assess driving performance, a state-of-the-art technology that has been independently validated to reflect real-world driving conditions. SDLP (measured in cm) will be determined during each drive. This measure is a composite index of lateral control and incorporates lane weaving, swerving, and over-correcting. SDLP is the gold standard of quantifying the magnitude of driving impairment from drugs and alcohol and has excellent predictive validity to actual driving. Scores range from 0 to no upper limit. Higher scores represent higher magnitude of driving impairment.

Time frame
Baseline, , 2-, 4-, 6-, 8-hours post dosing.
2

Number of Correct Trials on Paced Auditory Serial Addition Task (PASAT)

Computerized version of Paced Auditory Serial Addition Task will be administered to assess working memory performance. Will report the total correct trials out of 90 recorded (lower scores indicate worse performance).

Time frame
Baseline, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 hours post-dosing
3

Driving Under the Influence of Drugs (DRUID) application global impairment score

Acute cognitive and behavioral impairment will be assessed with global impairment score(range 0-100) on the DRUID app (higher scores indicate greater impairment).

Time frame
Baseline, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 hours post-dosing
4

Number of Correct Trials on the Digit Symbol Substitution Task (DSST)

Computerized version of Digit Symbol Substitution Task will be administered to assess psychomotor performance. Will report the total correct trials in 90 seconds (lower scores indicate worse performance).

Time frame
Baseline, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 hours post-dosing
