Further study details as provided by California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • MDA will be metabolized to hydroxyamphetamine (HMA) and dihydroxyamphetamine (DHA) and will produce dose-dependent increases in neuroendocrine measures. [ Time Frame: 0-48 hours post dose ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • MDA will produce dose-dependent increases in self-report entactogen-like and stimulant like measures. [ Time Frame: 0-48 hours post dose ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 12
Study Start Date: January 2009

Intervention Details:
    Drug: MDA
    subjects will receive a single oral dose of MDA 98mg/70kg body weight
    Drug: Placebo
