      Smartphone Apps for Opioid Use Disorder

      Little Rock, Arkansas
      The proposed clinical trial would evaluate the use of smartphone applications ("apps", which have well-established efficacy in reducing cigarette and alcohol use) to prevent relapse among patients receiving medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder. In addition to standard app-based self-monitoring of drug use and personalized feedback, project innovation is enhanced by the proposed use of location-tracking technology for targeted, personalized intervention when participants enter self-identified areas of high risk for relapse. Furthermore, the proposed sub-study would use longitudinal functional neuroimaging to elucidate the brain-cognition relationships underlying individual differences in treatment outcomes, offering broad significance for understanding and enhancing the efficacy of this and other app-based interventions.

      Values-Based Intervention for Opioid Use Disorder

      Bedford, Massachusetts
      The US Veteran community continues to feel the impact of the overdose crisis, and opioid use disorder (OUD) diagnoses among Veterans continue to rise. Medication treatment (e.g., buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone) helps prevent relapse and reduce overdose risk, but does not help with the psychological, social, and functional challenges of early recovery. Therapies that focus on interpersonal functioning and community integration may help improve quality of life during this high-risk period. This research project will create and test a brief, values-based treatment to help Veterans improve their interpersonal functioning and community integration during early treatment. This study will have three phases. Phase 1 will involve the development of the treatment and adaptation using interviews with Veterans and VA Providers. Phase 2 will test the treatment with a group of 10 Veterans to make sure the treatment can be delivered as intended, and to make changes to the treatment or study procedures based on Veteran feedback. Finally, Phase 3 will test the treatment compared to usual treatment in a pilot randomized controlled trial with a group of 40 Veterans. This final phase will provide additional information about Veterans' experience of the treatment and study procedures and the preliminary effects of the treatment on quality of life and related outcomes.

      Probenecid for Opioid Withdrawal

      Calgary, Alberta
      The proposed clinical trial will address the problem of opioid withdrawal. Opioids are essential for pain-relief in the short term, but their continued use is associated with a host of adverse effects. People living with chronic pain who were initiated on opioid therapy now find themselves with a major life-changing problem - dependence on opioid medications. Opioid withdrawal symptoms are a key barrier to decreasing or stopping their opioid medication. Currently, there are few medications that ameliorate the symptoms of opioid withdrawal. This problem is a major part of the opioid crisis in Canada, and impacts people across all demographics and socioeconomic status. A misconception is that only individuals with opioid use disorder are susceptible to opioid withdrawal; on the contrary, appropriate use of prescription opioids to manage pain can lead to significant symptoms of opioid withdrawal when it is reduced or stopped. Patients in Alberta who are at risk for opioid withdrawal, either from prescribed use or misuse will be primarily impacted by this trial. The investigators have recently explored the underlying causes of opioid withdrawal and identified an important target in the spinal cord that is responsible for producing withdrawal symptoms in rats and mice. The target, a protein called pannexin-1 (Panx1), is located throughout the body, specifically in the brain and spinal cord. Using sophisticated biochemical, genetic, and pharmacological techniques, the investigators demonstrated how Panx1 on immune cells is implicated in the production of opioid withdrawal symptoms after cessation of fentanyl and morphine in opioid dependent rodents. The investigators then attenuated these symptoms of withdrawal using probenecid, a drug which inherently blocks Panx1 activity. Because probenecid is a safe and clinically available drug, the findings could be immediately translated into clinical therapy to support people who are struggling with the symptoms of opioid withdrawal and provide clinicians with a safe and effective option for caring for this population.

      Psilocybin-assisted Psychotherapy for Opioid Use Disorder

      Kelowna, British Columbia
      This is an open-label pilot trial to assess the safety and feasibility of a novel 8-week psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy intervention to facilitate successful tapering/discontinuation of opioid pain medication in adult patients receiving long-term opioid therapy for chronic pain. Participation will last approximately 8 months and includes one or two psilocybin-assisted therapy sessions. The study will evaluate the incidence and severity of adverse events during and after treatment, the number of participants who drop out of the study for intervention-related reasons, and the self-reported benefits and harms of the intervention.

      Incentivized Adherence + Patient Navigation for Opioid Use Disorder

      Seattle, Washington
      Polysubstance use involving opioids and methamphetamine is emerging as a new public health crisis. Patients with opioids and methamphetamine use often experience serious medical complications requiring hospitalization, which provides an opportunity to offer addiction treatment. Yet linkage to outpatient treatment post-discharge is suboptimal and methamphetamine exacerbates outcomes. The investigators propose to pilot test "MHealth Incentivized Adherence Plus Patient Navigation" (MIAPP) to promote treatment linkage and retention for patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) and methamphetamine use who initiate buprenorphine in the hospital. The investigators Aim is to perform a two-arm, pilot randomized clinical trial (n=40) comparing MIAPP + treatment-as-usual (TAU) versus TAU alone on outpatient medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) linkage within 30 days (primary) and 90-day retention on medications (secondary) among hospitalized patients with OUD and methamphetamine use.

      Counseling and Peer Support for Opioid Use Disorder

      Portland, Oregon
      The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to learn if a community informed designed program of addiction counseling with coordinated community peer navigator for people with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) and other medical conditions can improve engagement in primary care and retention on buprenorphine. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the addition of a counseling and peer referral interventions in addition to usual primary care with low-threshold buprenorphine increase retention on medications for opioid use disorder? * Does the addition of counseling and peer referral intervention in addition to usual primary care with low-threshold buprenorphine increase engagement in primary care? Researchers will compare the MOUD "Plus" intervention compared to primary care treatment as usual low-threshold buprenorphine prescribing practice to see if MOUD "Plus" improves retention and engagement. Participants will upon screening and enrollment: * Meet with prescribers who will determine dose of buprenorphine and assess other medical issues as per treatment as usual with visits every 2-4 weeks * Meet with the integrated addictions counselor to develop rapport and support around clinic engagement, brief counseling intervention, and coordination of care in support of their MOUD * Be referred to a community based peer who meets with participants outside the clinic for support and advocacy for patient directed recovery goals * Meet with the research coordinator at 2, 3, and 6 months to complete follow-up surveys about their care and experiences

      FAIR Program for Substance Use Disorders

      Eugene, Oregon
      Young parents aged 16 to 30, involved in the DHS system for child welfare or self-sufficiency needs are at risk for opioid use disorder and/or methamphetamine use disorder (OUD; MUD). Those identified as engaging in opioid or methamphetamine misuse are at high risk for escalation. Children of parents with OUD and MUD are at-risk for entering into foster care. Oregon is one state particularly affected by this challenge. The proposed UG3/UH3 offers one potential solution by adapting and evaluating a recently developed treatment for parental OUD and MUD, for prevention. This study seeks to collaborate with Oregon Department of Humans Services (DHS) leadership to deliver a new outpatient prevention program to high-risk, young, parents. The Families Actively Improving Relationships (FAIR) program will include community-based mental health, parent management, and ancillary needs treatment, and ongoing monitoring and prevention services for opioid and methamphetamine use. This study will randomize 240 parents, aged 16 to 30, to receive FAIR or standard case management and referral, in two counties in Oregon. Outcomes will include an evaluation of the effectiveness of FAIR in addressing risk factors associated with substance use disorders in DHS-involved populations, OUD and MUD outcomes, and implementation outcomes including implementation process and milestones, and program delivery outcomes. Intervention and Implementation costs will be assessed, and the benefit of FAIR will be evaluated in relation to standard services, but also in relation to capacity and population needs. Study hypotheses are: (1) Parents randomized to FAIR will be less likely to escalate opioid and/or methamphetamine use, and to receive a diagnosis of OUD and/or MUD; (2) Parents randomized to FAIR will experience significant reductions in mental health, parent skills, and ancillary needs compared to those receiving standard services; (3) Counties will follow the implementation plan developed in collaboration between study team members and state leadership, and that doing so will yield successful implementation of FAIR; and (4) Implementation and intervention costs for FAIR will demonstrate a benefit for offering FAIR compared to standard services, particularly in rural communities where capacity influences service delivery decisions.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How much do Opioid Dependence clinical trials pay?

      Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

      How do Opioid Dependence clinical trials work?

      After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Opioid Dependence trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Opioid Dependence is 12 months.

      How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

      Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

      What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

      The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

      Do I need to be insured to participate in a Opioid Dependence medical study?

      Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

      What are the newest Opioid Dependence clinical trials?

      Most recently, we added Opioid Tapering for Opiate Dependence, VK4-116 for Opioid Use Disorder and Psilocybin-assisted Psychotherapy for Opioid Use Disorder to the Power online platform.
