Alternate-Day Buprenorphine Administration. Phase I - 3
Opioid-Related DisordersThe purpose of this study is to determine if two times a subject's daily maintenance dose will hold for 48 hours without changes in agonist and antagonist effects.
Alternate Day Buprenorphine Administration, Phase XII - 17
Opioid-Related DisordersThe purpose of this study is to determine if six times daily buprenorphine dose is effective in achieving 120 hour buprenorphine dosing.
Buprenorphine Pharmacology Related to Addiction Treatment - 18
Opioid-Related DisordersThe purpose of this study is to examine the interactions between buprenorphine and naltrexone, and to assess how they may directly impact the clinical issues involving: transferring patients from buprenorphine to naltrexone, developing a non-abusable form of buprenorphine, and enhancing patient acceptability of naltrexone.
Effects of Subanesthetic Concentrations of Nitrous Oxide - 1
Opioid-Related DisordersSubstance-Related DisordersThe purpose of this study is to conduct experiments to examine subjective and reinforcing effects of nitrous oxide. Mood altering and psychomotor effects will be tested on non-drug abusers and preference procedures will be used to assess reinforcing effects. To examine effects of subanesthetic concentrations of nitrous oxide on cold-pressor pain in humans.
Effects of Subanesthetic Concentrations of Isoflurane/Nitrous Oxide - 3
Opioid-Related DisordersSubstance-Related DisordersThe purpose of this study is to conduct experiments to examine subjective and reinforcing effects of nitrous oxide. Mood altering and psychomotor effects will be tested on non-drug abusers and preference procedures will be used to assess reinforcing effects. To evaluate the acute and residual effects of subanesthetic concentrations of isoflurane/nitrous oxide combinations in healthy volunteers.
A Laboratory Model for Heroin Abuse Medications - 8
Heroin DependenceOpioid-Related Disorders1 moreThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of treatment medications (methadone, buprenorphine, LAAM, naltrexone, naltrexone microcapsules, and methoclocinnamox) on I.V. and smoked heroin self-administration."
Buspirone for Opioid Tapering
Opioid-Related DisordersDependency (Psychology)3 moreThis is a pilot study to collect preliminary data to support a grant application. The goal of the study is to evaluate whether the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved and generically-available medication buspirone reduces symptoms of opioid withdrawal among patients undergoing a clinically-indicated and supervised taper from their opioid pain medications. This is premised on strong preclinical scientific support but has not yet be well-examined in humans.
SUBLOCADE Rapid Initiation Study
Opioid-use DisorderThis study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of initiating SUBLOCADE™ treatment following a shorter period of transmucosal (TM) buprenorphine treatment.
Peer-Delivered Behavioral Activation for Methadone Adherence - Pilot Phase
Substance UseSubstance Use Disorders6 moreThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a peer-led, brief, behavioral intervention to improve adherence to medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) among low-income, minoritized individuals living with opioid use disorder (OUD) in Baltimore, Maryland. The intervention is based on behavioral activation (BA) and is specifically designed to be implemented by a trained peer recovery specialist. In this pilot trial, the investigators will evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and fidelity of this approach (implementation outcomes) and preliminary effectiveness on methadone treatment retention at three months.
Oral Cannabidiol for Opioid Withdrawal
Opioid WithdrawalOpioid Craving1 moreThis pilot study will examine the safety of the cannabinoid cannabidiol (Epidiolex) in a human laboratory model of clinically relevant withdrawal. The study will be a residential within-subject comparison; all participants will receive placebo dosing and active cannabidiol. Results may be used to support an R01 grant application to more closely examine this hypothesis.
