Active clinical trials for "Opioid-Related Disorders"

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of extended-release naltrexone (XR-NTX) vs. enhanced treatment-as-usual (TAU) among opioid dependent adults leaving NYC jails. In parallel, we propose to recruit a matched, quasi-experimental methadone cohort, which will result in a naturalistic comparison of XR-NTX vs. an established jail-based methadone treatment program standard-of-care. Our primary aim is to compare time-to-relapse among participants treated with XR-NTX vs. randomized TAU controls and time-to-relapse among XR-NTX arm vs. jail-based MTP participants, following release from jail. Secondary aims will compare related opioid treatment outcomes post-release across all arms.

This study is designed to develop an effective treatment intervention for chronic pain, symptomatic hypogonadism, and opioid addiction

In this 5-year study, the investigators propose to evaluate the separate and combined effects of the FDA-approved formulation of extended release naltrexone (Vivitrol®) and employment-based reinforcement of opiate abstinence in promoting opiate abstinence and reducing risky injection behavior in recently detoxified, opioid-dependent, injection drug users.

This study is designed to develop an effective adjunctive treatment using yoga for chronic pain and opioid dependence.

To conduct a randomized clinical trial (RCT) of a community-friendly behavioral intervention designed to reduce HIV risk behavior among injection drug users (IDUs) in drug treatment by comparing risk-behavior outcomes of four weekly intervention sessions with a time-and-attention-matched control condition.

The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate maintenance of treatment efficacy when transferring adult outpatients with opioid dependence, who are clinically stabilized on 8 mg or less of sublingual (SL) buprenorphine (BPN), to 4 Probuphine implants compared to SL BPN. The secondary objective of the study is to confirm safety of 4 Probuphine implants in adult outpatients with opioid dependence who are clinically stabilized on 8 mg or less of SL BPN.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Therapeutic Workplace in promoting methadone treatment and increasing abstinence in unemployed, out-of-treatment injection heroine users.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the drug-drug interaction potential between telaprevir and buprenorphine/naloxone. An understanding of the interaction potential will help to determine whether buprenorphine dose adjustments are necessary for patients who are concomitantly treated with telaprevir. Telaprevir, in combination with other antiviral agents, is being investigated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus infection. Buprenorphine/naloxone is used for maintainance therapy in patients with opioid dependence.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous 6β-Naltrexol administered to opiate dependent subjects

The proposed investigation will use methadone maintained patients who have concurrent cocaine dependence in order to take advantage of the excellent (over 80%) treatment retention in this patient group and to maximize treatment compliance by daily observed medication with both methadone and levetiracetam. In the initial patients we will explore the tolerability of escalating doses of levetiracetam as well as its potential role in reducing cocaine use, as monitored by self-report and verified by three-times weekly urine toxicology testing in methadone treated patients.The specific aim of this study is to evaluate the tolerability and efficacy of levetiracetam 3 grams/day in modifying cocaine-using behavior, reducing cocaine craving and attenuating cocaine's reinforcing effect among methadone-maintained patients
