Active clinical trials for "Opioid-Related Disorders"

The proposed research effort will: The purpose of this study is as follows: Test the feasibility and acceptability of a twelve- week mindfulness based relapse prevention protocol in combination with peer mentoring in individuals with opioid use disorder who are on medication assisted treatment. Determine whether participation in a combination of mindfulness based relapse prevention and peer mentoring in comparison with an attentional control group: a) improves adherence to MAT b) decreases relapse and cravings c) improves psychosocial outcomes such as depression, anxiety, stress and social support

Buprenorphine (BUP) is FDA-approved for the treatment of opioid withdrawal and opioid use disorder. Few ED providers have received the necessary DEA registration (aka X waiver) required to prescribe BUP, and urgent appointments to continue ongoing BUP treatment may not be readily available, thus leading to medication discontinuity. A loading dose induction strategy with 32mg of BUP may help effectively link ED patients to outpatient treatment while minimizing known barriers to ED uptake. Administering a "loading dose" of BUP to saturate mu-opioid receptors would extend the duration of action and provide additional time to secure ongoing treatment. Further, BUP's ceiling effect on respiratory depression makes it a remarkably safe drug even at high doses. In recent years, ED providers have begun to incorporate this approach into clinical protocols, however, it has not been formally studied in this clinical setting. The investigator's study represents the necessary step of studying this novel approach in the ED setting to define the parameters for clinical protocols and large-scale studies.

The primary aims of this study are to identify impaired cognitive control in opioid use disorder (OUD) and subsequently to examine the effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) on reward processing, as measured by the reward positivity (an electrophysiological signal) in people with OUD. To this end, the investigators will adopt a randomized sham-controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of Ri-TMS on cognitive control in OUD. The investigators hypothesize that Ri-TMS will be successful in modulating the reward positivity in opioid users in the active TMS condition.

This study is a single ascending dose (SAD) study conducted to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of INDV-2000. After completion of the SAD portion of the study and acceptable safety evaluation, a food-interaction, single-dose study under fed and fasted conditions will be conducted.

This is a 15-week, outpatient study of remote observed dosing to improve suboxone compliance in opiate dependent subjects.The main purpose of this study is to see if watching patients take their medication will improve treatment of opiate dependence by prompting patients to take all prescribed doses of Suboxone. Suboxone is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of opiate dependence. All patients receive a smartphone and patients in the intervention (remote observed dosing) group will use the smartphone to take videos of themselves taking Suboxone.

This research is being done to find out whether an app based cognitive behavior therapy called reSET improves the adherence to and outcome of buprenorphine treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) in the setting of a Hub and Spoke implementation system.

The consequences of prescription opioid abuse are serious and the number of deaths from unintended overdose have quadrupled over the last 15+ years. Opioid analgesics remain among the most commonly abused class of substances in the United States. Moreover, patients who take pain medications for legitimate reasons may develop an opioid use disorder (OUD), with as many as 1 in 4 patients becoming dependent on their pain medications. Because of changing access to prescription opioid analgesics due to an increasingly negative prescribing climate and changes in guidelines, patients often turn to heroin, with an estimated 1 in 15 pain patients trying heroin within 10 years. Pain is a symptom that can be severely debilitating and needs to be treated adequately to improve the quality of life. Clinicians, then, are in a proverbial "catch-22" situation whereby treating a patient's chronic pain also exposes them to medications with substantial abuse liability and overdose risk. In this proposal, a method aimed at reducing the abuse potential of prescription opioid medications, without altering their analgesic efficacy, is described. The study team hypothesize that this can be accomplished by administering a fixed-dose-combination of an opioid with an atypical antipsychotic drug, in the same pill or capsule.

The purpose of this study is to parametically evaluate two different types of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) treatment strategies as a potential treatment for pain in individuals currently taking prescription opiates. Repetitive TMS is a non-invasive tool that uses magnetic pulses to temporarily stimulate specific brain areas. This study will test whether rTMS over different locations of the prefrontal cortex can produce a reduction in an individuals perception of pain and how the brain responds to pain. Participants will be randomized to receive either sham-rTMS, or one of two real rTMS treatments. Brain imaging, behavioral assessments, and pain assessments will be collected both immediately before and after rTMS.

To test the feasibility and acceptability of a novel approach for improving the delivery and effectiveness of XRNTX treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) - the MAT-PLUS intervention. The components of the MAT-PLUS intervention are: XRNTX, initiated during an episode of inpatient/residential treatment and dosed monthly, provides opioid receptor blockade, relapse prevention and overdose prevention; Significant other engagement empowers family members or other designated concerned others, providing concrete guidance for monitoring, supervision, and improving adherence for their loved one in treatment; Assertive outreach incorporates frequent multi-channel outreach, in a model that specifically targets engagement and motivation for medication adherence; Counselor care coordination and case management focused on medication management and adherence. This objective #1 will be accomplished by conducting a small-scale, 2-arm, open label, RCT pilot study of 4 months of treatment with the MAT-PLUS intervention (significant other engagement and training, medication care coordination by counselors, assertive outreach) + TAU (monthly doses of XRNTX + routine counseling), vs TAU for n=40 (20 per arm) patients with OUD. Adult patients ages 18+ who receive an initial dose of XRNTX during an index episode of inpatient/residential/detox treatment for opioid addiction at a public-sector community treatment program treatment, with intention to continue in outpatient treatment. The experimental arm will receive the MAT-PLUS intervention for 4 months of ongoing outpatient treatment with XRNTX. The control arm will receive 4 months of standard TAU (XRNTX + clinic-based counseling) without MAT-PLUS. At the beginning of the trial an additional small (N = 4 or 5) group of test patients will receive the MAT-PLUS intervention to test and refine the study procedures.

The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of prefrontal transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) combined with cognitive training on cognitive functions in individuals with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). The participants will be allocated into active/sham groups (1:1) and will receive a single session of prefrontal tDCS combined with cognitive training. Outcomes of the active and sham groups will be compared.
