Active clinical trials for "Opioid-Related Disorders"

This 4-year study will randomize 1,000 people with co-occurring opioid use and mental health disorders (COD) at medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) clinics to evaluate the effectiveness of MISSION, a multi-component team approach, or its components with MOUD versus MOUD alone, as well as the incremental benefits of MISSION or its components for improving outcomes. We expect that individuals receiving MISSION or its parts + MOUD will show greater improvement over MOUD alone on: engagement, substance use, and mental health.

This is a phase IIa, randomized, placebo-controlled pilot study designed to examine whether low-dose cariprazine (1.5mg/d) impacts cocaine use in medically-stable OUD patients with co-occurring CocUD who have already been taking BUP-NX at a stable dose for at least one week (up to 24mg buprenorphine/6mg naloxone daily). To be eligible for this relapse-prevention study, patients will have a cocaine-negative urine at the time of study enrollment. Approximately 48 subjects will be randomized to participate in this study. At randomization, patients will be stratified on cocaine-use severity, e.g., < 8 days cocaine use in the prior month (less severe) vs. > 8 days cocaine use in the prior month (more severe). A subset (n=24) of participants who are fMRI-eligible will also participate in an fMRI session during the trial, examining whether cariprazine impacts the brain response to relapse-relevant probes of reward and inhibition. All fMRI-eligible patients will be offered the scanning opportunity, until 24 scans are acquired. Blinding: This pilot study will be designated as single-blind. Participants are blind to their medication status. In our single-blind studies, we also ask our clinical / patient-interacting staff to remain "blind" to the participants' medication status (similar to 'double-blind' studies), but our non-treatment (e.g., engineering) staff have access to participant group status for preliminary data examinations. After enrollment, subjects will be randomized to receive 1.5mg/d cariprazine or placebo in a 2:1 ratio. At baseline, subjects will complete several assessments, behavioral tasks and neurocognition probes monitored by fNIRS and will then begin taking cariprazine (or placebo) each day for 8 weeks. The behavioral tasks and fNIRS session will be collected again 10-17 days after taking the first dose of study medication, when plasma levels of cariprazine are likely approaching steady-state; fMRI probes will be collected at the steady-state timepoint in the fMRI-eligible subgroup. Urines will be collected 2x/weekly throughout the trial; weekly blood samples will be analyzed for buprenorphine/norbuprenorphine as an index of BUP-NX compliance, and for metabolites of cariprazine, for cariprazine compliance. Individuals will participate for approximately 11 weeks, inclusive of the screening period and follow-up visit; maximal study medication exposure for each subject is up to 8 weeks. The study has 4 distinct phases: Screening (approx. 1-2 weeks) Baseline (1-2 visits; includes baseline assessments, behavioral tasks/fNIRS session, and randomization) Outpatient treatment (8 wks; 2 visits/wk, includes daily cariprazine (or placebo), daily BUP-NX (at the participants' usual community treatment site), and imaging (fMRI and fNIRS)/behavioral tasks at steady-state. Follow-up: A follow-up visit to assess medical and psychological status will occur approximately 1 week after the last dose of study medication.

This trial will recruit veterans with chronic pain (N = 160) who are prescribed buprenorphine for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD). We seek to: (1) examine the efficacy of an integrated treatment to reduce pain interference and substance misuse (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention [ACT + MBRP]) compared to an education control (EC) consisting of a protocol-based series of education sessions concerning chronic pain, opioids, and buprenorphine use and (2) examine how theoretically-relevant treatment mechanisms of pain acceptance, engagement in values-based action, and opioid craving are related to treatment outcomes. Interventions will be delivered via the VA Video Connect telehealth modality.

The Bridge Device (BD) is a neuromodulator medical device that has been cleared by the FDA for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) treatment. Importantly, medical devices reviewed by the FDA are cleared (based on safety) rather than approved (based on efficacy), which means the BD did not need to demonstrate efficacy before it became commercially available. As a result, the device was not required to have a sham-controlled trial for FDA clearance and there is no active research, to the investigators' knowledge, that specifically addresses the degree to which opioid withdrawal can be treated through neuromodulation. To rigorously evaluate the efficacy of the BD for treating OUD, the investigators will enroll persons with active OUD, not currently receiving medications for OUD. Participants will be recruited and admitted to the Clinical Research Unit (CRU) for a 2-3 week period. During participants' residential stay, participants will be stabilized for 7-11 days on four times daily morphine (30 mg, SC) and undergo a precipitated withdrawal challenge using the opioid antagonist naloxone, approximately >= 4 days of morphine maintenance. This is a standard practice for the investigators' study and allows the investigators to objectively assess dependence. The BD and study medication will begin following morphine stabilization. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three conditions (1) active BD with placebo (BD/P), (2) sham BD with lofexidine (SBD/L), or (3) sham BD and placebo (SBD/P). Participants will use the BD for 5 days and will receive study drug for 7 days. Participants will be monitored for an additional 4 days after device removal to determine whether withdrawal resumes. Participants will undergo a second naloxone challenge after removal of the device/capsule completion to verify lack of opioid tolerance and will be encouraged to begin treatment with oral naltrexone followed by extended release naltrexone. Throughout the residential stay, all participants will be given referral to and assisted with engaging in outpatient treatment following study discharge.

Background: People with opioid-use disorder (OUD) might benefit from having more treatment drugs to choose from. A new drug, TRV734, could be used like methadone to treat OUD. It might not have as many side effects. Objective: To test if TRV734 relieves withdrawal symptoms and has fewer side effects than oxycodone in people with OUD. Eligibility: People ages 18-75 who have been receiving daily treatment with methadone for opioid use disorder for at least 3 months Design: Participants will be screened under Protocol 415. They will be screened with: Medical, social, and psychiatric history Physical exam Electrocardiogram (ECG). For this, sticky pads will be placed on the participant s chest to monitor their heartbeat. Blood and urine tests Participants will stay in a residential unit for 13-21 days. Most days, participants will receive their regular daily dose of methadone. On 4 or 5 occasions, 3-4 days apart, participants will skip two doses of methadone in a row. About 4 hours after they skip the second dose, they will have an IV catheter inserted with a needle so that blood samples can be taken. They will take capsules of either oxycodone, a placebo, or the study drug. They will have an ECG. They will complete questionnaires. Their blood pressure, pupil size, and alertness will be tested. They will then take their usual dose of methadone. Participants will give daily urine and breath samples.

This study is a multi-site open-label randomized comparative effectiveness trial of a 28-day formulation of extended-release buprenorphine (XR-BUP) versus treatment as usual (TAU) for hospitalized patients with a moderate or severe opioid use disorder (OUD) seen by an addiction consultation service (ACS) and agreeing to initiate a medication for OUD (MOUD). Participants will be randomly assigned to XR-BUP or TAU to be received within 72 hours of anticipated hospital discharge. Follow up will occur at approximately 34, 90, and 180 days following hospital discharge.

This is a pilot study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the nucleus accumbens (NAc) as adjunctive treatment for treatment-refractory opioid use disorder. This study will include 3 individuals with opioid use disorder and relapsing opioid use despite active participation in a drug addiction treatment program.

This study is being done to answer the question: what is the effect of Vagal Nerve Stimulation (VNS) dosing on opioid withdrawal responses in individuals with a history of Opioid Use Disorders (OUDs)? Eligible participants will be in the study for one week in an inpatient research hospital stay, have an MRI scan, and have a follow-up call 1-3 months after their inpatient stay. Participants will complete several psychiatric questionnaires/interviews, physiological monitoring with several devices, brain imaging, and VNS testing.

This single arm pilot feasibility study will evaluate the implementation of overnight infant respite care and parenting skills to mothers with substance use disorders in the early postpartum period residing in residential substance use disorder treatment programs.

The purpose of this clinical study is to investigate the safety, tolerability, and feasibility of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of the nucleus accumbens (NAc) and ventral internal capsule (VC) for participants with treatment refractory opioid use disorder (OUD) who have cognitive, behavioral, and functional disability.
