Naloxone Methadone Combination (NAMEKO)
Opiate DependenceThe aim of the study is to examine the tolerability and abuse potential of the diluted methadone solution (5 mg/ml → 2 mg/ml) in combination with naloxone in opioid substitution treatment. Study hypothesis: Treatment with this diluted combination product is safer than with methadone alone (5 mg/ml) and combination product does not precipitate withdrawal symptoms in opioid dependent patients.
Improving Effective Contraceptive Use Among Opioid-maintained Women
Contraceptive UsageOpioid DependenceNearly 9 of every 10 pregnant opioid-dependent women report that the current pregnancy was unintended and the majority of non-pregnant opioid-maintained women do not use contraception or use less effective methods like condoms. This proposal aims to develop and test a novel contraceptive management program to increase use of more effective contraceptives among opioid-maintained women and to examine the impact of more effective contraceptive use on condom use. The proposed research may reduce unintended pregnancy among opioid-dependent women without increasing their risk of sexually transmitted infections and the knowledge gained will also have implications for addressing high rates of unintended pregnancy in the general population.
Naltrexone Implants vs. MMT Among Inmates in the Norwegian Correctional Services
Opiate AddictionThe purpose of this clinical trial is to study the efficacy and safety of naltrexone implants as a relapse prevention for opiate addicted inmates about to be released from prison. The experimental group is compared with a control group that commences methadone maintenance treatment before release. The hypothesises are that quality of life and criminal behaviour improve significantly in both groups compared to the month before incarceration. The experimental group is going to have significant less days with opioid use compared to the MMT group. We hypothesize furthermore that the implants can prevent death related to opiate overdose up to 6 months after commenced treatment.
A Comparison of Plasma Concentrations of Hydrocodone and Acetaminophen After Administration of a...
Opioid-Related DisordersPain3 moreThis clinical trial is being conducted to compare concentrations of hydrocodone and acetaminophen in the blood after administration of a new and a marketed tablet formulation under fasted and fed conditions in healthy adults. This is a randomized, single-site, open-label, 4-treatment, 4-period crossover, single oral dose Phase I trial in 32 healthy male and female subjects. The trial will consist of an Enrollment Visit, 4 treatment periods (each lasting approximately 60 hours) separated by 3 washout periods (each lasting at least 7 days), and a Final Examination.
Naloxone to TReatment Entry in the Emergency Setting
Opioid DependenceOpioid Intoxication1 moreThe study tests a structured referral process for opioid overdose survivors, from pre-hospital emergency care to long-term treatment of the individual's substance use-related disorder.
Opiate Craving Reduction Study Using Post-detox Patients on Suboxone and Use of TEAS as Adjunctive...
Opioid-use DisorderPilot study of 12 outpatients in early recovery from illicit drug use,post-detox and on buprenorphine-naloxone maintenance will be offered 12 TEAS adjunct treatments over 6 weeks(X2/week) to ascertain if they experience any improvement in mood,sleep,overall quality of life and decrease drug cravings ultimately while facing everyday life stressors.

Opioid-Related DisordersPain3 moreThis clinical trial is being conducted to compare concentrations of hydrocodone and acetaminophen in the blood after administration of different amounts of tablets of a new and a marketed tablet formulation in healthy adults. Part 1 is a randomized, single-site, open-label, 4-treatment, 4-period crossover, single oral dose Phase I trial in 32 healthy male and female subjects. Part will consist of an Enrollment Visit, 4 treatment periods (each lasting approximately 90 hours), and a Final Examination. The treatment periods will be separated by a washout period each lasting at least 7 days. Part 2 is optional and depending on pharmacokinetic data review after Part 1. It is a randomized, single-site, open-label, 2-treatment, 2-period crossover, single oral dose part in healthy male and female subjects. Part 2 will consist of an Enrollment Visit, 2 treatment periods (each lasting approximately 90 hours) and a Final Examination. The treatment periods will be separated by a washout period lasting at least 7 days. Participants must fast for approximately 10 hours prior to administration of Investigational medicinal product (IMP) and until approximately 4 hours after the administration of the IMP.
Changing Opioid Users' Negative Attitudes Toward Medication Assisted Treatment
Opioid Use DisorderIn this treatment development project, the investigators propose to develop and assess the feasibility and acceptability of a narrative-based video intervention and accompanying workbook (entitled MATTeRS: Medication Assisted Treatments: Telling Real Stories) designed to be used by people in inpatient opioid detoxification. Using the Health Belief Model as a framework, videos will provide information about the uses and outcomes of Medication Assisted Treatments (MATs) compared to other or no post-detoxification treatment through the use of narratives from real people's lives.
Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach in Combination With Buprenorphine/Naloxone for Severe...
Opioid-Related DisordersBehavior1 moreThe study assesses whether adding a behavioral intervention, known as the Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA), to the treatment of individuals already receiving buprenorphine/naloxone can improve treatment success and retention rates in young adults with severe opioid use disorder.
Needle-X: Usability Testing of a Smartphone Application
Opioid DependenceMobile health interventions offer a longitudinal approach to reducing the burden of substance use disorders and may stem the rise of the opioid overdose epidemic. Smartphone applications are one of the most popular mobile phone features nationally, among patients in addiction treatment, and among criminal justice involved (CJI) patients enrolled in addiction treatment. This research conducted at Bellevue Hospital's inpatient detoxification program established attitudes and self-reported behaviors favorable to theoretical smartphone applications addressing opioid use, HIV, and HCV prevention and management strategies. This study aims to assess the feasibility and usability of a smartphone application to enhance access to sterile needles, naloxone overdose kits, and addiction treatment programs in New York City.
