Phase Ib/2a Drug-drug Interaction Study of a Combination of 45mg Dextromethorphan With 105 mg Bupropion

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The overall goal of this project is to collect initial human data on the effects of novel compounds on safety (interactions with an opioid drug, e.g., buprenorphine) and early efficacy signals (subjective effects on negative affect, craving, and opioid withdrawal) in OUD subjects currently in MOUD treatment with buprenorphine.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:18 Years to 65 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * Males and female subjects between 18 - 65 years of age;
  2. * Understand the study procedures and provide written informed consent in the English language.
  3. * Meet current DSM-5 criteria for OUD, of at least moderate severity, currently engaged in MOUD treatment at a buprenorphine-naloxone sublingual film total daily dose ranging from 8mg/2mg to 24mg/6mg or buprenorphine sublingual tablet 5.7mg/1.4mg to 17.1/4.3 daily for at least 2 weeks at screening. Or on a stable dose of depot injectable buprenorphine for at least four months, with at least one week since last depot buprenorphine injection.
  4. * Have a positive urine drug screen for buprenorphine during screening and upon presenting for the first laboratory day on the clinical research unit to document buprenorphine use;
  5. * Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (16-Item) (QIDS-SR16) score of mild or greater (\>6)
  6. * Females must be non-pregnant and non-lactating. Additionally, for females with childbearing potential (ie., have not undergone sterilization via hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy, or at least 1 year post-menopausal), participants must agree to use an acceptable form of contraception during study participation and to continue its use for at least 30 days after the last dose of the study drug (e.g, abstinence, intrauterine device, hormonal implant, hormonal patch/ring/pill, condoms (male or female).
  1. * Contraindications for participation as determined by medical history and physical exam performed by study NP or study physician;
  2. * Pregnant or nursing women;
  3. * Baseline ECG with clinically significant abnormal conduction;
  4. * Uncontrolled serious psychiatric or major medical disorder; including uncontrolled hypertension, seizure disorder, anorexia nervosa or bulimia, bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, or schizophrenia;
  5. * Taking antidepressant medications (tricyclic antidepressants, SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs), antibiotic linezolid, antiepileptics, or CNS stimulants (amphetamine, methylphenidate) within the two weeks prior to initiation of study medication
  6. * History of adverse reaction or allergy to dextromethorphan or bupropion
  7. * Current severe alcohol use disorder or current benzodiazepine use or recent (within last 3 months) discontinuation of alcohol with severe alcohol use disorder or discontinuation of benzodiazepines with severe benzodiazepine use disorder
  8. * Current DSM-5 diagnosis of any psychoactive substance use disorder other than opioids, cocaine, marijuana, or nicotine, or mild or moderate alcohol use disorder. Diagnosis of mild to moderate use disorder for alcohol will not be considered exclusionary.
  9. * Significant current suicidal or homicidal ideation (C-SSRS "yes" answers on questions 4 or 5) or a history of suicide attempt within the past 6 months.
  10. * Any other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the subject inappropriate for entry into this study.
