RECRUITING

A Study to Test Whether BI 1356225 Improves Impulsive Behavior in People With Opioid Use Disorder Who Are Taking Buprenorphine

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

This study is open to people between 18 and 65 years of age with opioid use disorder. Opioid use disorder is also called opioid addiction or opioid dependence. People can join the study if they currently take a medicine called buprenorphine. People with opioid dependence can act on impulse, which can lead to risky behaviours. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1356225 improves impulse control in people with opioid dependence. Participants are put into 2 groups by chance. One group takes BI 1356225 tablets and the other group takes placebo tablets. Placebo tablets look like BI 1356225 tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants take a tablet once a day for 8 days. All participants also continue taking buprenorphine. Participants are in the study for up to 6 weeks. During this time, they visit the study site 3 times. At visit 2, participants stay at the study site for 9 nights. Doctors test participants' impulsivity using tasks or games on a computer and questionnaires. The results are compared between the 2 groups to see whether the treatment works. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

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. 1. Male and female participants, 18 to 65 years of age, both inclusively, at the time of consent
  2. 2. Meet current diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5) criteria for opioid use disorder, of at least moderate severity within the 12 months prior to screening
  3. 3. Currently engaged in medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) treatment with one of the following regimens:
  4. 1. buprenorphine/naloxone sublingual film total daily dose ranging from 8 mg/2 mg to 24 mg/6 mg for at least 2 weeks at screening OR
  5. 2. buprenorphine/naloxone sublingual tablet from 5.7 mg/1.4 mg to 17.1 mg/4.3 mg total daily dose for at least 2 weeks at screening OR
  6. 3. buprenorphine sublingual tablet from 8 mg to 24 mg total daily dose for at least 2 weeks at screening OR
  7. 4. on depot injectable buprenorphine for at least 5 weeks at screening, with at least 1 week since last depot buprenorphine injection
  8. 4. Have a current MOUD prescription in accordance with inclusion criterion 4 and a positive urine drug screen for buprenorphine during screening and upon presenting for randomization to document buprenorphine use
  9. 5. Willingness to abstain from using alcohol for 24 hours (h) and all other drugs of abuse for 72 h prior to Day 1 and through discharge from the trial site on Day 9
  10. 6. Women of child-bearing potential must be able and willing, as confirmed by the investigator, to use highly effective methods of contraception
  11. 7. Further inclusion criteria apply.
  1. 1. Lifetime diagnosis of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, schizophreniform disorder, bipolar I disorder, delusional disorder, or autism spectrum disorder as confirmed by the mini international neuropsychiatric interview (MINI) at the screening visit
  2. 2. Moderate or severe substance use disorder other than opioid use disorder (OUD) within the 6 months prior to screening (excluding tobacco, caffeine, and moderate stimulant use)
  3. 3. Severe stimulant use disorder within the 3 months prior to screening
  4. 4. Any other psychiatric disorder that is not currently stable in symptoms and treatment. Stable is defined as having no significant changes in symptom acuity or treatment (medication or psychotherapy treatment) in the 8 weeks prior to randomization
  5. 5. Score of ≥20 on the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS)
  6. 6. Positive results on a urine drug screen for ≥3 drugs (not counting buprenorphine or TCAs) at screening. In the case of a positive drug screen for 1 or 2 agents, if the participant does not meet the exclusion criteria regarding substance use disorder for these compounds, they may be included if the investigator determines that use will not be an impediment to trial participation or accurate data collection
  7. 7. Any positive result on a urine drug screen (not counting buprenorphine, TCAs, or cannabis) at admission to the trial site on Day -1
  8. 8. Intoxication at screening or randomization, as determined by clinical exam and breathalyzer
  9. 9. Further exclusion criteria apply.
