48 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to assess the abuse potential of gabapentin enacarbil immediate release capsules taken alone and in combination with oxycodone in healthy adult, non-dependent, recreational opioid users.
This is a Phase 1, single-centre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2 fixed sequences, multiple dose study in healthy male and/or female recreational opioid users. This study is being primarily conducted to assess the effect on respiratory drive of morphine administered after multiple doses of AZD4041 compared to morphine administered alone in healthy recreational opioid users. The study will include up to 44 participants who will be randomized to either AZD4041 and morphine (28 participants) or placebo and morphine (16 participants). This is to ensure completion of at least 36 participants (24 AZD4041 + morphine, and 12 Placebo + morphine on Day 15). The total study duration will be up to 54 days (including screening) per participant.
This will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled, 5-way crossover study to evaluate the abuse potential, safety and pharmacokinetics of orally administered PF614 relative to oxycodone IR (immediate-release) tablets and placebo.
The purpose of this study is to examine the abuse potential and pharmacokinetics of PF614 compared with a non-abuse deterrent, commercially available, immediate release (IR) oxycodone hydrochloride (HCl) formulation and placebo.
Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death for Americans of all ages and more people in the United States now die from suicide than die from car accidents. Although death by firearm remains the most common cause of suicide in the United States, an intentional overdose of substance usage such as prescription opioids accounts for over 5,000 suicides per year. In 2017, more than 70,000 drug overdose deaths occurred, making it the leading cause of injury-related death, and well over half (67.8%) involved opioids. The dramatic increase in opioid overdose raises concerns about their contribution to suicidal outcomes (e.g., suicidal behavior, ideation, and attempts). Abuse of prescription opioids is characterized by the persistence of opioid use despite negative consequences. The neurobiology of opioid abuse involves the mesolimbic dopamine systems as the main neural substrate for opioid reward, and altered dopamine release in this system plays a role in opioid abuse. Moreover, the cortico-striatal system, especially the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), has been associated with the abuse of many substances, including opioids and alcohol. Structural brain alterations in frontal areas, particularly the OFC, may cause executive control dysfunctions of mood which are highly associated with suicidal ideation. Recent preclinical work has shown that higher input from the OFC to the dorsal striatum (dSTR) is associated with compulsive reward-seeking behavior despite negative effects (e.g., punishment). In this study, the investigators propose that OFC/dSTR connectivity may be one neural differentiator that distinguishes between those who become compulsive users after initial opioid use and those that do not. Moreover, suicidal patients among those who become compulsive users may have higher OFC/dSTR connectivity compared to non-suicidal patients.
This will be a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo- and active-controlled, 6 treatment, 6-period crossover single-dose, Williams square design study in healthy male and/or female adult, non-drug-dependent recreational opioid users.
The purpose of the study is to examine whether an investigational medication called ketamine along with psychotherapy is an effective treatment for depression in participants with a history of opioid addiction who have not abused opioids in at least 3 months. Participants will receive ketamine through intramuscular injection along with psychotherapy weekly for 8 weeks. Participation for eligible subjects who decide to enroll (including post-medication follow-up visits) will last about 16 weeks or 4 months.
This is a Phase 4 clinical study in healthy non-drug dependent recreational opioid users to assess the abuse potential of Lyrica when taken alone or in combination with oxycodone.
The overall goal of this pilot study is to characterize illicit fentanyl and combination fentanyl and opioid dependence explicitly, by assessing physiologic barriers to effective buprenorphine induction. Results from this pilot study may make a case for a larger feasibility study to be conducted through the Clinical Trials Network at the National Institutes of Drug Abuse. The primary hypothesis is that individuals dependent on illicit fentanyl and combination fentanyl and opioids will have difficulty with standard buprenorphine induction, and will need a modified approach. The primary outcome measure will be retention on buprenorphine at seven days post induction. The secondary outcome measures will be objective precipitated withdrawal and the rate of patients requiring or requesting to initiate methadone due to intolerance of buprenorphine.
The objective of this research is to assess the effects of electronic health record (EHR)-based decision support tools on primary care provider (PCP) decision-making around pain treatment and opioid prescribing. The decision support tools are informed by principles of "behavioral economics," whereby clinicians are "nudged," though never forced, towards guideline-concordant care.
This study compares several different antiretroviral adherence measures, including digital pills, in HIV+ individuals who are maintained on opioid analgesics.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of NKTR-181 on brain activity in healthy, non-physically dependent recreational opioid users. This study will last about 88 days for each participant.
This will be a pilot single-arm study consisting of 15 participants evaluating the use of oritavancin in the final consolidation phase (last two weeks of treatment) of systemic infections with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in opioid users. The purpose of this pilot proposal is to collect information for a subsequent large, randomized intervention. Primary endpoints will be 1) Safety and tolerability, and 2) Duration of hospitalization and rate of recurrence.
Opioid use disorders (OUD) are the second most common type of drug use disorder in the US, with nearly 2 million Americans with prescription opioid- (PO) and \~570,000 with heroin-related OUD. The escalation in OUD during the past two decades has been most pronounced among youth, many of whom demonstrate a rapid transition from nonmedical PO use (16-17 y/o), to heroin (19-20 y/o), with most progressing to injection drug use (IDU), within a year of starting heroin use (20-21 y/o). Progression to IDU is characterized by uniquely high levels of risk for youth, including higher rates of overdose (OD) and HIV and HCV incidence, compared to older peers. Addiction severity, psychosocial functioning, and social networks are robust predictors of transitioning to IDU; however there is virtually no research on how to prevent or halt this transition to IDU. Given the paucity of interventions targeting this large and vulnerable group of youth, we propose to adapt and evaluate an innovative, engaging mHealth intervention to prevent young opioid users (18-29) from transitioning to IDU. Aim 1: During months 1-12, we will adapt our existing mobile intervention for OUD that includes daily text messages plus key components of evidence-based CBT interventions, including Functional Analysis of Drug Use, Self-Management, and Social / Recreational Counseling. New components specific to youth will focus on the role of peers on opioid use and IDU, and OD prevention / response training. Our iterative development process will include focus groups with opioid-using youth (n=24), interviews with important stakeholders (e.g., youth treatment providers; n=6), and feedback and usability data from opioid-using youth (n=30). Aim 2: During months 13-31, we will conduct a small randomized, controlled trial of the tailored mHealth intervention with young opioid users who have not transitioned to regular injection (n=64) and compare (1) assessment plus in-person OD prevention / response training (including naloxone) versus (2) assessment plus in-person OD prevention / response training (including naloxone) plus our mHealth intervention. Feasibility and acceptability will be assessed via participant feedback, retention, and usage data. Diffusion will be defined as the number of participants' peers who download the intervention app for their own use. Preliminary effectiveness will be measured via reductions in opioid use (TLFB, urine / hair toxicology) and self-reported injection status at 4, 8, and 12 weeks, and 3 and 6 month follow-up. Secondary outcomes include HIV/HCV risk behavior, OD, opioid-related problems (e.g., withdrawal episodes), and social network IDU-related norms and behaviors. If results are promising, this novel intervention will be expanded for examination in a large-scale efficacy / effectiveness trial.

The purpose of this research study is to: 1. assess how participants like the AWAITS e-health application as measured by their feedback on the intervention 2. test the impact of AWAITS on knowledge about opioid overdose and risk-reduction strategies. 3. assess the proportion of participants who accept a list of local treatment providers 4. test the impact of AWAITS on interest in being tested for HCV/HIV.
The Primary Objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of HIV clinic-based extended-release Naltrexone (XR-NTX) in decreasing substance use and increasing HIV viral suppression in HIV-infected participants with opioid use disorder to Treatment as Usual in this population.
In 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.
This study will evaluate the abuse potential of ALKS 5461.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the abuse potential and safety of samidorphan in healthy, non-dependent, adult, recreational opioid users.
The main purpose of this study is to simulate if oxycodone and naltrexone combination capsules (ALO-02) were to be tampered with by dissolving and then injecting intravenously for the purpose of getting high.
To determine the relative abuse potential of VYCAVERT (hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen) compared to GENERIC H/A (hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen) when crushed and administered intranasally to non dependent, recreational opioid users.
The purpose of this study is to assess the relative abuse potential of the hydrocodone bitartrate extended-release tablet compared to immediate-release hydrocodone bitartrate.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine the abuse potential of EMBEDA compared to controlled release morphine when crushed and taken orally by non-dependent recreational opioid users; secondary purposes include to determine the abuse potential of crushed EMBEDA relative to placebo and and to compare the pharmacokinetics and safety of crushed EMBEDA with crushed controlled-release morphine and crushed placebo.
The purpose of this study is to examine how Buprenorphine, a form of opioid addiction treatment, changes the ability to think and reason among people addicted to opiates, who are either HIV negative or HIV positive. In addition, blood samples will be stored for HIV+ and HIV- individuals who take buprenorphine to study its effect. This study hypothesizes that the HIV positive participants will demonstrate significant improvement in thinking and reasoning ability at 3 and 6 months compared to baseline, but that their thinking and reasoning ability will still be lower than HIV negative participants. This study also hypothesizes the biomarkers in participants' blood samples will be associated with measures of change in thinking and reasoning ability.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the relative abuse potential of two different doses of orally administered Acurox Tablets to orally administered immediate-release (IR) oxycodone HCl tablets in non-dependent recreational opioid users.
Buprenorphine is a medication used to treat opioid addiction, but individuals who use this drug are at risk of abusing it. A buprenorphine and naloxone combination may reduce the likelihood of buprenorphine addiction. This study will evaluate the potential for abuse of buprenorphine and a buprenorphine and naloxone combination in non-dependent opioid users.
This study will determine the relative abuse potential of intact and chewed PF-00345439 (Oxycodone Extended-Release Capsules) compared to crushed oxycodone HCL immediate release (IR) tablets and placebo administered orally to non-dependent, recreational opioid users.
Patients on long-term opioid therapy are aging and now face magnified risk of harm with continued high-dose opioid use. These increased risks are due to age-related changes in drug metabolism, multi-morbidity, and polypharmacy. The dominant approach to mitigate these risks is to screen for aberrant patient opioid behaviors so that clinicians can pre-empt misuse early through review of contractual opioid agreements or by lowering patient dosages. By focusing on opioid misuse alone, this strategy encourages forced opioid tapering that is associated with opioid overdose and mental health crisis. Directing clinician attention to the comorbid conditions associated with opioid misuse may promote safer and more effective care. The objective of this study is to assess the comparative effectiveness of PainTracker, a set of questions that targets a broad range of problems associated with pain, in a randomized controlled trial involving 300 Northwestern Medicine clinicians treating Chronic Opioid Use Registry patients (n=5159).
