Filter by:This is a 16 week study of the efficacy of quetiapine in treating symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) in subjects with comorbid opiate dependence. The study will be conducted in a prospective, randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled fashion. Study subjects will be inpatients at a residential drug-treatment facility, enrolled in a 1 year methadone-to-abstinence treatment plan. Subjects will be randomized to receive either quetiapine or placebo in addition to ongoing drug addiction treatment. Subjects will be followed for 16 weeks and a variety of psychometric assessments will be made. Hypothesis One: Compared to placebo, Quetiapine will demonstrate a greater reduction in symptoms of anxiety in subjects with GAD and remitted comorbid opiate abuse. Exploratory Hypotheses: Compared to placebo, Quetiapine will demonstrate a greater improvement in psychosocial functioning and compliance with community norms in subjects enrolled in a residential drug addiction treatment facility.
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability on the oral mucosa of buprenorphine/naloxone film strips administered either sublingually or buccally daily for 12 weeks in opioid dependent individuals who are already on a stable regimen of buprenorphine/naloxone.
The purpose of this study is to compare the presence, degree, time course and profile of opioid withdrawal symptoms associated with induction onto new formulations of buprenorphine or buprenorphine/naloxone in persons with active opioid dependence. The primary outcome measure is the severity of withdrawal symptoms measured using the Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale (COWS). The primary study hypothesis is that neither drug formulation will precipitate an opioid withdrawal syndrome.
This study is designed to develop an effective psychotherapy for chronic pain and opioid dependence.
Buprenorphine (BPN) is an approved treatment for opioid dependence; however, in taking oral tablets, patients experience withdrawal and cravings when the variable BPN levels in the blood are low. Probuphine (buprenorphine implant) is an implant placed just beneath the skin that contains BPN. It is designed to provide 6 months of stable BPN blood levels. This study will test the safety and efficacy of Probuphine in the treatment of patient with opioid dependence. Patients who have completed 24 weeks of treatment in the Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multi-Center Study of Probuphine in Patients with Opioid Dependence, will be re-treated with Probuphine over an additional 24 weeks.
The purpose of this study was to expand access to buprenorphine using a mobile health care system among marginalized populations with or at high risk for HIV and observe longitudinal effects of treatment.
The purpose is to study how certain factors, including money, the amount of drug available and the amount of work effort, affect opiate drug choice.
The major goal is to determine whether adding cognitive behavioral therapy to physician management will increase the efficacy of buprenorphine/naloxone treatment in an office-based primary care setting.
This 18-week, randomized, double blind clinical trial provided treatment for 160 cocaine-dependent opioid addicts, aged 18-65 years. Participants were stabilized on LAAM maintenance during the first 4 weeks and cocaine use was assessed; participants were then stratified by level of cocaine use and randomly assigned to receive one of the following: placebo disulfiram (0 mg/day), disulfiram at 62.5 mg/day, disulfiram at 125 mg/day, or disulfiram at 250 mg/day. During induction onto LAAM, participants were administered increasing doses of LAAM plus placebo disulfiram on a thrice-weekly basis until maintenance doses of LAAM are attained. At the beginning of week 5, participants received LAAM plus disulfiram or placebo disulfiram according to their randomized assignments, and were maintained on these agents through week 16. At the end of the study, participants underwent detoxification from LAAM and active/placebo medication over a 4- to 6-week period. All participants received weekly 1-hour psychotherapy (Cognitive Behavioral Treatment) with experienced clinicians specifically trained to deliver the therapy and who received ongoing supervision. The primary outcomes were retention and reduction in opioid and cocaine use, as assessed by self-report and confirmed by thrice-weekly urinalyses. Secondary outcomes included reductions in other illicit drug and alcohol use, as well as improvements in psychosocial functioning.
In pilot study now proposed, we plan to randomly assign 60 opioid dependent patients to the new model, Depot-BNT, or to BNT plus oral naltrexone for a 6-month trial. This will provide initial clinical experience with the new Depot-BNT treatment model, while providing a rigorous test of whether Depot-BNT produces superior treatment outcome, compared to our best behavioral platform for oral naltrexone (BNT). The following aims will be addressed: Specific Aim #1: To test whether Depot-BNT increases retention in treatment and improves drug use outcome (urine-confirmed abstinent weeks) compared to our established model of BNT with oral naltrexone (BNT-Oral), and to explore whether Depot-BNT (vs BNT-Oral) improves key secondary outcomes including dysphoria, HIV risk behavior, and social functioning. Specific Aim #2: To explore predictors of outcome on Depot-BNT, and mechanisms of attrition, in order to optimize Depot-BNT prior to further testing.
