Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this project is to study brain functions of 20 heroin addicts (compared to brain functions of 20 healthy controls) just before and during a three month extended release naltrexone treatment using functional MRI and dopamine transporter SPECT.

The following hypotheses are tested:

- XRNT modulates the fMRI response to drug cues in predetermined brain regions.

- The expression of striatal transporters (assessed with SPECT) will decrease after a three-month course of extended release naltrexone


Clinical Trial Description

Heroin dependence is a quintessential international health problem, with a significant prevalence. Drug free treatments, including pharmacologically supported interventions using oral naltrexone, have not been very successful, mainly due to low compliance. The recent introduction of Vivitrol®, consisting of monthly injections, may create new opportunities. Vivitrol® is an innovative treatment delivery method that blocks the rewarding effects of heroin. ;
