Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators will conduct a phase I study involving 41 participants selected randomly among patients prescribed buprenorphine-naloxone for opioid misuse as a feasibility trial of the study of the Pillsy device. The study will track the effectiveness of the Pillsy technology and associated smartphone application by measuring adherence to buprenorphine-naloxone therapy and patient satisfaction with the application and the Pillsy device.


Clinical Trial Description

The purpose of this randomized, controlled trial in Phase I is to determine whether the Pillsy intervention can improve adherence to buprenorphine-naloxone compared to Service As Usual. This will be a collaborative study between WSU, Pillsy, Inc, and the clinical site Ideal Options (opioid use and other substance use disorders treatment center). The overarching goal is to evaluate if the use of the Pillsy system will improve treatment adherence. The study coordinator will work closely with the clinical site, conducting a scripted screening, by phone or in person, documenting substance use, addiction treatment history, medical and psychiatric history, medication, addiction treatment goals, and availability of social support. The Pillsy device is a smart cap that tracks pill bottle openings and uses lighted reminders to prompt patients when to take their medication. The Pillsy Helper feature is a smartphone application that sends text and phone reminders as well as links to the participant named family and friend support networks. The Pillsy Helpers feature allows participants to name friends and family members who will also receive a text message notification 1 hour after a missed dose to reach out to offer support. In addition, the prescriber will be contacted when the patient has missed a dose, giving the prescriber the opportunity to intervene. Study participants will be randomized to one of two groups. The control group will receive the Pillsy cap alone. The active group will receive the Pillsy cap and smartphone application with associated benefits. To measure adherence, all participants will provide a urine sample at each study visit and complete a questionnaire (ex: AUDIT, Fagerstrom, Addiction Severity Index, Timeline Follow-Back) and survey that assesses their satisfaction with treatment. ;
