Medication Maintenance Therapy in Community Pharmacy Settings

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this study is to compare pharmacy-based medication assisted treatment (MAT) with usual care MAT for people with opioid use disorder.

Clinical Trial Description

This study compares pharmacy-based medication assisted treatment (MAT) with usual care MAT. This will be the first study to use a randomized controlled trial design to test the multisite implementation of known effective interventions to treat opioid use disorder and prevent fatal opioid overdose (treatment with buprenorphine and natlrexone) in a community pharmacy setting. Understanding how this model can improve engagement in care within innovative systems of MAT delivery like the Rhode Island Centers of Excellence in MAT model as well as the more traditional office based opioid therapy (OBOT) arrangement, and for patients with shorter and longer time on stabilized MAT doses advances the science of addiction health services. This study presents an opportunity to compare clinical outcomes of patients randomized to receive the same medications but in different settings that are equipped with differing levels of counseling expectations and access to wrap-around services. In this way, the trial helps to inform whether-and for whom--the limited support services in the pharmacy are sufficient to engage and retain patients in MAT, or if ready access to comprehensive services are necessary. Approximately 86% of Americans live within 5 miles of a pharmacy, making pharmacists the most accessible health care professionals. This model could redefine the role of the pharmacy. The completed initial phase of the study (Phase 1) involved a pilot of the pharmacy MAT care model. The current phase of the study (Phase 2) is a randomized controlled trial comparing the pharmacy MAT care model to usual MAT care. The aim of the current phase is to conduct a randomized controlled trial of 250 medication-stabilized (with BNX or NTX) patients with OUD receiving MAT care in Rhode Island, comparing engagement and clinical outcomes for patients followed up in a usual care model to those maintained and followed up in a pharmacy MAT care model. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
