Buprenorphine as Adjunct to Outpatient Induction Onto Vivitrol

February 4, 2022 updated by: Adam Bisaga, New York State Psychiatric Institute
The study will enroll 30 opioid-dependent participants into an open-label pilot outpatient study of methods to facilitate induction and stabilization onto XR-NTX. There will be three different methods of XR-NTX induction using increasing doses of oral naltrexone and buprenophine.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Procedure 1: 5-day induction with increasing doses of oral naltrexone. Participants will receive XR-NTX on day five together with buprenorphine, and will continue receiving buprenorphine for 4 weeks until they receive 2nd XR-NTX dose.

Procedure 2: 10-day induction with buprenorphine administered daily and increasing daily doses of oral naltrexone beginning on day 2 . On day 10 participants will receive XR-NTX dose, and another one 4 weeks later. No buprenorphine will be given beyond day 10.

Procedure 3: 10-day induction with buprenorphine administered daily and increasing daily doses of oral naltrexone beginning on day 2 . On day 10 participants will receive XR-NTX dose, and another one 4 weeks later. Buprenorphine will continue for 4 weeks until the 2nd XR-NTX dose.

All participants will receive weekly therapy with a study psychiatrist. All participants will receive open-label medication.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 60 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No
