Indianapolis, Indiana
This project seeks to address the overdose epidemic by working with overdose fatality review (OFR) teams. Current OFR practices rely on a case review model where OFR teams assess one or two overdose cases to make policy and program recommendations. However, the continued rise in overdose rates and number of preventable overdose deaths suggest a need to shift OFR teams away from case review and toward using timely population-level data to better inform their recommendations and actions.
The goal of this project, Fatal Overdose Review Teams - Research to Enhance Surveillance Systems (FORTRESS), is to improve standard OFR practices by equipping OFRs with a data dashboard built on near real-time aggregate data, linked across multiple sources and presented in a way that helps identify common "overdose touchpoints," or opportunities to connect individuals at risk for overdose with evidence-based treatment.
During the first project phase, the FORTRESS team will design the "Overdose Touchpoints Dashboard'' (Aim 1). The FORTRESS team will also train OFR team members in "Data-Driven Decision Making" (DDDM) to effectively use the dashboard. The FORTRESS team also includes individuals involved in developing the CDC's OFR best practice guidelines and a pilot study of OFR adherence to these guidelines, which will inform the FORTRESS team's development of an "OFR Fidelity Tool'' (Aim 2). This tool will be the first of its kind.
For the second project phase, the FORTRESS team will conduct a cluster-randomized stepped-wedge trial comparing the impact of the intervention (dashboard + DDDM training) versus standard OFR practices on both implementation (Aim 3) and effectiveness outcomes (Aim 4). Implementation outcomes include implementation process fidelity (Stages of Implementation Completion), staff acceptance of harm reduction philosophies (qualitative interviews), OFR fidelity to CDC best practices (FORTRESS OFR Fidelity Tool), and usability of the Overdose Touchpoint Dashboard, (Systems Usability Scale). A statewide OFR data repository serves as a rich source of data on effectiveness outcomes, including OFR team recommendation quality and local actions to implement recommended overdose prevention strategies. The FORTRESS team will also survey OFR team members to assess changes in their attitudes toward evidence-based overdose prevention strategies. In sum, the FORTRESS team is uniquely qualified to help OFRs use more comprehensive available data to inform quality, action-oriented recommendations to reduce overdose. Funding for this project comes from the HEAL Initiative (https://heal.nih.gov/).

Learning Health System Intervention for Substance Use Disorders
Indianapolis, Indiana
Youth involved in the juvenile justice system (YJJ) bear a disproportionate burden of the addiction crisis. YJJ substance use (SU) is extremely prevalent, with a third of YJJ meeting criteria for a substance use disorder (SUD). The investigators seek to address the national addiction crisis at its epicenter.
Despite their high need for SUD services, and the proliferation of evidence-based interventions to reduce SU, YJJ are rarely connected to needed, high-quality SU care. A care cascade model highlights gaps in YJJ achieving the full continuum of SUD care (i.e., SUD risk identification, treatment referral, treatment initiation, and treatment engagement). YJJ on community supervision/probation face a unique problem accessing SUD services; while the courts or probation may identify YJJ need for SUD care, YJJ must receive care through healthcare agencies in the community. The primary goal of the project, Alliances to Disseminate Addiction Prevention and Treatment (ADAPT) is to address this and other gaps along the care cascade for YJJ. The investigators will accomplish this goal by creating alliances between the juvenile justice system (JJ) agencies and community mental health centers (CMHCs) in eight Indiana counties.
ADAPT takes a two-pronged approach. First, the investigators will employ a Learning Health System (LHS) to develop collaborative alliances between JJ agencies and CMHCs, organizations that traditionally operate independently. Second, the investigators will present local Cascade data during continuous quality improvement cycles within the LHS alliances. By offering agency representatives an opportunity to view and discuss, for example, the local rate at which YJJ with SUD risk are initiating CMHC SU services, the investigators will facilitate development of tailored, local solutions to improve the Cascade for each county's YJJ.
To maximize long-term sustainability of ADAPT's JJ-CMHC alliances, the investigators will conduct this research in collaboration with leaders from an existing statewide initiative, the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI). JDAI is a juvenile justice reform effort that utilizes data-driven decision-making and is implemented in almost 300 counties across the US. If this project is successful, the JDAI infrastructure and support for this research will inform sustainment and expansion across Indiana and the nation.
The investigators hypothesize that ADAPT - novel LHS alliances using Cascade data to implement localized solutions to YJJ receiving evidence-based addictions care - will positively impact SU and recidivism outcomes over time. The investigators seek to complete the following specific aims:
AIM 1: Implement LHS alliances between JJ agencies and CMHCs. The investigators will establish LHS alliances: novel, collaborative partnerships between JJ agencies and CMHCs.
AIM 2: Generate and track local solutions to address gaps in the Cascade for YJJ in rural Indiana counties. Quantifying local Cascade data will enable JJ agencies and CMHCs to suggest and implement tailored, evidenced-based interventions, which will be tracked through LHS quality improvement cycles.
AIM 3: Assess implementation outcomes and processes. We will assess implementation outcomes, such as system alliance, among JJ and CHMC personnel using mixed methods.
AIM 4: Assess the impact of ADAPT. Conduct a stepped wedge cluster randomized controlled trial to assess the impact of LHS alliances on the Cascade for YJJ. We will analyze administrative data linked across JJ and health systems to assess the long-term, community-wide effects of ADAPT on public health and safety outcomes (e.g., lower rates of SU-related outcomes and criminal recidivism).

Acetazolamide for Central Sleep Apnea in Opioid Users
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Patients with opioid use disorder treated with either methadone or buprenorphine are at risk of developing central sleep apnea (CSA) from these medications. Investigators will conduct a mechanistic trial using acetazolamide, a medicine known to improve CSA in other settings, to determine if acetazolamide can improve CSA due to medication for opioid use disorder and whether this leads to physiologic changes that might lead to reduced drug craving. Patients treated with medication for opioid use disorder and who have central sleep apnea will be randomized to treatment with acetazolamide or matching placebo for 7 days. At the end of the 7 days, they will undergo an overnight sleep study to assess the impact on breathing during sleep as well as sleep quality. In addition, measures of sympathetic tone, anxiety, arousal, cognition, and drug craving will be measured to determine if treatment of CSA with acetazolamide can produce physiologic changes that might contribute to improved health.

Virtual Reality Intervention for Opioid Use Disorder
Indianapolis, Indiana
The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate the commercial potential for a novel virtual reality (VR) intervention in preparation for Phase II development. This clinical trial will test the VR intervention for efficacy in reducing opioid use, increasing abstinence, and other self-reported and behavioral focus on future outcomes in individuals in early recovery from opioid use disorder.
* Will the VR group, compared to the control group, have a lower number of opioid use days?
* Will the VR group, compared to the control group, have longer periods of abstinence at the 30-day follow-up?
* Will the VR group, compared to the control group, have significantly increased opioid abstinence rates?
* Will the VR group, compared to baseline and the control group, show increased future self-identification post-VR intervention?
* Will the VR group, compared to baseline and the control group, show increased future orientation post-VR intervention?
* Will the VR group, compared to baseline and the control group, show an increased preference for delayed rewards in a laboratory delay discounting task post-VR intervention?
* Will the VR group, compared to baseline and the control group, exceed in behavioral effects (i.e., future self-identification, future orientation, and increased preference for delayed rewards) at the 30-day follow-up?
Researchers will compare the VR test group and the control group to see if there are differences in the results for the questions outlined above.

Mobile App Support for Opioid Use Disorder
Indianapolis, Indiana
The COVID-19 pandemic puts individuals recovering from opioid use disorders (OUDs), an already vulnerable population, at increased risk of overdose due to decreased access to treatment, decreased social support, and increased psychosocial stress. This proposal will test the efficacy of a promising mobile app-based peer support program, compared to usual care, in increasing recovery capital, improving retention in treatment, and reducing psychosocial adverse effects, among a national sample of people in recovery from OUD. If effective, it would provide an accessible, personalized, and scalable approach to OUD recovery increasingly needed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Recovery Management Checkups for Opioid Use Disorder
Chicago, Illinois
The experiment will be conducted in collaboration with 6 jails representing discrete geographic counties in Illinois and the opioid treatment providers (OTP) that serve them. It will compare a re-entry as usual control group with two experimental groups in terms of their impact on the OUD service cascade, as well as public health and public safety outcomes. Study recruitment sites are six jails that provide treatment with medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) to inmates with OUD prior to their release. At the time of their release to the community, 750 men and women will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups: a) a re-entry as usual control, b) RMC with monthly checkups for 3 months post-release followed by quarterly checkups up to 2 years, or c) an adaptive version of RMC (RMC-A) that includes a modified checkup schedule based on each individual's pattern of treatment need. All participants will complete research interviews at release and quarterly thereafter up to 2 years post-enrollment.

Measurement-Based Care for Opioid Use Disorder
Chicago, Illinois
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation of measurement-based care, which involves the systematic use of client self-report data to inform and enhance treatment, in opioid treatment programs using a pilot hybrid effectiveness-implementation study design. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1) is measurement based care effective for improving patient treatment attendance and opioid abstinence, and 2) can measurement based care be implemented with fidelity in opioid treatment programs? Participants in this study will be opioid treatment program leaders and treatment providers. Leaders and treatment providers will participate in measurement-based care implementation strategies such as training and consultation to help them use measurement-based care with their patients. There is no comparison group for this study, however researchers will compare effectiveness outcomes prior to and post measurement-based care implementation and will evaluate changes in measurement-based care use with fidelity post implementation.

Peer Support for Opioid Use Disorder
Chicago, Illinois
Fatal opioid overdoses are more frequent among populations with low access to harm reduction (HR) services and with high substance use-related stigma (which is a major barrier to accessing HR services). One such population is older adults who use drugs (PWUD) on the West side of Chicago. Over 34% of Chicago's opioid-related EMS responses in 2023 were located in communities on the West side, but older adults in these communities access HR services at low rates, likely due to stigma and other barriers. To help address these barriers and increase HR service access among this population, the proposed clinical trial will evaluate a novel intervention that will recruit non-substance-using friends and family members of people who use opioids and live on the West side of Chicago, educate them on HR tools and services, and train them to become peer HR support champions. They will be asked to recruit one friend or family member who uses opioids to the study, who will also be provided with an educational training on overdose risk reduction and available HR tools and services. The intervention will then facilitate a counselor-led initial conversation between peer HR support champions and their friend or family member who uses opioids to help establish HR support, and provide all participants with naloxone and fentanyl test strip kits. This intervention will not only provide another mechanism through which PWUD can access HR tools and services, thereby reducing logistical barriers, but should also reduce stigma and increase social support by facilitating and normalizing open conversations about HR between PWUD and their non-PWUD HR support champions. Participants of a previous focus group conducted by the Investigators among West side PWUD thought this intervention would be helpful, said they would be willing to participate in it, and said they knew someone who could participate as their non-PWUD peer HR support champion. To facilitate recruitment of older adults, the Investigative Team will work with local faith-based and service organizations and educate them about the importance of HR. The intervention's efficacy will be evaluated for a) increasing uptake/use of HR services, b) decreasing overdose frequency, and c) decreasing stigma and other barriers to accessing HR services, both i) by examining change over time among intervention participants, and ii) by using propensity-score matching methods to compare outcomes between intervention participants and a comparison group of PWUD who have recently accessed HR services from one of the study's community partners (Community Outreach Intervention Projects or West Side Heroin and Opioid Task Force).

Contingency Management for Stimulant Use Disorder
Chicago, Illinois
Stimulants constitute a new and deadly fourth wave of the opioid epidemic. Contingency management is the most effective intervention for stimulant use and is an evidence-based adjunct to medication for opioid use disorder. Yet, uptake of contingency management in opioid treatment programs that provide medication for opioid use disorder remains low; in fact, access to contingency management is arguably one of the greatest research-to-practice gaps in the addiction treatment services field. The goal of this study is to conduct a type III hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial to evaluate a multi-level implementation strategy, the Science of Service Laboratory, to install contingency management for stimulant use in opioid treatment programs. The Science of Service Laboratory has three core components: didactic training, performance feedback, and external facilitation.
Utilizing a stepped wedge design, a regional cohort of 10 public sector opioid treatment programs will be randomized to receive Science of Service Laboratory at five distinct time points. At six intervals, each of the 10 opioid treatment programs will provide de-identified electronic medical record data from all available patient charts on contingency management delivery and patient outcomes. Staff from each opioid treatment program will provide feedback on contextual determinants influencing implementation. This study will rigorously evaluate whether a multi-level implementation strategy developed by one of the longest-standing national intermediary purveyor organizations-the SAMHSA Technology Transfer Centers, will improve both implementation and patient outcomes.

TAP Blocks for Postoperative Pain
Hamilton, Ontario
This clinical trial aims to determine the optimal timing for administering a Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block in bariatric surgery, specifically investigating whether initiating TAP blocks at the beginning of surgery is more beneficial than at the end, which is the current practice. The study targets obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery, with a focus on reducing postoperative pain and opioid use. Key outcomes include recovery duration, pain levels, opioid consumption, and respiratory function. Successful results could establish early TAP block initiation as a standard practice, offering faster recovery, decreased opioid reliance, and reduced healthcare costs.

App-Based Contingency Management for Substance Use Disorders
Chicago, Illinois
The OVERALL AIM is to assess whether app-based incentives are effective for older adults and to quantify the associations between age and both the efficacy and take-up of app-based incentives. This will allow us to determine if older adults with substance use disorders (SUDs) are willing to engage with app-based incentives and whether they perform similarly to their younger counterparts. Because the study will leverage data from an existing study on app-based incentives, a small add-on study is sufficient to address these three aims. This aim will be achieved while simultaneously gathering data that will shed light on the two aims of the first phase of the study: whether app-based incentives are effective overall, and how to optimize the size of incentives over time to maximize their effectiveness.

Youth Engagement Strategy for Opioid Use Disorder
Winston-Salem, North Carolina
Phase 1 will consist of a small pilot Open Trial (OT). The objective of Phase 1 is to develop an organization-level Youth Engagement (YE) prevention strategy and implement it in a community-based organization to test feasibility and acceptability in an open trial with one organization. This will include developing a manual for systematically incorporating YE into prevention efforts in community settings. Phase 2 will consist of a small pilot Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT). Four prevention organizations will be randomized either to include Youth Engagement in prevention efforts (treatment) or not (control). The study team will attempt to match the treatment and control groups on relevant characteristics such as geographic location (e.g., urban, rural), population served (e.g., church-based, school-based), and/or prior Youth Engagement involvement. The objective of the second phase of this study is to evaluate the preliminary effectiveness of YE as a prevention strategy for opioid misuse in a small pilot randomized control trial (RCT). This pilot study will examine the effects of the YE prevention strategy on (a) organization-level outcomes, such as perceived value added to prevention programming and (b) individual-level outcomes such as personal skills and attitudes as well as knowledge and attitudes about substances including opioids. Up to 15 leaders/staff and 45 youth/young adults (60 people overall) will be recruited for the study.

The aim of this study is to determine if a standardized evidence-based opioid prescription following elective hand and forearm surgery at Toronto Western Hospital (TWH) will decrease the number of unused opioid pills consumed by patients while still maintaining adequate pain control as compared to usual treatment. Currently, no standardized prescription exists at our institution.

Oral Cannabinoids for Chronic Pain
Toronto, Ontario
The investigators are conducting a pilot (i.e. a small study) in order to find out the effectiveness and safety of medical cannabis in the management of chronic pain. At the end of this 3 month study, investigators will gather information on how easy it is for patients to enroll and complete the entire study. The results of this pilot study will help the study team design a larger randomized controlled trial.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Opioid Use Disorder clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Opioid Use Disorder clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Opioid Use Disorder trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Opioid Use Disorder is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Opioid Use Disorder medical study?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest Opioid Use Disorder clinical trials?
Most recently, we added Cabotegravir + Buprenorphine for Opioid Use Disorder, Stress Interventions for Opioid Use Disorder and TMS for Opioid Use Disorder to the Power online platform.
