Sugar Doses for Low Blood Sugar
Cincinnati, Ohio
The purpose of this research study is to learn more about how sugar levels in the liver affect the ability of people both with and without type 1 diabetes. People with type 1 diabetes do not make their own insulin, and are therefore required to give themselves injections of insulin in order to keep their blood sugar under control. However, very often people with type 1 diabetes give themselves too much insulin and this causes their blood sugar to become very low, which can have a negative impact on their health. When the blood sugar becomes low, healthy people secrete hormones such as glucagon and epinephrine (i.e., adrenaline), which restore the blood sugar levels to normal by increasing liver glucose production into the blood. However, in people with type 1 diabetes, the ability to release glucagon and epinephrine is impaired and this reduces the amount of sugar the liver is able to release.
People with type 1 diabetes also have unusually low stores of sugar in their livers. It has been shown in animal studies that when the amount of sugar stored in the liver is increased, it increases the release of glucagon and epinephrine during insulin-induced hypoglycemia. In turn, this increase in hormone release boosts liver sugar production. However, it is not known if increased liver sugar content can influence these responses in people with and without type 1 diabetes. In addition, when people with type 1 diabetes do experience an episode of low blood sugar, it impairs their responses to low blood sugar the next day. It is also unknown whether this reduction in low blood sugar responses is caused by low liver sugar levels.
The investigators want to learn more about how liver sugar levels affect the ability to respond to low blood sugar.

Community Partnering for Opioid Use Disorder
Ypsilanti, Michigan
The opioid epidemic has become one of America's deadliest crises, surpassing car crashes, firearms, and HIV/AIDS as a leading cause of death for Americans under fifty years of age. People trying to recover from opioid-use disorder face many obstacles. Obstacles such as minor legal problems (e.g., arrest warrants for failure to pay a fine, failure to appear in court, or late child support payments) can undermine the stability needed to overcome opioid dependence. Outstanding legal obligations make it difficult to find jobs and to secure housing. They can result in removal from treatment programs as well as incarceration. Resolving these legal problems requires coordination, organization, preparation, travel, and time-expectations that may be problematic for many people in the early stages of recovery. Technology has the potential to make resolving these legal problems much easier. Online platform technology is now available that can guide people in recovery through the resolution of many legal problems at no cost and without an attorney, potentially doing so quickly, remotely, and at any time of day.
This study of individuals in treatment in Michigan tests whether resolving outstanding legal issues improves drug treatment outcomes. The research also examines whether and to what extent resolving legal issues supports family reunification, reduces future criminal behavior, and improves access to jobs and housing for clients in treatment for opioid use disorder. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) is used to determine the effects of resolving legal issues on these outcomes. For identification, the investigators leverage the random assignment of legal services to treatment center clients, along with the random assignment of clients to treatment centers by birth month. We assemble a novel longitudinal dataset of hundreds of clients in treatment for substance use disorder and link these clients to several administrative datasets and qualitative data, which allows for measurement of: (1) substance use behaviors and (2) justice-system involvement, including civil and criminal legal system encounters. This study also uses linked client and administrative data to research the population in opioid treatment centers, follow-up behaviors, and whether the consequences of providing no-cost legal services differ by client background. Findings from this research will improve America's understanding of the acute socio-legal needs faced by those experiencing opioid use disorder and provide recommendations to help target resources toward the areas that best support long-term abstinence from opioids and other drugs.

PulsePoint for Opioid Overdose
Bloomington, Indiana
This study is a feasibility trial to assess whether, in a random sample of 180 agencies where PulsePoint is already active, revised procedures (hereinafter PulsePoint-OD) to facilitate opioid overdose and naloxone distribution (OEND) can successfully recruit first responder agencies and layperson responders. For this study, agency refers to a single implementation site where PulsePoint is active and that is bound by the service area or jurisdiction of the first responder agency collaborating with PulsePoint.
The study will test the following hypotheses:
H1: more first responder agencies will be successfully recruited by arm 2 than by arm 1.
H2: more layperson responders will report engaging with OEND programming in arm 2 than in arms 1 or 3 and in arm 1 than in arm 3 \[only this hypothesis is covered by the IRB, hypothesis 1 is not human subjects research\].

RIMO for Opioid Use Disorder
Chicago, Illinois
This study targets individuals in Chicago who have received naloxone administered by first responders within the past week to reverse an overdose, but who have not entered into MAT. Study participants will be recruited through partnerships with the Chicago Fire Department (CFD) and/or Police Department (CPD); first responders will be trained to seek consent from individuals who are alert and oriented after receiving naloxone for future contacts by research staff as part of the naloxone standard protocol. Those who consent will be contacted and screened for study eligibility ideally within one week of naloxone administration; eligible participants will be randomly assigned either to the control group, i.e., referral to MAT as usual, or to Recovery Initiation and Management after Overdose (RIMO), an assertive linkage and recovery support intervention. This intervention builds on an evidence-based intervention for treatment linkage, monitoring, and recovery support evaluated in 3 prior clinical trials by the study team.

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).

Community Support & Education for Opioid Use Disorder
New York, New York
Military veterans in the U.S. represent one of the populations most disproportionately impacted by the current opioid crisis. Veterans who use opioids and are not connected to the VA healthcare system have high rates of homelessness and experience higher prevalence of comorbid substance use disorder and mental health diagnoses than their "service-connected" counterparts. Due to these vulnerabilities and the observed barriers to testing and treatment among veterans-especially substance- and mental health-related stigma, drug naiveté, and limited support networks-veterans who use opioids represent a critical target for interventions designed to mitigate overdose and HIV/HCV risk behaviors. For socially isolated veterans and veterans with limited access to healthcare, programs that work outside of formal healthcare institutions and agencies are desperately needed. This application proposes to achieve the following Aims: 1) Evaluate the effectiveness of a peer-delivered, community-based education, navigation and support (CENS) intervention to reduce opioid-related risk behaviors; 2) Examine factors that mediate (e.g., knowledge, self-efficacy, self-stigma) and moderate (e.g., mental health, pain/OUD severity, age) intervention effectiveness; and 3) Explore intervention participants' and peer outreach staff perspectives on implementation as well as barriers to and facilitators of intervention effectiveness. The proposed intervention will be delivered by veteran peer outreach workers. The study will recruit 300 veterans with opioid use disorder to participate in a randomized controlled trial. The CENS intervention will engage 150 participants in ongoing educational sessions, healthcare and treatment navigation, and social support (involving both one-on-one and group social integration protocols) designed to improve self-efficacy, reduce self-stigma, increase service and healthcare utilization, and bolster knowledge. This study stands to contribute a timely, culturally-tailored innovation to overdose and HIV/HCV prevention-as-usual that, informed by the theory of triadic influence, directly confronts the social, intrapersonal, and structural-level barriers to opioid-related risk reduction among veterans. Study findings will be of great interest to community-based and civic healthcare organizations that provide overdose and HIV/HCV risk reduction outreach, as well as to agencies committed to improving healthcare engagement among veterans.

Overdose Prevention Support for Overdoses
New York, New York
Permanent supportive housing (PSH), the gold standard intervention for ending chronic homelessness, has expanded rapidly across the U.S. in recent years. Due to a confluence of individual and environmental risk factors, PSH tenants face heightened risk for overdose. While evidence-based practices to prevent overdose exist, they have not been broadly implemented in PSH settings. This study will address this research to practice gap by studying the implementation of evidence-based practices to prevent overdose in 20 PSH buildings in New York. In a community-partnered stepped wedge randomized controlled trial, the investigators will study a package of implementation strategies that includes an implementation toolkit, tenant and staff implementation champions, limited practice facilitation, and learning collaboratives. Outcomes will be examined using surveys and qualitative interviews with PSH tenants and staff; observation; and analysis of Medicaid claims data.

Ganchero Intervention for Drug Overdose and Infection Risk
New York, New York
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to learn if an intervention that trains Gancheros (people who provide injection services in exchange for drugs or money) to conduct risk-reduction outreach could help lower risk for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and overdose among migrant Puerto Rican people who inject drugs (PWID) in New York City. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Can the Ganchero intervention be carried out successfully and will Gancheros and their clients like it?
* Could the Ganchero intervention help Puerto Rican PWID who are clients of Gancheros use sterile syringes and carry naloxone (a medication to reverse opioid overdoses) more often?
Gancheros who participate in the trial will be asked to attend a 6-session training on HIV, HCV, and overdose prevention and then to share key prevention messages and supplies (e.g., naloxone, sterile syringes and other injection equipment) with their clients during 4 months of outreach. The intervention will be carried out with Gancheros and their clients in two Bronx neighborhoods, one after the other, so the investigators can see if clients in the neighborhood that received the intervention first have better outcomes than clients in the neighborhood that did not yet receive the intervention.

RIVER for Grief
Birmingham, Alabama
The United States is facing unprecedented rates of drug overdose deaths, profoundly impacting millions of families who are left to navigate their grief. Those bereaved by overdose experience a unique form of grief characterized by feelings of guilt, shame, and blame, which can worsen their suffering and deter them from seeking help. Individuals coping with overdose loss often endure more severe health consequences compared to those grieving non-drug related deaths, including prolonged grief disorder, substance use disorders, PTSD, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Moreover, bereaved individuals, particularly those with a history of substance use, may engage in risky behaviors as a means of coping, further exacerbating the risk of overdose and mortality within this vulnerable population. Peer grief support interventions have emerged as a promising approach to assist those experiencing such losses. To combat these outcomes, we are collaborating with Peer Community Support Partners (PSCP) in a novel practice-research partnership to implement the RIVER peer grief support model. Though RIVER has shown success in community settings, it has yet to be rigorously evaluated. In a three-aim approach, this study aims to assess the effectiveness of the RIVER model while also enhancing and engaging grievers with support resources via medical examiner offices (MEOs), which routinely contact families during death investigations. This research represents a pivotal advancement in addressing the needs of the overlooked bereaved community, aligning with the NIH's Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEAL) initiative to develop effective strategies against the opioid crisis. Together, community engagement and rigorous research efforts aim to enhance support for those affected by the tragedy of drug overdose.

Injectable Medication Platforms for Medical Treatments
Ottawa, Ontario
Background:
While medical advances for in-hospital care rapidly evolve, a mainstay of effective pre-hospital care remains the ability to treat medical emergencies such as anaphylaxis, prolonged seizure, overdose, or uncontrolled bleeding, through rapid administration of appropriate medication. Autoinjectors are used globally to deliver medications in a timely manner, often in environments where immediate access to medical facilities is limited. Rapid administration of intramuscular medication delivery is essential where oral or intravenous delivery is either not possible or ineffective. The purpose of the proposed study seeks to determine the efficiency various types of medication injection administration.

Overdose Education for Opioid Overdose
Hartford, Connecticut
While there is a lifesaving medication called naloxone that can reverse the deadly effects of opioid overdose, patients often fail to fill the prescription at the pharmacy when it is prescribed. This is particularly concerning and true in those at the highest risk of death-those who end up in the emergency department for opioid overdose. The goal of this study is to compare the impact of different overdose education on naloxone prescription fill rates in opioid users being discharged from our hospital emergency department. You will receive either (a) written education about naloxone through their MyChart account, or (b) a concise one-page handout and 4-minute video clip reviewed with the participant and a support individual (family/friend) prior to discharge.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Overdose 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 Overdose 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 Overdose 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 Overdose 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 Overdose 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 Overdose clinical trials?
Most recently, we added Naloxone for Opioid Overdose and Cardiac Arrest, RIVER for Grief and Peer Support for Opioid Use Disorder to the Power online platform.
