The overall goal for the proposed project is to test the effectiveness of BCBT for the prevention of suicide attempts in a sample of treatment-seeking U.S. military personnel and veterans. The standard null hypothesis will involve tests conducted comparing improvement following BCBT (treatment duration of 12 weeks) to Person-Centered Therapy (PCT). The primary outcome comparisons will include direct markers of suicidality (i.e. suicide, suicide attempts). Secondary outcomes will be suicide ideation and indicators of psychiatric distress (e.g., depression, hopelessness). We also aim to assess several hypothesized psychological and neurocognitive mediators of treatment effects (e.g., wish to live, attentional bias, emotion regulation). Participants will be followed for 2 years posttreatment by independent evaluators blind to treatment condition.

This is a two phase study investigating combinations of pharmacological and behavioral interventions to optimize the treatment of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). The Retention Phase will assess strategies for improving retention on buprenorphine (BUP) and extended-release injectable naltrexone (XR-NTX). The Discontinuation Phase will assess which approaches are most likely to lead to long-term success (absence of relapse), and what characteristics of participants distinguish those who can safely discontinue Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) from those who remain at risk of relapse and should not discontinue.

The United States is experiencing an unprecedented opioid epidemic with a rapid increase in overdose deaths. Medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) including methadone, buprenorphine, and extended-release naltrexone are efficacious and the recommended standard of care, yet barriers to sustained MOUD treatment reduce the overall efficacy of MOUD. Rates of MOUD retention are alarmingly low and MOUD dropout predicts opioid use/relapse, overdose, and death. While previous research has identified predictors of MOUD retention and adherence, there are no evidence-based interventions to improve MOUD retention. Recovery support services are a broad set of strategies to promote healthy outcomes among individuals with substance use disorder (SUD) that are typically separate from standard professional treatment. Among those strategies most utilized are peer recovery support services (PRSS) and recovery residences (RRs). PRSS include coaching, mentoring, education, and other supports delivered by individuals uniquely qualified by their lived experience with SUD. PRSS are increasingly utilized in a range of clinical settings, and advantages of PRSS include inherent shared understanding of addiction and a high degree of acceptance and understanding that is not found in most professional relationships. Existing research tentatively supports PRSS; however, the evidence to date is sparse and comes with significant methodological limitations and inconsistencies that make it difficult to conclude the efficacy of PRSS. No studies have examined the role of PRSS in promoting retention in MOUD. RRs provide a supportive living environment for persons in recovery from SUD and are widely utilized in the United States with an estimated 17,943 residences in 2020. Despite their proliferation, the evidence for RRs is only moderate and diminished by methodological weaknesses. Further, individuals on MOUD seeking housing through RRs often face increased MOUD-related stigma or may be disqualified from a RR for taking MOUD and need additional support to navigate these challenges. The potential synergistic benefits of combining PRSS and RRs to improve MOUD retention are considerable. PRSS and RRs are already mainstays in the recovery support services repertoire and could be leveraged to support MOUD retention. For example, more frequent, informal outreach typical of PRSS could facilitate regular monitoring of shifting attitudes and behaviors related to MOUD. The structure and accountability embedded in RRs could be used to support MOUD adherence and retention. Waxing and waning motivation to participate in MOUD treatment is common, and standard treatment is often unsuccessful at identifying early signs of future dropout or facilitating re-engagement after dropout. We will recruit participants on MOUD in RRs and provide them with PRSS using approaches such as recovery coaching and care navigation with a particular focus on supporting retention in MOUD care. PRSS will also provide assertive outreach between episodes of care, emphasize continuation in treatment and other recovery activities after leaving a RR (either successfully or unsuccessfully), and emphasize return to care after treatment dropout and/or relapse. The peers will be deeply embedded within the local provider community and care continuum to facilitate ease of care navigation. The ultimate goal of our research agenda is to test the efficacy of a PRSS intervention among individuals with OUD living in RRs through a rigorous trial. The eventual trial design would be informed by preparatory activities and experience proposed in this planning project. Preparatory activities proposed in this project include three major phases. Phase 1 - preparation for the intervention including: building a network of RRs that will be recruitment sites in the pilot RCT, recruiting and training peer support specialists, conducting focus groups and interviews to gather stakeholder input, and developing PRSS approaches to promote MOUD retention. Phase 2 - pilot test the PRSS intervention by randomizing N=50 individuals on MOUD recruited from collaborating RRs to either: a 24-week course of the PRSS intervention added to usual services, or usual services without the PRSS intervention. Phase 3 - gather additional input from former participants and RR staff post-intervention to further refine the intervention, and use lessons learned to inform our trial design and data collection procedures for the next-step R01 application.

Naltrexone for Alcoholism

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a treatable and common condition encountered in the emergency department, but unfortunately is rarely directly addressed in emergency departments nationwide. To our knowledge, initiation of medication assisted therapy (MAT) for AUD in the emergency department setting has not been widely adopted. Our project is novel for its scope to use a medication well-tested in the outpatient environment and bring it to the emergency department in order to more effectively link patients to outpatient alcohol use reduction therapy as part of a medication assisted therapy (MAT). The investigators are proposing a feasibility project to initiate oral naltrexone to eligible ED patients deemed to have alcohol use disorder and who are interested in cutting down their drinking. The investigators plan to connect these patients with outpatient follow-up in our own community practice center (CPC) for intramuscular (IM) Vivitrol injections under the supervision of the Einstein Toxicology Department. Through the CPC, patients can also be referred to other supporting services such as Alcoholics Anonymous for multidisciplinary care. The investigators are optimistic that this innovative warm hand off from the initial ED visit to outpatient follow-up will ultimately decrease problematic drinking, improve patient's health, and benefit the hospital. Our main objective is to establish a pathway to encourage patients who present to the emergency room with acute sequelae of alcohol use disorder to enter outpatient treatment. Our intervention will be the initiation of oral naltrexone with warm handoff to the Community Practice Center where patients will be transitioned to intramuscular (IM) Vivitrol for chronic maintenance therapy. Thus success will be measured by primarily: percentage of patients who make it to their first outpatient visit for the Vivitrol injection, percentage of patients who continue with treatment and continue to receive Vivitrol for their second injection.

Naltrexone for Anxiety

Los Angeles, California
University of California, Los Angeles researchers will recruit healthy participants (age 18-35) to participate in a study examining whether the administration of naltrexone, an opioid antagonist, eliminates the ability of social support figure reminders to enhance fear extinction--a process during which a threatening cue is learned to not predict a negative or threatening outcome (i.e., electric shock) by being repeatedly presented in the absence of that outcome. After undergoing an email screening, a telephone screening, an in lab screening, and a health screening, 60 participants will be enrolled in the study. During the experiment, 30 participants will be administered naltrexone and 30 participants will be administered placebo (both participants and experimenters will be blind to condition) before undergoing a fear extinction procedure in which threatening cues--cues that predict electric shock--will be paired with either an image of a social support figure (provided by participants) or a second threatening cue. These pairings will be presented repeatedly in the absence of shock in order for fear extinction to occur. Participants will return for a follow-up test to determine if fear extinction was successful.

The goal of this clinical trial is to identify sex-specific biomarkers that confer greater susceptibility for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and differentiate how treatment response varies by sex in people with Alcohol Use Disorder. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How does trauma affect emotion regulation, inflammation, and limbic function, and what are the sex-dependent effects of NTX (Naltrexone) on these aspects? * What is the mechanism of Naltrexone (NTX), and how does it potentially moderate reductions in alcohol use through changes in or interactions between emotion regulation, inflammation, or limbic system function? Participants will * Be consented and will undergo comprehensive screening for eligibility criteria * Complete behavioral assessments and neuropsychological assessments, as well as neurocognitive assessments and neuroimaging measures * Provide urine samples for a urine drug screen (UDS) and urine pregnancy test (for women), and have blood and a cheek swab collected and stored in the repository * Take a study drug once daily for 12 weeks and track drug usage and effects in a study journal * Undergo weekly assessment calls and bi-weekly medical follow-up safety exams Researchers will compare naltrexone to placebo in AUD to see if naltrexone is effective in reducing alcohol cravings and promoting abstinence. Researchers will also compare baseline measures between AUD and Healthy Controls.

Approximately half a million Veterans receiving services at the VA have Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD is strongly associated with cognitive functioning deficits in areas of concentration, attention, memory, learning, verbal abilities, processing speed, and multitasking. Compensatory Cognitive Training (CCT) is an evidence-based intervention for cognitive problems that is effective in other Veteran populations such as those with a history of traumatic brain injury (TBI), but CCT has not yet been tested in Veterans with PTSD who don't have a history of TBI. The investigators will conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) of CCT in Veterans who have been treated for PTSD but continue to have cognitive functioning deficits. The investigators will examine feasibility, acceptability, participant characteristics, and effect size estimates in preparation for a fully-powered RCT of CCT for PTSD-related cognitive functioning deficits.

The goal of this clinical trial is to see if an injectable medicine called naltrexone can prevent fentanyl overdose deaths in people who use other drugs (cocaine, methamphetamine). The main questions it aims to answer are: What are the challenges for implementing naltrexone as an overdose prevention strategy? Are injections of naltrexone effective for opioid overdose prevention among people who use stimulants? How often are people who use stimulants and do not intentionally use opioids unintentionally exposed to opioids? Researchers will compare participants to receive the study medication to the usual care group to see if one group experiences fewer opioid overdose events than the other. Participants will be randomized to either receive a monthly injection of naltrexone over six months, or receive usual care. Usual care includes harm reduction supplies. Laboratory procedures will include the collection of urine, blood, and hair samples for various safety and outcome measure testing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do 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 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 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 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 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 clinical trials ?
Most recently, we added Naltrexone for Drug Overdose Prevention, Low Dose Naltrexone for Central Neuropathic Pain and Psilocybin + taVNS for Enhancing Psychedelic Experiences to the Power online platform.
