Study Summary

This trial is testing a new approach to treating opioid use disorder - a vaccine targeted against oxycodone. The goal is to develop a vaccine against oxycodone and heroin. The study will test safety, antibody production, and efficacy.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-59 with moderate to severe opioid use disorder who are not seeking treatment and prefer drugs other than certain prescription opioids. They must be able to follow the study plan, weigh less than 300 pounds, have no major health issues like kidney problems or high blood pressure, and women must use birth control if of childbearing potential.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests a vaccine aimed at treating opioid addiction by generating antibodies against oxycodone. It will assess safety, antibody production, and effectiveness in reducing drug liking after opioid administration. Participants will receive different doses of the vaccine or placebo across two sites.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical vaccine reactions such as soreness at injection site, fatigue, headache, muscle pain. Since it's an experimental vaccine targeting opioids specifically, there might also be unique immune responses that need monitoring.
