MOMs Trial Summary

This trial is testing whether an extended-release form of buprenorphine is as effective as the standard form in treating pregnant women with opioid use disorder, with the goal of improving outcomes for mother and child.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for pregnant women aged 18-41 with opioid use disorder, carrying a single fetus between 6-30 weeks gestation. They must be in outpatient addiction treatment, understand English, and consent to the study. Exclusions include alcohol/sedative dependence needing detoxification, severe psychiatric conditions, certain medical issues like high liver enzymes or kidney dysfunction, incarceration or unstable circumstances.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two forms of buprenorphine: extended-release injection (BUP-XR) versus sublingual product (BUP-SL), assessing their impact on both mother and infant outcomes during pregnancy. The goal is to see if BUP-XR is at least as effective as BUP-SL without increasing illicit opioid use.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects from buprenorphine treatments can include nausea, vomiting, constipation, headache, sweating, sleep problems and potential withdrawal symptoms if stopped abruptly.

MOMs Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: BUP-XRExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Weekly subcutaneous Buprenorphine Injection (CAM2038) during pregnancy. During the 12-month postpartum phase, participants who are breastfeeding will continue receiving subcutaneous Buprenorphine Injection weekly; participants who are not breastfeeding will receive subcutaneous Buprenorphine Injection monthly. The target doses will be 24 mg for the weekly formulation and 96 mg for the monthly formulation, but the actual dose may be lower or higher as determined by the prescribing clinician (e.g., based on craving/withdrawal experienced by the participant, etc.).
Group II: BUP-SLActive Control1 Intervention
Daily sublingual buprenorphine, with or without naloxone, based on site preference, during pregnancy and during the 12-month postpartum phase. The target dose will be 16 mg daily, but the actual dose may be lower or higher as determined by the prescribing clinician (e.g., based on craving/withdrawal experienced by the participant, etc.).
