This study will be a Phase 1, single-center, open-label, randomized cross-over study to evaluate the PK of a new AP003 device which delivers two sprays of 4 mg naloxone hydrochloride intranasally.
NCT06527079
The 2022 Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) clinical practice guideline for prescribing opioids for pain recommends that when tapering a patient's opioid dose, doses should be decreased at a slow rate to reduce the risk of withdrawal symptoms, overdose, and to promote tolerance of the tapering. This project will evaluate a clinical decision support (CDS) tool in the form of a clinical care pathway that gives providers information, recommendations, and educational material on strategies for opioid tapering. Primary care providers will be randomized at the clinic location to a control arm or intervention arm. The control arm will have the clinical care pathway available, but will not be reminded of the pathway when tapering a patient. The intervention arm will receive a nudge when prescribing a tapering opioid strategy to a patient to use the clinical care pathway. The rate of opioid tapering in line with CDC guidelines will be examined as well as long-term patient outcomes of opioid overdose or poisoning using existing patient health records. The study period will be approximately 18 months.
NCT04372238
This study will test the efficacy of a novel drug-checking intervention to prevent fatal and non-fatal overdose among people who use drugs (PWUD), who are 18-65 years old at the time of enrollment. The investigators will evaluate whether the incorporation of rapid fentanyl testing into a theory-driven overdose education and prevention intervention reduces rates of overdose compared to standard overdose education and naloxone distribution. Results from this study will significantly improve public health efforts to address the fentanyl overdose epidemic and reduce harms associated with exposure to drugs contaminated with fentanyl. This is a full clinical trial, building on the previously approved fentanyl-test-strip pilot study (2016-2017), the results of which have recently been published.(Krieger et al., 2018)
NCT05114460
The goal of the proposed, proof-of-concept study is to test the combined effects of vaporized marijuana \[Delta-9-tetrahydracannabinol (THC)\] with NLX as a proof of concept towards the possible development of a combined overdose reversal agent with improved tolerability.
NCT05876572
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of intradermal administration of naloxone in healthy adult subjects.
NCT05096429
The objectives of this project are to leverage surveillance data to predict future overdose outbreaks, and to evaluate the impact of a randomized, statewide, community-level intervention trial to target overdose prevention programs to neighborhoods at highest risk of future overdose deaths. This study develops and tests an opioid overdose forecasting tool, which will allow other states to identify and deploy interventions to communities at highest risk of opioid-related death. The findings from this study have the potential to significantly improve the allocation of resources to curb the opioid overdose epidemic in the United States.
NCT06005402
This is a Phase 1a, randomized, double-blind, single ascending dose study, designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and PK of a single CSX-1004 injection, administered by IV infusion across a range of doses in healthy adult subjects. The study will have 3 phases: Screening, Inpatient Treatment, and Outpatient Follow-up. The primary objective of the study is to determine the safety and tolerability of CSX-1004 Injection administered by intravenous (IV) infusion across a range of doses in healthy adult subjects. The secondary objective of the study is to determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of CSX-1004 Injection administered by IV infusion across a range of doses in healthy adult subjects.
NCT05219669
This study is to compare the pharmacokinetics (how the body absorbs, breaks down and eliminates drug from your body) of nalmefene when given as a single dose intranasally (IN;into the nose), as a single dose in each nostril and as two doses in one nostrils; and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of nalmefene IN.
NCT04740099
Among people at risk of opioid overdose and receiving care in an academic emergency department, family practice, opioid substitution clinic or general inpatient units, does brief opioid overdose resuscitation training and naloxone distribution reduce resuscitation failures in a simulated overdose even, in comparison with standard-of-care referral to a local OEND program, within 14 days post-intervention? Can an integrated participant recruitment and retention strategy recruit approximately 28 eligible participants within 4 weeks and maintain less than 50% attrition rates in the context of a randomized trial on point-of-care OEND and simulated overdose resuscitation performance in family practice, emergency department, and addictions settings?
NCT02535494
This investigation is one of the first large-scale, prospective attempts to obtain data on the effectiveness of naloxone distribution among opioid-abusing populations at high risk of unintentional opioid poisoning. Specifically, opioid abusers will be recruited from drug detoxification sites as well as those accessing services at needle exchange programs. All participants (N=700) will receive the standard opioid overdose education and naloxone. One third of the participants will be randomized to receive additional in-depth psychosocial education focusing on recognition and prevention of opioid overdose, and appropriate use of naloxone. Another third of the participants will receive the extensive training and be required to engage a spouse, partner, relative, or friend in this supplementary intervention. The investigators plan to randomize individuals to each group \[Treatment as Usual (TAU) vs. Extensively Trained (ET) vs. Extensively Trained with a Significant Other (ETwSO)\] and, through continued follow up over one year, the investigators will compare self-reported overdose reversal attempts (with and without naloxone use), naloxone-related adverse events, and changes in patterns of heroin and other drug use.
NCT05093309
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of the Empowering Community Pharmacists program on pharmacists' knowledge, perceived barriers, attitudes, confidence, and intentions regarding naloxone services implementation, as well as change in number of naloxone prescriptions dispensed. Methods: A 3-month pragmatic randomized controlled trial was conducted in 2018-2019. Alabama community pharmacists were recruited by email, phone, fax, and mailed postcards and randomized to intervention (monthly resources/reminders + educational webinar) or control (monthly resources/reminders + delayed educational webinar). Outcome measures were assessed via online surveys at baseline (T1), immediately post-intervention (T2), and 3-months post-intervention (T3), including: naloxone knowledge (percent correct); perceived barriers, attitudes, and confidence regarding naloxone services implementation (7-point Likert-type scale, 1=strongly disagree to 7=strongly agree); and number of naloxone prescriptions dispensed. Mean differences between control and intervention groups from T1-T3 were assessed using two-way mixed ANOVA and adjusted analyses were conducted using generalized estimating equations (GEE) with negative binomial distribution (alpha=0.05).
NCT03968237
This is a pilot study that aims to develop good clinical practices to improve outcomes after an opioid overdose and transition of care from the Emergency Department (ED) into an Office Based Opioid Treatment (OBOT) clinic for patients with opioid overdose/Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). We intend to involve UVA Emergency Medicine and Medical Toxicology physicians with buprenorphine waiver or an interest in becoming waived at our institution to implement early initiation of buprenorphine protocol. We hope that this change in practice will result in better management of patients with OUD and opioid overdose, reduce relapse and improve engagement in addiction treatment. Subjects who meet criteria will be consented in the ED and receive a buprenorphine/naloxone induction protocol, prior to discharge and referral to the OBOT clinic. Subjects who consent to take part in this study will be entered in a database to track their involvement in treatment (s) at UVA and or any opioid related UVA health visits including OPIOID OVERDOSE.
