About this study

Official title: On-Site Addiction Treatment With Buprenorphine in HIV Clinical Care Settings

The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of providing two levels of psychosocial support along with buprenorphine/naloxone (BUP) maintenance to opioid dependent patients receiving their care in an HIV clinical care setting.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of providing two levels of psychosocial support along with buprenorphine/naloxone (BUP) maintenance to opioid dependent patients receiving their care in an HIV clinical care setting. The proposed study will compare Physician Management (PM), a manual-guided brief intervention that approximates the usual counseling provided by primary care practitioners to patients with chronic medical conditions vs. an enhanced strategy of PM with the addition of a combined drug counseling and adherence management strategy (PM+DC/AM). DC is designed to educate the patient about the recovery process and provide additional advice about lifestyle changes including HIV transmission risk reduction and 12-step participation. Adherence Management (AM) is a counseling strategy focusing on HIV medication adherence, adapted from Sorensen et al1. This research will build on pilot work that is being completed in order to further develop and refine these counseling interventions, determine what other psychosocial interventions might be required, and to evaluate this model of integrated care in terms of its effects on opioid agonist therapy retention, decreasing illicit drug use, and increasing adherence to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Finally, it will provide data that will aid in the formulation of guidelines and the creation of practical manuals for optimizing the provision of this novel therapy to individuals with HIV disease and opioid dependence, as well as provide data for future funded randomized clinical trials.

From September 2005 (start date) to December 1, 2007, the study was conducted as part of a multi-site project that was overseen by the New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM), which is in charge of data analysis. Following December 1, 2007, the study will continue as a local, single-site project without further collaboration from NYAM.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Physician Management and Counseling in people with Substance-related Disorders and Drug Addiction, run by Yale University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Apr 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Treatment retention (time frame: 52 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Apr 2020.
