About this study

In the setting of naloxone standing orders, this study will assess if direct outreach with a web-based "Naloxone Navigator 1.0" to patients prescribed chronic opioid therapy (COT) changes opioid risk behaviors, increases naloxone uptake, and increases knowledge about overdose and naloxone

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized study of a web-based naloxone educational resource (Naloxone Navigator 1.0) for adults prescribed chronic opioid therapy. This study will be conducted under new naloxone standing order legislation passed in Colorado. The Naloxone Navigator 1.0 will provide online training on how to recognize an opioid overdose and respond using naloxone. There will be two arms: one will receive a link to the Naloxone Navigator 1.0 and the other will receive usual care (no link). Outcomes will include opioid risk behavior, overdose and naloxone knowledge, naloxone dispensings, and overdose rates.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Naloxone Navigator 1.0Behavioural

    Also called Naloxone Navigator (NN)

    Patients on chronic opioid therapy will be outreached via email, mail and phone. Within 1 month of enrollment into the trial, intervention participants will receive a link to the web-based resource to view. This is designed to provide overdose education, increase opioid risk awareness, and encourage patients to obtain naloxone.

Study groups in NCT03241771
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Naloxone Navigator 1.0ExperimentalParticipants randomized to the Naloxone Navigator 1.0 arm will receive a link to the web-based resource. They will also receive usual care from their health plan, pharmacy and physicians. As part of usual care, participants will have access to naloxone through standing orders (i.e., they can request it without a prescription under their usual pharmacy benefit).
Receives: Behavioral: Naloxone Navigator 1.0
Usual CareNo interventionParticipants in the usual care arm will receive usual care from their health plan, pharmacy and physicians. As part of usual care, participants will have access to naloxone through standing orders (i.e., they can request it without a prescription under their usual pharmacy benefit).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Risk Behavior

    Risk behavior will be assessed using the Opioid-Related Behaviors in Treatment (ORBIT) scale. The ORBIT is a brief scale used to identify recent risk behavior among patients receiving chronic opioid therapy.

    Measured: 4 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Patient Knowledge

    Patient knowledge of overdose and naloxone will be measured using survey items adapted from the Opioid Overdose Knowledge Scale (OOKS). The OOKS is a scale measuring knowledge of overdose risks, warning signs, steps to address the overdose and appropriate use of naloxone.

    Measured: Within 1 month of study enrollment

  2. Naloxone Dispensings

    Electronic health records and pharmacy databases will be used to identify naloxone dispensings in the outpatient setting.

    Measured: 4 months

  3. Opioid dose

    We will calculate changes in the milligrams morphine equivalent dose

    Measured: 4 months

  4. Drug Use Risk Behavior

    Drug Use Risk Behavior will be assessed using the validated National Institutes on Drug Abuse-Modified (ASSIST) scale.

    Measured: 4 months

  5. Alcohol Use Risk Behavior

    Alcohol Use Risk Behavior will be assessed using the validated Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test--Consumption (AUDIT-C Lite) scale. AUDIT-C Lite is a brief screener used to identify patients with alcohol use disorders or hazardous drinking behavior

    Measured: 4 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Naloxone Navigator 1.0 in people with Opioid Abuse and Overdose, run by Kaiser Permanente 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 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Aug 2023. 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.

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?

Risk Behavior (time frame: 4 months). 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 24 Aug 2023.
