About this study

The overall aim of this R34 proposal is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and short-term outcomes associated with an innovative service delivery model to increase adherence to extended-release naltrexone (XR-NTX) during the transition from jail to the community for rural individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD). The significance of this study is grounded in the public health emergency associated with the opioid epidemic in rural Appalachia, the increased vulnerability of rural individuals with OUD, and the dearth of available and accessible evidence-based treatment in the region. This study has potential to make a significant contribution to the OUD treatment field by advancing knowledge on innovative service delivery models to increase access to evidence-based treatment to reduce the prevalence of opioid use disorders and related health disparities among hard-to-reach, high-risk, underserved populations.

The overall aim of this R34 proposal is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and short-term outcomes associated with an innovative service delivery model to increase adherence to extended-release naltrexone (XR-NTX) during the transition from jail to the community for rural individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD). The significance of this study is grounded in the public health emergency associated with the opioid epidemic in rural Appalachia, the increased vulnerability of rural individuals with OUD, and the dearth of available and accessible evidence-based treatment in the region. This R34 has potential to make a significant contribution to the OUD treatment field by advancing knowledge on innovative service delivery models to increase access to evidence-based treatment to reduce high-risk opioid use and related health disparities among hard-to-reach, high-risk, underserved populations. The study will be accomplished through two specific aims: (1) Adapt XR-NTX services for use in community supervision (P\&P) offices to increase adherence during re-entry from jail for rural individuals with OUD. (2) A small scale pilot will be conducted to examine feasibility, acceptability, and short-term outcomes of the adapted protocol on XR-NTX adherence and relapse to opioid use. Rural justice-involved individuals on community supervision with OUD will be invited to initiate XR-NTX and continue injections for up to three months in the community. If this study establishes feasibility of this innovative community-based treatment model for XR-NTX in a rural, underserved area, findings will be used to develop an R01 application to test the approach in a larger RCT during community re-entry from jail among high-risk rural individuals with OUD in Appalachia. The long-term goal of this research is to increase access to evidence-based treatment for OUD among high-risk, underserved populations.

What is being measured

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

  1. Study Enrollment

    Study enrollment is defined as the number of participants who initiate XR-NTX.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants With Opioid Relapse

    The short-term outcome of interest includes any relapse to opioid use (any use of opioids by self-report and urine drug screen; continuous measure of number of days of use).

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing XR-NTX community location in people with Opioid Dependence, run by Michele Staton 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 6 inclusion and 6 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 27 Mar 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Mar 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Study Enrollment (time frame: 3 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 27 Mar 2023.
