About this study

Official title: Olanzapine Augmentation of Buprenorphine-naloxone Treatment in OUD Patients With Comorbid Symptoms of Serious Mental Illness (SMI): A Prospective Open-label Single-arm 9-week Study

This study is designed to examine whether olanzapine (2.5 to 20mg/day) impacts opioid use in patients with opioid use disorder and comorbid SMI symptoms who are taking buprenorphine-naloxone. The specified outcomes (e.g., illicit opioid use, other drug use, sleep, MAT adherence, withdrawal and craving, thought and mood disorder symptoms) on olanzapine will be examined within-subjects for change (improvement) across the trial.

Approximately 48 subjects will be enrolled. After enrollment, subjects will complete safety and baseline assessments and will be assigned open-label to 9-weeks olanzapine. Olanzapine will then be tapered over a 1-week period (or maintained if clinically indicated). Urines will be collected 2x/week throughout.

The study has 4 distinct phases: 1) Screening (approx. 1-2 wks); 2) Baseline and Medication Initiation Visit (1 visit; includes safety, baseline and phenotyping measures, study medication dispensed) 3) Outpatient treatment (9 wks; 2 visits/wk, includes daily olanzapine and daily buprenorphine-naloxone (through the participants usual community treatment site and on-medication phenotyping measures); 4) Follow-up visit (1 wk after last dose of study medication).

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in illicit opioid use

    To examine whether adjunctive olanzapine (on top of buprenorphine-naloxone) changes illicit opioid use, indexed by Urine Drug Screens (UDS), in participants with OUD and symptoms of SMI.

    Measured: weeks 3-8

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Olanzapine in people with Opioid Use Disorder, run by University of Pennsylvania at 2 sites 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 4 inclusion and 5 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Feb 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Change in illicit opioid use (time frame: weeks 3-8). 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 1 Feb 2023.
