Leptin Receptor Agonist as a Novel Prevention of Opioid Induced Respiratory Depression Cross-Cutting Research Small Business Programs NIDA Arrevus, Inc. KRAUS, CARL NEIL (contact); POLOTSKY, VSEVOLOD Y Raleigh, NC 2022
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: America’s Startups and Small Businesses Build Technologies to Stop the Opioid Crisis (R43/R44 - Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-19-020
Summary:

The primary cause of death associated with opioids is opioid-induced respiratory depression, and there is currently no way to prevent this condition. The goal of this research is to develop a therapy to prevent opioid-induced respiratory depression without disrupting opioids’ analgesic effects. Previous research has shown that the hormone leptin, which suppresses appetite and increases metabolic rate, also stimulates breathing. This research project in a mouse model will test if the novel, brain-penetrant leptin receptor-binding protein E1/Aca can prevent fentanyl-induced breathing failure without diminishing fentanyl’s analgesic effects.

G Alpha Z Subunit as a Potential Therapeutic Target to Modulate Mu Opioid Receptor Pharmacology Preclinical and Translational Research in Pain Management Discovery and Validation of Novel Targets for Safe and Effective Treatment of Pain NIDA UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER BIDLACK, JEAN M Rochester, NY 2022
NOFO Title: Emergency Awards: HEAL Initiative-Early-Stage Discovery of New Pain and Opioid Use Disorder Targets Within the Understudied Druggable Proteome (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: TR22-011
Summary:

Opioids affect the body by attaching to certain types of receptors that attach to G-proteins (particularly, a subtype called G-alpha). Opioids vary in their ability to provide pain relief as well as in their ability to require more drug to provide a response, known as tolerance. This project will explore the potential of various G-alpha subunits to increase or decrease opioid receptor signaling. The research findings will lay the groundwork for tailoring G-alpha related opioid effects to provide more pain relief while being less addictive.

Long-term Opioid Therapy, Depression, and Suicide Mortality Risk in Patients with Head and Neck Cancer Cross-Cutting Research Leveraging Existing and Real-Time Opioid and Pain Management Data NIDCR DUKE UNIVERSITY OSAZUWA-PETERS, NOSAYABA Durham, NC 2022
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Secondary Analysis and Integration of Existing Data Related to Acute and Chronic Pain Development or Management in Humans (R21 Clinical Trials Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: RFA-DE-22-011
Summary:

It is unclear if long-term use of opioids by head and neck cancer patients affects risk for depression, which is higher in this population compared to people without cancer. This knowledge could inform interventions such as increased opioid prescription safety or alternative pain management approaches and could thus help reduce the risk for depression-related outcomes. This project will use data from a national cancer database linked to Medicare claims and a Veterans Administration database to determine whether people with head and neck cancer that take opioid medications for more than 90 days have increased risk for new-onset or worsening depression or suicide death.

Treating Polysubstance Use in Methadone Maintenance: Application of Novel Digital Technology Translation of Research to Practice for the Treatment of Opioid Addiction Improving Delivery of Healthcare Services for Polysubstance Use NIDA FRIENDS RESEARCH INSTITUTE, INC. MITCHELL, SHANNON GWIN Baltimore, MD 2022
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Understanding Polysubstance Use and Improving Service Delivery to Address Polysubstance Use (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: DA22-047
Summary:

Although methadone is an effective treatment for opioid use disorder, many individuals drop out of treatment, putting them at risk of relapse and overdose. One of the factors associated with poor retention in methadone treatment is concurrent cocaine use. There is currently no effective medical treatment for cocaine use disorder. However, contingency management, in which individuals receive tangible rewards for desired behaviors such as abstinence, has been shown to be effective for cocaine use. This project will test the value of a digital therapy app, DynamiCare Health Contingency Management, in methadone treatment programs to promote treatment for polysubstance use.

Reducing Opioid Use and Adverse Effects through Proactive Precision Pain Management Following Spine Surgery Cross-Cutting Research Small Business Programs NIDA Opalgenix, Inc. PLUMP, STEVEN R (contact); SADHASIVAM, SENTHILKUMAR Carmel, IN 2022
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: America’s Startups and Small Businesses Build Technologies to Stop the Opioid Crisis (R43/R44 - Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-19-019
Summary:

Lumbar spinal surgery, an increasingly common surgery in adults with severe chronic back pain, is associated with acute post-surgical pain, costly postoperative opioid-related adverse effects, long hospital stays, high-risk for chronic post-surgical back pain, and persistent opioid use and dependence. Each individual responds differently to opioids based on their unique genetic and clinical factors, and the current trial-and-error approach to opioid use and prescribing promotes excessive opioid use, costly adverse outcomes, and poor surgical pain management. To address this issue, this research project will develop a preoperative diagnostic test that will use genetic and clinical information to proactively assess each person’s risk for opioid-related adverse events and chronic post-operative pain. The results will help clinicians provide personalized pain management to maximize pain relief while minimizing opioid-related safety risks, including opioid dependence.

Discovery of Novel Openers of the Understudied Human Drug Target Kir6.1 Preclinical and Translational Research in Pain Management Discovery and Validation of Novel Targets for Safe and Effective Treatment of Pain NCATS NEW YORK UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE CARDOZO, TIMOTHY J New York, NY 2022
NOFO Title: Emergency Awards: HEAL Initiative-Early-Stage Discovery of New Pain and Opioid Use Disorder Targets Within the Understudied Druggable Proteome (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: TR22-011
Summary:

Routine treatment of pain with prescription opioid medications may evolve into opioid use disorder, addiction, and potentially overdose. New, non-opioid molecular targets for pain are needed as a key element of responding to the opioid and overdose crisis. Ion channels are molecular gateways that convert electrical signals into physiological responses, and many have been implicated in transmitting pain signals. The ion channel Kir6.1/KCNJ8 has been linked to the control of postoperative and cancer pain. Studies in animal models show that low levels of this ion channel are evident after an injury. This research will identify compounds that can open the Kir6.1/KCNJ8 channel as potential treatment strategy for pain.
