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. |

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: Effective medication-based treatment could prevent overdose deaths and help individuals recover from opioid use disorder, but only a fraction of those in need access treatment or receive a medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. One way to improve people’s choice to seek and stay in treatment is to improve training for addiction treatment counselors beyond current methods that rely on brief online or in-person workshops. The goal of this research project is to develop and evaluate the technical feasibility and commercial viability of a scalable digital program to train behavioral addiction professionals in Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT), an evidence-based approach to increase treatment entry, using ongoing counselor training with feedback and coaching. |

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: Most people with opioid use disorder are either not in treatment or receive inconsistent treatment. Peer support is proven to be effective at engaging patients who are unwilling or unable to seek traditional treatment, but commonly available group support models are often separate from other clinical care or are otherwise hard for patients to access. This research will test a novel, machine learning enabled, digital peer support program added to an anonymous text-based social network that can provide 24/7 support for patients at all stages of recovery. The project will examine the ability of this digital service to engage and retain patients with opioid use disorder and will also develop novel techniques to automatically analyze patient messages for clinical and social determinants of health-related needs. |

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. |

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: Relapse is common in people with opioid use disorder, and recovery attempts often fail within 6 months. This research project will test a novel virtual reality intervention to improve recovery outcomes for people recovering from opioid use disorder. By increasing future orientation and delay-of-reward behavior with a precision medicine personalized experience, the intervention is designed to enhance advantageous decision-making and increase positive future outcomes. The results of this study will provide critical data for creating a commercially viable software product for facilitating relapse prevention and improving opioid use disorder recovery outcomes. |

NOFO Title: Administrative Supplements to Support Collaborations to Improve the AI/ML-Readiness of NIH-Supported Data
NOFO Number: NOT-OD-22-067 Summary: This research is intended to create multidisciplinary team science collaborations to develop effective interventions, best models of care for delivery of services, and sustainable implementation strategies for access to quality care for complex patients with chronic pain and opioid use disorder or opioid misuse. To allow comparison and analysis of data created in nine unique clinical trials funded across four centers, common data elements (CDEs) were selected to assess all aspects of a patient’s condition and experience. The purpose of this project is to make the IMPOWR CDE data more FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) by building a tool that will automate the mapping/conversion of HEAL-related data to the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership data model that allows for systematic analysis of data from different databases. Upon completion, this tool would be shared with the HEAL research community as a new resource to enable broader harmonization and secondary data analysis. |

NOFO Number:
Summary: People who use opioids in rural areas suffer worse health and less insurance coverage. The opioid problem in rural areas is of particular concern, as rural areas have higher overdose rates despite equivalent rates of OUD. This is because rural areas have a scant number of clinics and clinicians who provide medication treatment for OUD. Thus, people living in rural areas must travel long distances to access clinics that may or may not have expertise in providing treatment to patients with OUD. Telemedicine (TM) could efficiently increase capacity for delivery of buprenorphine in rural areas and may increase the number of patients receiving medication treatment and improve treatment retention and outcomes. While the development of medication treatments for opioid use disorder (MOUD) capacity in primary care settings with optimal/comprehensive services is desirable, the current opioid crisis with escalating overdose death rates in rural areas suggests a need to implement an efficient, cost-effective system of MOUD services that can be scaled up quickly. The use of a centralized and Medicare-covered TM vendor utilizing a developed methodology and established organizational infrastructure offers the great potential for a rapid rollout to increase access to MOUD and improve treatment retention in rural areas. This cluster randomized clinical trial with two phases will test expanded treatment access to improve retention on MOUD in highly affected rural areas. Phase I will include implementing telemedicine in a limited number of rural sites with varying levels of office-based opioid treatment (OBOT) to inform implementation strategies for the main trial, and Phase II will include evaluate comparative effectiveness between OBOT alone and OBOT + TM at 30 sites. |

75N95019D00013-0-759501900097-1 | Subthreshold Opioid Use Disorder Prevention (STOP) Trial | New Strategies to Prevent and Treat Opioid Addiction | Prevention of Progression to Moderate or Severe Opioid Use Disorder | NIDA | Emmes Corportation | VanVeldhuisen, Paul | Rockville, MD | 2019 |
NOFO Number:
Summary: According to SAMHSA’s 2017 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), 11.4 million persons in the U.S. report past-year opioid misuse; out of them, only 2.1 million individuals met criteria for an OUD. Very little is known about efficacious interventions for those who do not meet criteria for moderate/severe OUD (i.e., subthreshold OUD). The prevalence of subthreshold OUD in primary care settings is 5 percent to 10 percent, with higher rates (21 percent to 29 percent) among those receiving prescribed opioids. Although they are at high risk of developing moderate/severe OUD and/or dying from an overdose, little or no empirical evidence exists for pragmatic prevention interventions that can be adopted at integrated general medical settings. To study the efficacy of prevention interventions to arrest the progression from risky opioid use, researchers will test the efficacy of a STOP intervention in primary care settings. STOP adopts an early intervention approach, based on a collaborative care model to prevent progression to moderate/severe OUD, and consists of a practice-embedded nurse care manager who provides patient education and supports the primary care provider (PCP) in engaging, monitoring and guiding patients who have risky opioid use; brief advice delivered to patients by their PCP; and phone counseling of patients by behavioral health providers to motivate and support behavior change. Researchers will determine whether STOP reduces risky opioid use and examine the impact of STOP on progression to moderate/severe OUD, overdose risk behavior and overdose events in adults with risky use of illicit or prescription opioids. |

75N95019D00013-0-759501900095-1 | Emergency Department-INitiated bupreNOrphine and VAlidaTIOn Network Trial (ED-INNOVATION) | Translation of Research to Practice for the Treatment of Opioid Addiction | Enhancing the National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network to Address Opioids | NIDA | Emmes Corporation | VanVeldhuisen, Paul | Rockville, MD | 2019 |
NOFO Number:
Summary: Emergency department (ED)-initiated buprenorphine/naloxone (BUP) with referral for ongoing BUP is superior to referral alone in engaging patients with untreated opioid use disorder (OUD) in treatment at 30 days and is cost-effective. However, logistical barriers exist in translating research into practice. New BUP formulations such as the extended-release injectable BUP (CAM2038, XR-BUP) hold promise in addressing many of the barriers more effectively than sublingual buprenorphine (SL-BUP) by treating the patients’ symptoms for up to seven days. This study will recruit, train and provide resources to 30 ED sites throughout the U.S. using implementation facilitation strategies to address stigma and provide ED-initiated BUP for patients presenting with OUD who are not receiving medications for OUD. Once implementation is adequately achieved, the sites will conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to compare the effectiveness of SL-BUP versus XR-BUP on ED patients’ engagement in formal addiction treatment seven days after their ED visit. In addition, in an ancillary component of the study, the use of XR-BUP will be assessed in ED patients with Clinical Opioid Withdrawal Scale (COWS) scores of |

NOFO Number:
Summary: Hospital inpatient stays due to opioid-related health problems are a reachable moment for increasing access to treatment with medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). Hospitalized patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) are at particularly high risk for morbidity, mortality, and high medical costs in the U.S. This study will substantially inform the care management of OUD in hospitalized patients. The project includes a comparative effectiveness research trial and an implementation research trial, which will lead to models of broad dissemination for treatment approaches to this largely unaddressed population. They will examine whether (1) in hospitals with addiction medicine consultation services, hospital-initiated extended-release buprenorphine (XR-BUP), compared with other OUD medications, results in increased engagement in treatment with MOUD following hospital discharge and (2) training hospitals without such consultation services on best practices for initiating MOUD using consultation service hubs improves medication uptake in hospitals and increased MOUD treatment engagement following discharge. |

NOFO Number:
Summary: Inpatient programs are important portals for increasing access to treatment. However, most individuals with opioid use disorder are detoxified but not offered medications to prevent relapse. This randomized-controlled trial will examine whether a rapid-transition protocol to inducting extended release naltrexone (XR-NTX) following detoxification yields a higher proportion of patients successfully receiving the first injection of XR-NTX compared with standard detoxification and naltrexone initiation. This study will also assess facilitators and barriers to implementing rapid XR-NTX initiation. The overall goal is to foster widespread adoption of a five- to seven-day protocol for initiation of treatment with XR-NTX at inpatient/residential programs. |

NOFO Number:
Summary: The U.S. is in the midst of a devastating opioid epidemic. Since 1999, the number of overdose (OD) deaths involving opioids has quadrupled. These trends are magnified among American Indians/Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) compared to other racial/ethnic groups. AI/ANs are second only to Whites in the rate of OD mortality (8/100,000 versus 12/100,000 deaths, respectively). Medications for opioid use disorder (OUD; i.e., methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone) are considered the most effective treatment, reducing mortality and increasing abstinence and retention. However, numerous barriers limit the uptake of medications for OUD in tribal communities and within urban treatment settings serving AI/AN individuals. This is a two-phase formative research study to develop and test an implementation intervention for programs to provide medications to treat OUD specifically with AI/AN consumers. The objective of Phase I (12 months) is to develop a culturally centered implementation intervention to integrate medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) into health care/addiction specialty settings. The objective of Phase II (24 months) is to conduct a preliminary test of the implementation intervention at four sites serving AI/AN communities. Community-based participatory research (CBPR) methods will be used throughout both phases. This study will help with decreasing stigma and increase the utilization of MOUD in health care settings that serve AI/AN populations. |

NOFO Number:
Summary: There is a significant treatment gap between patients diagnosed with OUD and those who seek treatment, and only a small proportion of those seeking treatment receive MOUD. Primary care is the most common point of health care contact in the U.S. and is an important venue to address stigma, improve access to treatment and improve quality of care. Over the past decade, electronic health record (EHR)-linked Web-based point-of-care clinical decision support (CDS) systems designed to improve quality of chronic disease care have become increasingly sophisticated and successful. A Web-based and EHR-integrated OUD CDS system to offer expert guidance to primary care providers (PCPs) on the diagnosis and management of OUD was developed and piloted. This project will implement the OUD clinical decision support system in three large diverse health care systems and randomize a minimum of 30 clinics to receive the OUD-CDS intervention or usual care (UC). The project will evaluate the impact of OUD CDS on practice process measures and patient outcomes. The study will also prepare for scalability and dissemination by evaluating facilitators and barriers to implementation, determining the costs of implementation and maintenance and assessing the short-term cost impacts of the OUD-CDS. |

NOFO Number:
Summary: For many reasons, the emergency department (ED) is a critical venue to initiate opioid use disorder (OUD) interventions. ED patients have a disproportionately high prevalence of substance use disorders and are at an elevated risk of overdose, and many do not access health care elsewhere. Despite this, OUD interventions are rarely initiated in EDs. The Emergency Department Connection to Care with Buprenorphine for Opioid Use Disorder study (CTN-0079) will assess the feasibility, acceptability and impact of introducing clinical protocols for screening for OUD, buprenorphine treatment initiation, and referral for ongoing treatment in ED settings with high need, limited resources and different staffing structures. This extension study will use the existing infrastructure to evaluate the adoption and sustainability of the clinical protocols introduced at each of the study sites and to identify factors influencing their diffusion and effectiveness. |

NOFO Title: Data Coordinating Center for the NICHD Neonatal Research Network (U24)
NOFO Number: RFA-HD-18-010 Summary: The ACT NOW Eat, Sleep, Console (ESC) Clinical Trial approach to the management of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS) emphasizes parental involvement, simplifies the assessment of infants with NOWS and focuses interventions on non-pharmacologic therapies. Although outcomes following implementation of the ESC care approach, inclusive of the ESC Care Tool, appear promising and initial accounts suggest that it is safe, there has yet to be a rigorous randomized clinical trial to demonstrate the safety, efficacy and generalizability of its use in the care of infants with NOWS. The ESC Clinical Trial leverages the infrastructure and collaborations of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Neonatal Research Network and the IDeA States Pediatric Clinical Trials Network to reach the populations most affected by the opioid epidemic. The trial will provide answers to numerous critical gaps in our knowledge with respect to the best practices for the identification and management of infants with NOWS, as well as our understanding of the outcomes of these infants. |
