8/24 The Healthy Brain and Child Development National Consortium Enhanced Outcomes for Infants and Children Exposed to Opioids HEALthy Brain and Child Development Study (HBCD) NIDA NEW YORK UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE THOMASON, MORIAH E (contact); BERRY, OBIANUJU ; SHUFFREY, LAUREN CHRISTINE New York, NY 2021
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: HEALthy Brain and Child Development Study (Collaborative U01- Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-21-020
Summary:

The HEALthy Brain and Child Development National Consortium (HBCD-NC) will establish a normative model of developmental trajectories over the first 10 years of life. All sites in the HBCD-NC will carry out a common research protocol and will assemble and distribute a comprehensive research dataset to the scientific community. The HBCD-NC will collect neural, behavioral, physiological, and psychological measures, as well as biospecimens, to characterize neurodevelopmental trajectories. Most participants will be recruited in the second trimester of pregnancy, with a smaller subset recruited at birth, and followed for the first decade of life. This study will take place at New York University School of Medicine, allowing researchers to recruit participants from two of the largest private and public health systems in the country and include racial and ethnic minorities of varying economic levels.

The Northwestern University study site is in Chicago where rates of prenatal substance use are rising and consistent with the national trend. This site will recruit a diverse urban sample of mother-infant pairs reflecting the population of Chicago.

A 24-week Week Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of CNTX-6970 in Subjects with Moderate to Severe Knee Osteoarthritis Pain. Clinical Research in Pain Management Early Phase Pain Investigation Clinical Network (EPPIC-Net) NINDS Massachussetts General Hospital FAVA, MAURIZIO Boston, MA 2021
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: EPPIC-Net Pain Research Asset Application (OT2)
NOFO Number: OTA-20-008
Summary:

This award funds EPPIC-NET’s first phase 2 clinical trial, testing the novel oral drug CNTX-6970 in patients with moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis pain. It will include 150 participants at EPPIC-Net sites across the United States. Preclinical studies of CNTX-6970, which binds effectively and dose-proportionally to C-C chemokine type 2 (CCR2) receptors, have demonstrated potent analgesia in multiple pain models, with no emergent safety issues. CNTX-6970 has effects both at an affected joint, as well as on neural signaling. Participants will be randomized to receive CNTX-6970, placebo, or a third pain medication and will be followed for 24 weeks.

A comparative effectiveness trial of extended release naltrexone versus extended-release buprenorphine with individuals leaving jail Translation of Research to Practice for the Treatment of Opioid Addiction Justice Community Opioid Innovation Network (JCOIN) NIDA FRIENDS RESEARCH INSTITUTE, INC. GORDON, MICHAEL SCOTT (contact); MITCHELL, SHANNON GWIN Baltimore, MD 2019
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Justice Community Opioid Innovation Network (JCOIN) Clinical Research Centers (UG1 Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-19-025
Summary:

A large number of individuals under criminal justice supervision with opioid use disorders (OUDs) have limited access to pharmacotherapy treatment, an intervention found to reduce substance use, HIV-risk behavior, and criminal activity. This randomized clinical trial will assess the effectiveness of an extended-release buprenorphine (XR-B) formulation compared to extended-release naltrexone (XR-NTX) in county jail inmates prior to release. Understanding how to expand acceptance of medications for OUD, particularly long-acting medications, in jails has far-reaching implications for treatment expansion in this population.

A digital intervention to prevent the initiation of opioid misuse in adolescents in school-based health centers New Strategies to Prevent and Treat Opioid Addiction Preventing Opioid Use Disorder NIDA Yale University Fiellin, Lynn E. New Haven, CT 2019
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Preventing Opioid Use Disorder in Older Adolescents and Young Adults (ages 16–30) (UG3/UH3 Clinical Trial Required
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-19-035
Summary:

Most opioid misuse begins during adolescence and young adulthood. Adolescence is the best time for prevention interventions in settings like school-based health centers (HCs), yet few programs focus on preventing initiation of opioid misuse. This study harnesses the power of video game interventions and incorporates components of effective substance use prevention programs to develop an evidence-informed intervention to prevent the initiation of opioid misuse in adolescents. In partnership with the national School-Based Health Alliance (SBHA), researchers will develop and test a new video game intervention, PlaySmart. It will build on our previous video game intervention that has demonstrated efficacy in improving attitudes and knowledge related to risk behaviors. The study will evaluate the game in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in 10 school-based HCs and examine strategies for implementing PlaySmart in school-based HCs nationally. This research has considerable potential for wide implementation, reach, and impact on high-risk adolescents through school-based HCs.
