Neuronal Anatomy, Connectivity, and Phenotypic Innervation of the Knee Joint | Preclinical and Translational Research in Pain Management | Restoring Joint Health and Function to Reduce Pain (RE-JOIN) | NIAMS | BAYLOR COLLEGE OF MEDICINE | LEE, BRENDAN (contact); ARENKIEL, BENJAMIN R; RAY, RUSSELL S; WYTHE, JOSHUA D | Houston, TX | 2022 |
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Restoring Joint Health and Function to Reduce Pain Consortium (RE-JOIN) (UC2 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: RFA-AR-22-009 Summary: Pain caused by degenerative joint diseases such as osteoarthritis (OA) is a major public health challenge that significantly affects quality of life for millions of Americans. There are no therapies available that offer pain relief and reverse the course of OA. This project will use state-of-the-art technologies to create a neuronal connectivity and molecular map of the mouse knee joint, which will help identify molecular signatures that can be targeted for therapy. The research will include animals of different ages and of both sexes and test joint effects after exercise, in animals with OA, and after gene therapy that delivers an experimental OA medication directly to the joint. |

DRUG INJECTION SURVEILLANCE AND CARE ENHANCEMENT FOR RURAL NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND (DISCERNNE) | New Strategies to Prevent and Treat Opioid Addiction | NIDA | Baystate Medical Center | FRIEDMANN, PETER D | SPRINGFIELD, MA | 2018 | |
NOFO Title: Administrative Supplements to Existing NIH Grants and Cooperative Agreements (Parent Admin Supp Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: PA-18-591 Summary: This study will examine the epidemiology of injection drug use, its infectious consequences, and service accessibility among young persons who inject drugs (PWID) in 15 rural counties in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont, then implement an integrated telemedicine approach to treat opioid use disorder (OUD) and reduce infections and overdose. The UG3 phase will characterize the risk environment and epidemiology of OUD, its infectious complications, opioid overdose, risk behaviors, service use, and needs in young PWID in these counties. An environmental assessment of policy and infrastructure will examine available services, needs, and gaps. The UH3 phase will evaluate the effectiveness of a regionalized integrated model of expanded service delivery for rural PWID. This project will provide in-depth understanding of high-risk rural PWID, inform community response strategies, and implement a comprehensive, integrated approach to treat OUD and reduce overdose and infectious complications among PWID in the rural United States. |

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 major driver of the U.S. opioid crisis is limited access to effective medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) that reduce the risk of overdose. Traditionally, jails and prisons in the U.S. do not initiate or maintain MOUD for inmates with OUD prior to their return to the community, which places them at high risk for fatal overdose. The Massachusetts Justice Community Opioid Innovation Network (JCOIN) will study the outcomes and implementation of a 2018 state law that seven county jails must provide all approved forms of medication for OUD. The Chapter 208 initiative has important implications for future policy and practice in the justice and OUD treatment systems at the local, state, and national levels. |

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: With the entwined crises of opioid use and chronic pain, there is a need for alternative, safe therapies to manage opioid use disorder, opioid withdrawal symptoms, chronic pain, and/or associated anxiety and depression. A proof-of-concept preclinical study has already been conducted of a cannabinoid-opioid combination that demonstrated opioid-sparing and synergistic analgesic effects, with the combination providing greater analgesia in a rodent model of chronic pain than a standard dose of the opioid alone. This proposal aims to develop a fixed-dose combination (FDC) of the cannabinoid-opioid that may have improved analgesia with lower opioid doses and thereby lower the risk of dependence, withdrawal, diversion, abuse, and overdose. Preclinical pharmacokinetic and ?in vivo ?safety studies will help determine if co-administration alters the pharmacokinetics and/or respiratory depression related to either compound in rodents. |
