NOFO Number: PA-18-574 Summary: There is an unmet need for an effective parenteral/oral analgesic for acute post- operative pain management without the risks of opioid addiction. Salsalate, a dimer or salicylic acid, is currently available in oral dosage for the treatment of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Salsalate works at multiple levels to target multiple steps along the surgical pain pathway. Salsalate through its active metabolite, salicylic acid (SA), reduces NF-?B activation via IKK-kinase beta inhibition, and has no direct binding to cyclooxygenase 1 (Cox-1); therefore, does not affect function of platelets, resulting in a safer hematological and gastrointestinal safety profile. RH Nano proposes a plan for manufacturing and pre- clinical testing of parenteral M-salsalate in two animal models to assess the efficacy and safety in the treatment of acute postoperative pain management. In this proposal, the team will develop the optimal formulation under strict Chemistry Manufacturing and Control guidelines. In Phase II, the team proposes to conduct the pharmacokinetics and toxicology studies of M-salsalate in two species of animals (rodent and non-rodent). Additionally, the project will use an animal pain model for preclinical efficacy studies, and an in vivo Receptor Occupancy assay in animal brain tissues to assess the opioid sparing properties of M-salsalate. |

Data Coordinating Center (DCC) for the Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome Pharmacological Treatments Comparative Effectiveness Trial (NOWS PhaCET) | Enhanced Outcomes for Infants and Children Exposed to Opioids | Advancing Clinical Trials in Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal (ACT NOW) | NICHD | RESEARCH TRIANGLE INSTITUTE (NC) | DAS, ABHIK | Research Triangle Park, NC | 2021 |
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Data Coordinating Center for the Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome Pharmacological Treatments Comparative Effectiveness Trial (U24 Clinical Trial Required)
NOFO Number: RFA-HD-21-032 Summary: Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS) is a condition that occurs when newborns are exposed to opioids during pregnancy. Symptoms often include tremors, excessive crying, sleep deprivation, and swallowing difficulties. Cases are rising, with a newborn affected by NOWS approximately every 15 minutes. Currently, healthcare providers in the United States lack standard, evidence-based treatments for NOWS. This project is part of a multi-center, randomized controlled clinical trial that directly compares NOWS treatments—morphine, methadone, and buprenorphine—and takes into account other types of non-drug therapies, such as behavioral interventions. The goal is to generate results that can inform clinical practice guidelines and give newborns with NOWS the best start possible. This site will serve as the Data Coordinating Center for the clinical trial to provide high-quality and impartial biostatistical expertise for all the study sites. |

NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Non-addictive Analgesic Therapeutics Development [Small Molecules and Biologics] to Treat Pain (UG3/UH3 Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: RFA-NS-21-010 Summary: Neuropathic pain is a debilitating and complex medical condition for which safe and non-addictive treatment options are urgently needed. Preliminary studies have found that lysophosphatidic acid receptor 5 (LPA5) is present in areas of the body that signal pain, including at high levels in rodent models of neuropathic pain. This project will use genetic and pharmacological approaches to determine whether blocking LPA5 signaling reduces neuropathic pain toward future testing in humans. |
