Effects of experimental sleep disruption and fragmentation on cerebral Mu-opioid receptor function, Mu-opioid receptor agonist analgesia, and abuse liability. | New Strategies to Prevent and Treat Opioid Addiction | Sleep Dysfunction as a Core Feature of Opioid Use Disorder and Recovery | NHLBI | Johns Hopkins University | Smith, Michael T | Baltimore, MD | 2019 |
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Sleep and Circadian-Dependent Mechanisms Contributing to Opiate Use Disorder (OUD) and Response to Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) (U01 Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: RFA-HL-19-029 Summary: Chronic pain and opioid use disorders (OUD) are burgeoning interrelated epidemics. Sleep disturbances are prevalent, treatable, and increasingly recognized as risk factors for both chronic pain and OUD. Sleep disruption impairs endogenous pain inhibition, linked to analgesic efficacy and rewarding properties of mu-opioid receptor (MOR) agonists. It is not known, however, whether sleep disturbance causally alters mechanisms that contribute to OUD risk. Sleep continuity disruption (SCD) and/or sleep fragmentation (SF) may alter cerebral MOR availability, and these forms of sleep disruption may increase OUD risk. This study aims to 1) evaluate whether experimental SCD and/or SF alter resting or pain-evoked MOR binding potential (BP) in brain regions associated with pain inhibition; 2) examine whether SCD and/or SF alters the analgesic response; and 3) determine whether MOR BP in brain regions of interest are associated with analgesia and abuse liability. |

AOD Use Trajectories from Age 10 to 24: Multi-level Predictors, Health and Behavioral Functioning, and Racial/ethnic Disparitie | New Strategies to Prevent and Treat Opioid Addiction | Preventing Opioid Use Disorder | NIAAA | RAND Corporation | D'Amico, Elizabeth J. | Santa Monica, CA | 2019 |
NOFO Title: Administrative Supplements to Existing NIH Grants and Cooperative Agreements (Parent Admin Supp Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: PA-18-591 Summary: There is a great deal of research aimed at better understanding transitions in alcohol and other drug (AOD) use patterns from early to late adolescence and from late adolescence to emerging adulthood. However, no studies to date have (a) assessments of AOD use from ages 10 to 24 across all developmental periods (middle school, high school, and emerging adulthood); (b) a large sample with substantial racial and ethnic diversity, particularly among Hispanic and Asian youth; (c) in-depth coverage of 10 areas of functioning across three key domains; (d) subjective and objective neighborhood data; or (e) the capacity to examine developmental trajectories for more than one substance. The current proposal is a continuation of previous projects that assessed AOD use across nine waves of data from age 10 to age 19. The proposed study capitalizes on the longitudinal data on protective and risk factors we have collected since age 10 in an ethnically diverse cohort by continuing to annually assess these youth in order to capture important transitions to emerging adulthood (through age 24). By advancing the epidemiology of alcohol use during adolescence and emerging adulthood, our findings can affect prevention and intervention programming for young people and address critical issues of public health policy. |

NOFO Number: RFA-MH-19-525 Summary: This study will refine and test a collaborative care model for patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) and major depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, or an anxiety disorder in primary care. The primary aims of the study are: (1) prototype and test elements of the research team’s collaborative care models; (2) conduct a randomized study of three collaborative care conditions to determine which is most effective in improving outcomes for people with OUD and mental health conditions: Augmented Usual Care, Collaborative Care, or Collaborative Care + Social Worker; (3) measure clinician and organizational-level factors associated with implementation to increase success; (4) conduct a cost evaluation of each collaborative care model; and (5) work with smaller and rural practices to develop and test effective strategies to manage OUD. Successful completion of this study will provide evidence regarding the elements of integrated collaborative care required to maximize outcomes for individuals with OUD and psychiatric disorders. |

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 | University of California, San Francisco | SORENSEN, JAMES L | San Francisco, CA | 2019 |
NOFO Title: The National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network (UG1)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-15-008 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. |

Does Treating Young Persons Psychopathology Prevent the Onset of Opioid and other Substance Use Disorders? | New Strategies to Prevent and Treat Opioid Addiction | Preventing Opioid Use Disorder | NIDA | Massachussetts General Hospital | WILENS, TIMOTHY E (contact); YULE, AMY | Boston, MA | 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: Despite psychopathology robustly increasing the risk for later substance use disorders (SUD), remarkably few studies have examined the impact of treating psychopathology on reducing rates of opioid use disorder (OUD), nicotine, and SUD. The main aims of this study are to implement a pragmatic set of office-based instrumentation using patient related outcome measures linked to electronic health records (EPIC) for intake and follow-up assessments to evaluate psychopathology, OUD, nicotine use disorder, and other SUDs in young people aged 16-30 years old who are receiving psychopathology treatment as part of routine outpatient clinical care. The study will also examine similar age patients with non-opioid SUD in outpatient SUD treatment settings to examine the impact of treatment in mitigating the development of OUD. Data derived from this study will help inform clinical guidelines and public health policy and provide important secondary outcomes for further work on the prevention of OUD, nicotine use disorder, and other SUDs in relation to early-onset psychopathology. |

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: Data from 2015 show that American Indians/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) have the highest rates of diagnosis for opioid use disorder (OUD) and death from drug overdose. Of particular concern is the prevalence in emerging adults (ages 18-25), as this is a developmental period of heightened vulnerability and critical social, neurological, and psychological development. This study will develop and implement a culturally centered intervention to address opioid misuse among urban AI/AN emerging adults in California: POMANAYA (Preventing Opioid Misuse Among Native American Young Adults). POMANAYA will developed by adapting and enhancing our existing culturally sensitive prevention intervention program that uses motivational interviewing in AI/AN youth to address social network factors in emerging adults that amplify (or reduce) opioid and other drug use risk. Results from this study could significantly advance scientific knowledge and clinical practice for AI/AN emerging adults. |

Evaluating the Role of the Orexin System in Circadian Rhythms of Sleep and Stress in Persons on Medication-Assisted Treatments for Opioid Use Disorder | New Strategies to Prevent and Treat Opioid Addiction | Sleep Dysfunction as a Core Feature of Opioid Use Disorder and Recovery | NHLBI | Johns Hopkins University | HUHN, ANDREW S (contact); FINAN, PATRICK | Baltimore, MD | 2019 |
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Sleep and Circadian-Dependent Mechanisms Contributing to Opiate Use Disorder (OUD) and Response to Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) (U01 Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: RFA-HL-19-029 Summary: For individuals with moderate to severe opioid use disorder (OUD), medication-assisted treatments (MATs) such as oral methadone and extended-release naltrexone (XR-NTX) are the gold standard in initiating and maintaining long-term recovery. Still, many patients struggle with persistent sleep disturbance and stress reactivity in the early stages of recovery, which drive relapse behaviors. This proposal constitutes a novel mechanistic approach to understanding the role of the orexin system in sleep disturbance and circadian rhythms of stress in OUD patients who are maintained on MATs and are early in recovery. This study will determine whether the FDA-approved sleep medication suvorexant (SUVO) improves sleep continuity and decreases diurnal measures of stress, and whether improvement of sleep/stress processes translates to improved OUD treatment outcomes. Its findings will fill critical gaps in our understanding of the role of the orexin system in sleep disturbance and circadian rhythms of stress that impact OUD recovery. |

NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Sleep and Circadian-Dependent Mechanisms Contributing to Opiate Use Disorder (OUD) and Response to Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) (U01 Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: RFA-HL-19-029 Summary: Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a chronic and relapsing brain disease that affects over 2 million Americans. Despite effective evidence-based treatments in the form of behavioral interventions and FDA-approved medication for addiction treatment (MAT), relapse rates are high. The Collaboration Linking Opioid Use Disorder and Sleep Study will investigate patients on MAT to elucidate potential causal mechanisms between sleep deficiency and OUD. The aims of this study are to 1) test whether there are different neurocognitive connectivity patterns between patients with adequate vs. deficient sleep in brain systems involved in addiction and assess the extent to which these “neural fingerprints” predict ongoing opioid use; 2) evaluate the potential biologic, psychiatric, and pharmacologic mechanisms that explain the causal pathway between sleep deficiency and opioid use; and 3) test ecologic factors such as psychosocial, family, and neighborhood contextual factors associated with OUD and their contribution to sleep deficiency among patients in MAT. |

NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Effectiveness Trials to Optimize, Implement, Scale, and Sustain the Collaborative Care Model for Individuals with Opioid Use Disorders and Mental Health Conditions (U01 Clinical Trial Required)
NOFO Number: RFA-MH-19-525 Summary: Some medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) can be provided in primary care (PC). Systems of team-based PC show promise for improving access and retention in OUD treatment. One such model, collaborative care (CC), includes a care manager, supervised by experts, who help provide evidence-based high-quality OUD care. While CC improves outcomes of depression, other mental health and substance use (MH/SU) disorders and pain, it is unknown how to optimally integrate CC for OUD with other MH/SU disorders. This pragmatic trial tests whether our model of CC for OUD and comorbid conditions increases engagement in MOUD treatment and improves depression symptoms in PC patients with OUD and depression. Innovative pragmatic elements include inclusion of all eligible patients in participating PC clinics, random recruitment and consent, and measurement of main outcomes using only secondary data. These pragmatic elements avoid studying only motivated patients and avoid activating patients randomized to usual care. |

NOFO Title: Administrative Supplements to Existing NIH Grants and Cooperative Agreements (Parent Admin Supp Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: PA-18-591 Summary: The Family School Partnership (FSP) and classroom-centered (CC) interventions targeted aggressive-coercive behavior and poor academic achievement as antecedents of the distal outcomes of antisocial behavior, substance abuse/dependence, psychiatric symptoms/disorders, high-risk sexual behavior and successful adaptation to the relevant developmental demands of the educational, work, romantic relationships and family (both family of procreation and origin/orientation) social fields/contexts. The participants of the FSP and CC original prevention trial were a population (n = 798) of urban, predominately African-American young adults, who began first grade in the fall of 1993 in nine elementary schools in predominantly low- to lower-middle-income Baltimore areas. The central purpose of the proposed study is to extend through ages 31-35 an examination of normal and pathogenic development and the impact of these two universal first-grade preventive interventions on the distal targets mentioned above. We will continue to study the role of phenotypic and genetic factors (and their interactions) as well as the impact of the interventions on the development and course of substance use/abuse/dependence, psychiatric symptoms/disorders, antisocial behavior/disorder and high-risk sexual behavior through young adulthood. The knowledge accrued over the course of the proposed assessments should serve to inform the nature, targets and timing of our future preventive intervention efforts. |

NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Sleep and Circadian-Dependent Mechanisms Contributing to Opiate Use Disorder (OUD) and Response to Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) (R01 - Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: RFA-HL-19-028 Summary: Repetitive drug use forms powerful memories associating drug-evoked experiences with its proximal environmental cues. Memories are major obstacles for successfully treating addiction, since even after a prolonged period of abstinence, reexposure to such cues often triggers craving that promotes relapse. A polysynaptic pathway from the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT) to the lateral hypothalamus (LH) has been shown to play a role in the maintenance of the opioid-associated memories. Hypocretin (Hcrt) neurons in the LH strongly innervate the PVT, required for maintaining wakefulness and involved in drug seeking. These factors may link sleep disorders in opioid addicts with their long-lasting drug-associated memories. This study will (1) determine whether Hcrt neurons in the LH are the major target; (2) examine whether manipulating the LH (Hcrt)-PVT pathway can effectively prevent relapse; and (3) test whether sleep intervention could be an effective strategy to prevent relapse. |

NOFO Title: Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (Parent K01)
NOFO Number: PA-16-190 Summary: Quality implementation of evidence-based programs (EBPs) in community settings for youth is critical for reducing the burden of alcohol, tobacco and other drug (ATOD) use and its consequences. EBPs delivered in schools are an efficient way to reach large populations of young people, including those underserved by other settings, and reduce and prevent ATOD use. Yet youth rarely receive EBPs as intended in community settings, including schools. This training and research plan will prepare the investigator to become an independent scholar in the implementation of theories and frameworks to better understand factors related to program delivery—approaches to enhancing ATOD programs for youth in community settings. More specifically, the training will allow him to expand the application of Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to inform approaches to enhancing effective EBP delivery. The proposed training and research plan extends current implementation research to focus applying implementation theories, frameworks and strategies in other community settings (schools) and on economic evaluation of implementation strategies. The results are expected to improve current efforts to deliver EBPs in diverse community settings and aid in applying evidence-based implementation strategies in the school context to ultimately reduce and prevent ATOD use among youth. |

NOFO Number: PA-18-591 Summary: Four out of five youth in the juvenile justice (JJ) system show evidence of being under the influence during their offenses, and more than half test positive for substances at the time of their arrest. Preventive intervention approaches that can be easily implemented within JJ settings may offer greater access to substance use care as well as increase families’ motivation to comply with court referrals to seek further services. It is especially important to evaluate interventions for court-involved, non-incarcerated (CINI) juveniles, as these youth account for two-thirds of those arrested; however, the bulk of extant research has been conducted with detained or incarcerated youth. In this application for supplemental funding, we capitalize on our parent grant (Brief Individual and Parent Interventions for Marijuana Misuse in Truant Adolescents) by proposing to develop an adjunctive, targeted preventive intervention for marijuana-using, JJ youth who are at elevated risk for illicit opioid use. The goal will be to develop a protocol for a single-session, parent-adolescent preventive intervention to decrease the likelihood of illicit opioid use in CINI adolescents. This formative work will culminate in a draft intervention manual. |

NOFO Number: RFA-HL-19-028 Summary: Profound sleep disturbances during abstinence have long been suspected of perpetuating vulnerability to relapse of people who misuse or are addicted to opioids. An animal model has shown that long-term sleep deficiency results in a persistent state of physiological dysregulation that is expected to modify the biology of abstinence and increase relapse potential. This study seeks to discover how persistent sleep restriction during withdrawal from opioid use increases vulnerability to relapse in the animal model by testing whether persistent sleep restriction during abstinence from opioid use is sufficient to increase opioid drug seeking. The functional outcome measure will be the degree of mitigation of opioid seeking. These studies will provide a basis for novel translational approaches to target mechanisms that are demonstrated to cause increased vulnerability to relapse. |

NOFO Title: NIDA Research Center of Excellence Grant Program (P50)
NOFO Number: PAR-16-009 Summary: The U.S. is in the midst of an opioid crisis, and efforts to tackle the complex and dynamic nature of this public health challenge must comprehensively consider a multitude of contributing factors. In response, states have implemented a wide range of policies and initiatives. However, the dynamic nature of the crisis and the speed with which different policy approaches are being implemented pose numerous challenges for researchers evaluating the effects of such efforts. These challenges stem in part from limited information regarding policy implementation; insufficient information about policy characteristics that may influence effectiveness; little consideration of how the chosen analytic method may influence findings, given simultaneous or concurrent implementation of multiple policies; and limited training on how to best communicate findings to policymakers. To address these challenges, the proposed Center for Opioid Policy Research (COPR) will serve as a national resource, fostering innovative and high-quality research in the opioid policy arena and developing and disseminating methods, tools and information to the research community, policymakers and the public. |

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: Adolescents and young adults in justice settings (AYAJS) have some of the highest rates of opioid use disorder (OUD), with national rates approaching 20%. Multiple studies have established effectiveness of the Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach with Assertive Continuing Care (ACRA/ACC) in reducing non-opioid substance use disorder (SUD); however, none have evaluated it as an OUD prevention strategy. SUD is common and costly among AYAJS; thus, ACRA/ACC-based approaches are likely to be effective and cost-beneficial OUD prevention strategies for this group. However, the optimal intensity of an ACRA/ACC-based OUD prevention intervention for AYAJS with and without non-opioid SUD is not known, as these groups are likely to have differing prevention needs. Seattle Children’s Hospital (SCH), University of Washington (UW), and Washington State Juvenile Rehabilitation (WSJR) will collaboratively evaluate ACRA/ACC-based OUD prevention strategies of different intensity levels among SUD and non-SUD youth. |
