SUSTAINED-RELEASE METHYLPHENIDATE FOR MANAGEMENT OF METHAMPHETAMINE USE DISORDERS

Walter Nmn Ling, Professor/chief, Substance Abuse Program
University Of California Los Angeles, Office Of Research Administration, Los Angeles, Ca 90095

Grant 5R01DA025084-02 from National Institute On Drug Abuse

Abstract: This four-year study will evaluate the efficacy of treatment with methylphenidate compared to placebo in the context of behavioral therapy for methamphetamine use disorders (abuse or dependence) in a population of 90 adults seeking treatment at the UCLA ISAP Outpatient Clinical Research Center. The project will employ an experimental design involving ramping from two dosage levels of methylphenidate (MPH; 18mg/day for one week, and 36mg/day for one week) to the hypothesized active dosage (54mg/week for 8 weeks). After satisfying all inclusion/exclusion requirements, participants will be enrolled into the study for an initial two weeks for reinforcement of clinic attendance and collection of urine samples--during the first two-week screening period, only attendance is incentivized, with no contingency on results of thrice-weekly urine tests. The motivational incentives component continues throughout the study, with fixed compensation for attendance during the medication phase, in conjunction with escalating opportunities of increased reward for two or more consecutive drug-free urine samples (post run-in). Equal numbers of subjects will be assigned to either placebo or medication to maintain a balanced design, resulting in 45 subjects per condition. Aims of the study are Aim 1. To evaluate the ability of sustained-release MPH (54mg once daily for 8 weeks) to reduce stimulant abuse and increase retention in the protocol among a sample of adults seeking treatment for MA use disorders. Aim 2. To examine the clinical utility of sustained-release MPH as a pharmacotherapy for methamphetamine use disorders. Aim 3. To assess functioning of participants in terms of psychiatric, cognitive, social, and physical domains. There is a critical need for systematic evaluation of strategies for treating methamphetamine use disorders. Thus, this project addresses NIDA´s goal of developing an effective pharmacotherapy for stimulant use disorders, which constitute a considerable public health problem with severe consequences to social service systems, the criminal justice system, and to millions of individuals and families. The proposed research is of considerable public health significance in that it will provide foundational information on a potential medication-based treatment for methamphetamine dependence, a serious drug problem with extensive impacts. If proven effective, the protocol could be useful in reducing drug-related consequences such as criminal activity, social disruption, and elevated risk of HIV transmission/infection due to increased frequency of unsafe sexual activities while on methamphetamine. A combination of treatment approaches may be most effective, and the proposed project will assess the utility of MPH in combination with proven behavioral therapy

OPTIMIZING OUTCOMES USING SUBOXONE FOR OPIATE DEPENDENCE

Walter Nmn Ling, Professor/chief, Substance Abuse Program
University Of California Los Angeles, Office Of Research Administration, Los Angeles, Ca 90095

Grant 5R01DA020210-05 from National Institute On Drug Abuse

Abstract: The approval of buprenorphine (combined with naloxone as Suboxone(r)) by the FDA enables physicians in the United States to provide pharmacotherapy to opioid-dependent patients in private medical settings. Buprenorphine´s wide acceptance and implementation by physicians has been slower than expected, however, and this may be due in part to the nature and necessity of providing comprehensive treatment for opioid-dependent patients. Lessons learned from methadone maintenance make it clear that simply providing opioid substitution does not address the behavioral components of dependence. While there is no lack of behavioral treatment facilities for substance abuse in the United States, what is lacking is an integrative approach to the treatment of opioid dependence using pharmacotherapy in conjunction with empirically based behavioral treatment strategies. This project will evaluate the added therapeutic effects of three specific behavioral strategies, delivered in the context of a basic medical management (med mgmt) platform approaching what physicians do, in general, when prescribing buprenorphine. Two-hundred forty (240) participants will be randomly assigned after a two week stabilization to one of four groups (1) cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT/med mgmt; n=60) emphasizing relapse prevention, (2) contingency management (CM/med mgmt; n=60) providing incentives for successive opioid-free urine tests, (3) a combined group containing both CBT and CM (CBT+CM/med mgmt; n=60), and (4) med mgmt only (neither CBT nor CM; n=60). Experimental behavioral therapies will be delivered for 16 weeks (to study week 18) in conjunction with Suboxone(r) pharmacotherapy. An additional 16 weeks of treatment using Suboxone(r) (to study week 34) will ensue during which no experimental behavioral therapies are provided. All participants enter a buprenorphine taper and return at study week 52 for long-term follow-up evaluations. Outcomes for the trial include illicit drug use (urine drug samples collected three times per week during the first 18 weeks), drug craving, retention (days in the protocol), psychiatric status (depression, mood), HIV-risk behaviors, and treatment feasibility ratings. Results will be used to recommend strategies to optimize buprenorphine treatment outcomes and promote integration of pharmacotherapy and psychosocial/behavioral treatment strategies for physicians and for behavioral treatment facilities treating opioid-dependent patients

THE NATIONAL DRUG ABUSE TREATMENT CLINICAL TRIALS NETWORK

Walter Nmn Ling
University Of California Los Angeles, Office Of Research Administration, Los Angeles, Ca 90095

Grant 2U10DA013045-11 from National Institute On Drug Abuse

Abstract: Responding to RFA-DA-10-009, this application seeks renewal of the Pacific Region Node of the National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network (CTN) to continue improving the quality and delivery of addiction treatments that can be implemented efficiently by community-based treatment providers (CTPs). The ongoing and future research, training, and dissemination activities of the Pacific Region Node, led by Walter Ling, M.D., will serve the CTN mission "to improve the quality of drug abuse treatment throughout the country, using science as a vehicle." The Node will continue to contribute significantly to the CTN effort by its leadership and participation in innovative concept development, rigorous conduct of research, efficient management, and effective dissemination of CTN products. In the most recent funding period, for example, Node participants developed two protocols and currently lead protocol development of CTN0048, Cocaine Use Reduction with Buprenorphine (CURB). Node personnel will continue to develop and disseminate training materials and manuals for use across the CTN, to plan and host CTN-oriented conferences, and disseminate CTN-based findings through trainings, presentations, publications, and Internet-based methods. The Node´s activities will advance the science and increase broad implementation of research-proven treatments in a collaborative manner with other nodes, CTN CTPs, and other providers and researchers worldwide. This renewal proposes adding two CTPs to the existing five, increasing geographic presence and racial/ethnic inclusion as well as ensuring access to every possible setting, modality, special population, and drug abuse problem. The Pacific Region Node intends to accelerate development and testing of new medications and behavioral therapies that can be integrated to achieve better outcomes. Innovation, research pacing, and relevance will be enhanced by increasing interaction with provider groups and with researchers examining potential therapies, exploiting the Node´s existing partnerships while building new collaborations and involving more broad-based settings. Renewal of the Pacific Region Node will strengthen CTN efforts through collaborative work with NIDA, CTN participants, and other stakeholders. To promote use of research-proven addiction treatments, the Pacific Region Node will continue its work to incorporate more broad-based settings for CTN research, resulting in greater inclusion of and service to populations that are not comprehensively served by traditional CTPs. The Node will continue collaboration with the overall CTN to identify and address addiction challenges, public health needs, and research issues

Grant 3U10DA013045-10S4 from National Institute On Drug Abuse

Abstract: In response to RFA-DA-05-001, this application requests continuation of the Pacific Region Node of the "National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network" (CTN). The research, training, and dissemination activities of the Pacific Region Node will continue to serve the CTN objective "to improve the quality of drug abuse treatment throughout the country, using science as a vehicle." The first five years of the CTN have demonstrated the Pacific Region Node´s ability to significantly contribute to the overall CTN effort in terms of research productivity, innovative concept development, rigorous conduct of research, efficient management and administration, and effective dissemination of results. For example, Node participants developed and implemented the first three CTN protocols, developed training materials, procedures, and manuals adopted for use across the CTN, initiated and hosted several CTN-oriented conferences, and extensively disseminated CTN-based findings through trainings, presentations, publication, and Internet-based methods. The Node´s activities will continue to advance the science and increase practical application of research-proven treatments in a collaborative manner with other nodes, with the CTN community treatment providers (CTPs), and with other providers and researchers around the country. This renewal proposes adding three more CTPs to the existing five, increasing representation to account for greater diversity in setting, modality, special population, and drug abuse problem. The Pacific Region Node intends to accelerate identification, development, and testing of new medications and behavioral therapies by increasing interaction with other research efforts involving promising therapies. In addition to participation in the CTN, the Pacific Region Node benefits from association with cutting-edge research on medications for drug abuse emerging from the Node´s UCLA environment; for example, UCLA´s P50-funded Medication Development Unit for Stimulant Abuse (Shoptaw), the UCLA-led Methamphetamine Clinical Trials Group (Rawson), the UCLA Clinical Trials Operations Unit (Ling, Rawson and Shoptaw, Phase I and II trials), and other investigations of promising medications and behavioral therapies for treating drug abusers (Ling, Rawson, Shoptaw, Roll, Newton, Longshore) all provide information useful in developing and testing potential CTN protocols
