Conditions: Opioid-use Disorder Chronic Pain Syndrome
Keywords: delay discounting pain catastrophizing impulsivity
Allocation: RANDOMIZED | Intervention model: PARALLEL
Enrollment: 10
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
The epidemic of opioid overdose deaths continues to rise, killing more persons in 2017 than HIV/AIDS at the height of that epidemic. Medication assisted treatment, including methadone and buprenorphine, is the standard of care for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD). However, chronic pain can reduce treatment efficacy during medication assisted treatment and is associated with illicit substance relapse, dropout, and subsequent overdose. Mechanisms by which chronic pain may influence the impulsive decision making (e.g., drug relapse) in persons with OUD have not been well characterized. A better understanding is needed of decision-making in this population. Two factors that can influence decisions to use drugs are impulsivity and acute opioid withdrawal. This proposal will test how chronic pain is associated with increases in impulsive decision making in OUD, whether impulsive decision making is greater when undergoing opioid withdrawal, and how catastrophizing may modify the association between withdrawal and impulsive decision making in patients with chronic pain and OUD. An ideal population for this developmental research project are methadone maintained patients, who show high treatment attendance rates and will therefore assure study efficiency and reliable completion.

Detailed description:
This is an outpatient Phase 1 clinical trial investigating the effect of naloxone precipitated withdrawal on delay discounting. Eligible participants will undergo two experimental sessions presented in random order. One session will involve the measurement of delay discounting 30 minutes after double-blind intramuscular (IM) administration of placebo (normal saline) and the other will have the exact same procedures performed after double-blind IM administration of naloxone (0.1 mg). Injections will occur 2 hours after methadone dosing (peak levels). Study sessions will last 2 hours and involve pain and opioid withdrawal measures assessed at baseline and 15 minute intervals after injections. The participant should be back to baseline and free of withdrawal by the end of the study session. Sessions will occur at least 48 hours apart.

Arms:
arm 1: Patients with chronic pain who are maintained on methadone for opioid use disorder arm 2: Patients who are maintained on methadone for opioid use disorder but who do not have chronic pain.

Interventions: intervention 1: Naloxone Hydrochloride intervention 2: Placebo
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: An intramuscular (IM) injection of naloxone will be given. intervention 2: An IM injection of 0.9% normal saline will be given.

hours. Study sessions will occur in Building 90, Ward 95 and Building 5, Unit 5B on the campus 
of ZSFG.
For your safety and the safety of others, you will be screened for recent positive tests, exposures, 
symptoms of COVID-19 and will be asked to wear a mask for the duration of all study visits.
Possible Risks: There are risks to taking part in a research study. Some of the most likely risks 
of participation in this study include: 

Opioid withdrawal symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or loose stools, body 
aches, dysphoric mood, worsening anxiety symptoms, including tunnel vision or panic 
attacks, and gooseflesh

Boredom or fatigue from answering questions
There are also rare but serious risks of participation, like: 

Relapse to opioid or other substance use

Infection at the site of injection
We’ll tell you about the other risks later in this consent form.
Possible Benefits: There will be no direct benefit to you from participating in this study.
Your Other Options: You do not have to participate in this study. Your other choices may 
include:

Not joining the study
Please talk to your doctor about your choices before agreeing to participate in this study.
Following is a more complete description of this study. Please read this description carefully. 
You can ask any questions you want to help you decide whether to join the study. If you join this 
study, we will give you a signed copy of this form to keep for future reference.
DETAILED STUDY INFORMATION
This part of the consent form gives you more detailed information about what the study involves.
Research studies include only people who choose to take part.  Please take your time to make 
your decision about participating.  You may discuss your decision with your family and friends 
and with your health care team.  If you have any questions, you may ask your study doctor.
You are being asked to take part in this study because you have opioid use disorder and are on a 
stable dose of methadone for the past 21 days.
Why is this study being done?
The purpose of this study is to learn about how stressors like chronic pain or opioid withdrawal 
may influence decision making ability in patients on methadone for OUD. We will be using a

series of questions that ask you to choose between a reward now and a larger reward at a time in 
the future. You will not earn these rewards, but we ask that you consider each question as if you 
could receive the reward. This series of questions is known as delay discounting. This study is a 
first step. If successful, delay discounting may be developed as a clinical tool to help guide 
treatment of patients with OUD.
The National Institute on Drug Abuse, part of the National Institutes of Health is funding this 
study. 
Naloxone, an FDA approved medication for the reversal of opioid overdose, is being used in this 
study to precipitate mild symptoms of opioid withdrawal. 
How many people will take part in this study?
About 130 people will take part in this study. We will recruit roughly equal numbers of people 
with and without chronic pain to take part.
What will happen if I take part in this research study?
Before you begin the main part of the study:
You will need to have the following exams, tests or procedures to find out if you can be in the 
main part of the study. All of those exams can be completed in one day or separated out to two 
days depending on a number of factors.
Additionally, you will be screened for COVID-19 symptoms by phone (or telehealth) prior to 
and at the time of arrival for a screening visit. You will be asked about recent positive tests, 
exposures, and symptoms not explained by a pre-existing condition. If the answer to any of these 
screening questions is yes, the visit will be postponed and you will be referred to the medical 
team for further evaluation.
Study-related activities will take place via Zoom/iPads as much as possible. All study staff and 
participants will wear personal protective equipment (PPE) as necessary for the duration the 
visit.

During the main part of the study:
If the exams, tests and procedures show that you can be in the main part of the study, and you 
choose to take part, then you will need the following tests and procedures. The same tasks will 
be done in the same order in each session and the sessions will need to be at least 48 hours apart.
You will again be screened for COVID-19 symptoms by phone (or telehealth) as described 
above prior to and at the time of arrival for session visits. The same precautionary measures for 
COVID-19 as described above will be taken during session visits.

Collect urine for urine drug screen and pregnancy test (if female). The results of the urine 
drug screen must be positive for methadone and negative for illicit substances. Otherwise, 
the session will be rescheduled. A positive pregnancy test will result in withdrawal or the 
participant from the study and referral to appropriate resources.

Must be without signs of intoxication as evidenced by ability to receive full dose of 
methadone prior to research activities.

Contact your opioid treatment program to verify you have not yet taken your methadone 
dose on the day of your session. Your dose on session one must be the same dose on 
session two.

Administer your current methadone dose at OTOP / Ward 93.

If you are a smoker, you will be asked to smoke 1 cigarette 20 minutes prior to session 
and then refrain from smoking until the session is complete.

Collect baseline responses on
o
Current pain level
o
Current symptoms of withdrawal
o
Vital signs
o
Take a picture of your eye

Administer one injection in your upper arm muscles approximately 2 hours after your 
methadone dose. You and the study team will not know what you are given. One of the 
doses will be a placebo, an inactive substance, and one of the doses will contain 0.1 mg 
of naloxone. The order of the injections will be randomized, like flipping a coin.

Every 15 minutes after the injection up to 2 hours the study team will collect responses 
on 
o Current pain level
o Current symptoms of withdrawal (if any)
o Vital signs
o Take a picture of your eye

Collect responses on the delay discounting task approximately 30 minutes after study 
medication is administered.
In addition, you will be asked to answer questions about the following:
o
Impulsivity
o
Sleep problems (insomnia)
o
Anxiety, somatization and depressive symptoms 
o
Pain catastrophizing

You will be asked to complete two sessions that will last about 4 hours each in addition to a 
screening visit. The sessions must be at least 48 hours apart. On average, you will be spend 11 
hours in study related activities spread out over 2-4 weeks.
Can I stop being in the study?
Yes. You can decide to stop at any time. Tell the study doctor if you are thinking about stopping 
or decide to stop. He will tell you how to stop your participation safely. 
It is important to tell the study doctor if you are thinking about stopping so any risks from 
naloxone or placebo can be evaluated by your doctor. Another reason to tell your doctor that you 
are thinking about stopping is to discuss what follow-up care and testing could be most helpful 
for you.
The study doctor may stop you from taking part in this study at any time if he/she believes it is in 
your best interest, if you do not follow the study rules, or if the study is stopped.
What side effects or risks can I expect from being in the study?
You may have side effects while on the study. Everyone taking part in the study will be watched 
carefully for any side effects. However, doctors don't know all the side effects that may happen.  
Side effects may be mild or very serious. Your health care team may give you medicines to help 
lessen side effects. 
You should talk to your study doctor about any side effects you experience while taking part in 
the study.


Relapse to substance use. If this does occur, we would communicate this to your opioid 
treatment program.

Infection at site of injection
Reproductive risks:  You should not become pregnant or father a baby while on this study 
because the drugs in this study can affect an unborn baby.  Women should not breastfeed a baby 
while on this study.  It is important to understand that you need to use birth control while on this 
study.  Check with your study doctor about what kind of birth control methods to use and how 
long to use them. 
Unknown Risks: The experimental treatments may have side effects that no one knows about 
yet.  The researchers will let you know if they learn anything that might make you change your 
mind about participating in the study.
For more information about risks and side effects, ask your study doctor.
Are there benefits to taking part in the study?
There will be no direct benefit to you from participating in this study.  However, this study will 
help doctors learn more about how stressors may affect delay discounting, and it is hoped that 
this information will help in the treatment of future patients with OUD.
What other choices do I have if I do not take part in this study?
You do not have to join this study. Your care at OTOP and ZSFG will not be affected if you 
choose not to enter this study. Please talk to your doctor about your choices before deciding if 
you will take part in this study.
How will my information be used? 
Researchers will use your information to conduct this study. Once the study is done using your 
information, we may share them with other researchers so they can use them for other studies in 
the future. We will not share your name or any other personal information that would let the 
researchers know who you are. We will not ask you for additional permission to share this de-
identified information.
How will information about me be kept confidential?
Participation in research involves some loss of privacy.  We will do our best to make sure that 
information about you is kept confidential, but we cannot guarantee total privacy.  Some 
information from your medical records will be collected and used for this study.  Information 
gathered directly from you by the researchers will be part of your research records but will not be 
added to your medical record.  Your personal information may be given out if required by law.  
If information from this study is published or presented at scientific meetings, your name and 
other personal information will not be used.

What is a Certificate of Confidentiality?
This research is covered by a Certificate of Confidentiality from the National Institutes of 
Health. This means that the researchers cannot release or use information, documents, or 
samples that may identify you in any action or suit unless you say it is okay. They also cannot 
provide them as evidence unless you have agreed.  This protection includes federal, state, or 
local civil, criminal, administrative, legislative, or other proceedings. An example would be a 
court subpoena.
 
There are some important things that you need to know.  The Certificate DOES NOT stop 
reporting that federal, state or local laws require. Some examples are laws that require reporting 
of child or elder abuse, some communicable diseases, and threats to harm yourself or others.
Researchers may release information about you when you say it is okay. For example, you may 
give them permission to release information to insurers, medical providers or any other persons 
not connected with the research.  The Certificate of Confidentiality does not stop you from 
willingly releasing information about your involvement in this research. It also does not prevent 
you from having access to your own information.
Are there any costs to me for taking part in this study?
No.
Will I be paid for taking part in this study?
In return for your time, effort and travel expenses, you will be paid up to $300 for participation 
in study related activities. You can earn $50 for study screening, $75 after completion of each 
study session, and an additional $100 bonus for completion of both sessions.
If you pass study screening and complete at least one study session, you will then also be eligible 
to refer participants to the study. If participants that you have referred also pass study screening 
and complete at least one study session, you will receive a referral bonus of $50. The referred 
participant must also mention your name during their study screening for you to receive this 
referral bonus.
What happens if I am injured because I took part in this study?
It is important that you tell your study doctor, Dr. D. Andrew Tompkins, if you feel that you 
have been injured because of taking part in this study. You can tell the doctor in person or call 
him at 628-206-3645.
