A randomized, double-blind evaluation of buprenorphine taper duration in primary
prescription opioid abusers. [2013]
IMPORTANCE: Although abuse of prescription opioids (POs) is a significant public
health problem, few experimental studies have investigated the treatment needs of
this growing population. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate, following brief stabilization with a combination of
buprenorphine hydrochloride and naloxone hydrochloride dihydrate, the relative
efficacy of 1-, 2-, and 4-week buprenorphine tapering regimens and subsequent
naltrexone hydrochloride therapy in PO-dependent outpatients...

Clinical Trials Related to Buprenex (Buprenorphine)
Buprenorphine for the Treatment of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome [Completed]
Neonatal abstinence syndrome is a disease that affects children who were exposed to opioid
drugs prior to birth. Commonly used treatments at present include morphine or tincture of
opium. Buprenorphine is a drug used in adults to treat narcotic dependence, but has not
been used for Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome. This trial is designed to see if the use of
sublingual (under the tongue) buprenorphine is able to be used safely and easily in newborns
with the neonatal abstinence syndrome. Secondary goals will be to see if treatment with
buprenorphine is associated shorter stays in the hospital and fewer days of treatment than
the use of standard therapy. Another secondary goal will be to understand buprenorphine
concentration in the blood of babies treated with the drug (this is called
"pharmacokinetics").
Preference for Subutex� (Buprenorphine) Versus Suboxone� (Buprenorphine/Naloxone) in Opioid Dependent Patients on Subutex� (Study P05094)(COMPLETED) [Completed]
This study is designed to determine if opioid dependent subjects who are already receiving
Subutex® prefer the Suboxone® tablet over the Subutex® tablet after switching from Subutex®
to Suboxone®. Subjects who are selected to participate in this study will continue their
prescribed dose of Subutex® (buprenorphine 2 to 16 mg daily) for the first two days of the
study (Day 1 and Day 2) then switch to and receive an equivalent dose of Suboxone®
(buprenorphine 2 to 16 mg daily) for the last 3 days of the study (Day 3, Day 4 and Day 5).
The Day 5 Visit will be the subject's last study visit. Upon completing the study, subjects
will continue their pre-study prescribed dosage of Subutex®.
A Six-Month Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) of Probuphine Safety and Efficacy in Opioid Addiction [Completed]
Probuphine (buprenorphine implant) is an implant placed just below the skin containing
buprenorphine (BPN). BPN is an approved treatment for opioid dependence. This study will
confirm the efficacy of Probuphine vs. placebo and compare Probuphine treatment verses
treatment with sublingual buprenorphine in the treatment of patients with opioid dependence.
Disposition Effects of Cyclosporin on Buprenorphine [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to see how healthy volunteers bodies handle buprenorphine.
Buprenorphine Treatment for Opioid Dependence [Recruiting]
This is a randomized, open-label clinical trial with 200 Veteran opioid dependent men and
women. Veterans will be randomized to one of two treatment groups: low dose range of
buprenorphine (<8mg) vs. high dose range of buprenorphine (<16mg). During induction into
buprenorphine, all participants will be started at a dose of 2mg, and this dose will be
increased as needed for stabilization of opioid withdrawal symptoms, up to 8mg for the low
dose group, and up to 16mg for the high dose group, within a 5 day period. Participants will
be seen on a daily basis (excluding weekends) for the initial 5 day induction. At the end
of the 12-week study, participants will either be referred to a buprenorphine clinic if they
wish to continue this medication, or if they wish to be drug free, will undergo
detoxification from buprenorphine for up to a 4-week period. Follow-up visits, scheduled at
1, 3, and 6 months after study completion, will evaluate the durability of treatment effects
on drug use and psychosocial outcomes. Veterans will be recruited primarily through
advertisement, but also through the clinical facilities at the VA and from other
collaborators.
