Official title
Medication Adherence Therapy - Psychosocial Leverage Using a Treatment Significant Other
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
To test the feasibility and acceptability of a novel approach for improving the delivery and effectiveness of XRNTX treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) - the MAT-PLUS intervention. The components of the MAT-PLUS intervention are: XRNTX, initiated during an episode of inpatient/residential treatment and dosed monthly, provides opioid receptor blockade, relapse prevention and overdose prevention; Significant other engagement empowers family members or other designated concerned others, providing concrete guidance for monitoring, supervision, and improving adherence for their loved one in treatment; Assertive outreach incorporates frequent multi-channel outreach, in a model that specifically targets engagement and motivation for medication adherence; Counselor care coordination and case management focused on medication management and adherence. This objective #1 will be accomplished by conducting a small-scale, 2-arm, open label, RCT pilot study of 4 months of treatment with the MAT-PLUS intervention (significant other engagement and training, medication care coordination by counselors, assertive outreach) + TAU (monthly doses of XRNTX + routine counseling), vs TAU for n=40 (20 per arm) patients with OUD. Adult patients ages 18+ who receive an initial dose of XRNTX during an index episode of inpatient/residential/detox treatment for opioid addiction at a public-sector community treatment program treatment, with intention to continue in outpatient treatment. The experimental arm will receive the MAT-PLUS intervention for 4 months of ongoing outpatient treatment with XRNTX. The control arm will receive 4 months of standard TAU (XRNTX + clinic-based counseling) without MAT-PLUS. At the beginning of the trial an additional small (N = 4 or 5) group of test patients will receive the MAT-PLUS intervention to test and refine the study procedures.
