NCT03911466

Brief Summary

This is a sub-study of NIDA CTN Protocol 0080: Medication Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder in Expectant Mothers (MOMs; Unique protocol ID: 2019-0429-1). Participants in MOMs will be offered the opportunity to enroll in this sub-study, which is designed to evaluate conceptual models of the mechanisms by which extended-release buprenorphine (BUP-XR), may improve mother-infant outcomes, compared to sublingual buprenorphine (BUP-SL). The additional data collected in this sub-study will be combined with data from the main MOMs trial. It is hypothesized that: (1) the buprenorphine blood levels will vary, depending on which formulation of buprenorphine was received, (2) the variation in buprenorphine blood levels will be associated with fetal behavior (including fetal heart rate variability) (3) the variation in buprenorphine blood levels will be associated with differences in mother outcomes (including medication adherence and illicit opioid use) (4) the variation in buprenorphine blood levels and in fetal behavior will be associated with infant outcomes (including neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome and infant development).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (7)

  • Cmin of buprenorphine and metabolites in plasma

    A blood draw at the estimated time of minimum drug concentration ("trough") to evaluate adequacy of dose for the conceptual model.

    2 weeks post-randomization

  • Cmin of buprenorphine and metabolites in plasma

    A blood draw at the estimated time of minimum drug concentration ("trough") to evaluate adequacy of dose for the conceptual model.

    4 weeks post-randomization

  • Fetal heart rate variability

    This is the measure of primary interest from the fetal evaluation (non-stress test and biophysical profile).

    Estimated gestational age (EGA) approximately 36 weeks

  • Cmin of buprenorphine and metabolites in plasma

    A blood draw at the estimated time of minimum drug concentration ("trough") to evaluate trough-to-peak fluctuation for the conceptual model.

    Estimated gestational age (EGA) approximately 36 weeks

  • Cmax of buprenorphine and metabolites in plasma

    A blood draw at the estimated time of maximum drug concentration ("peak") to evaluate trough-to-peak fluctuation for the conceptual model.

    Estimated gestational age (EGA) approximately 36 weeks

  • Concentration of buprenorphine and metabolites in maternal plasma

    A blood draw around the time of delivery to evaluate the association between drug concentration and neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome outcomes.

    Delivery

  • Concentration of buprenorphine and metabolites in cord plasma

    Cord blood will be collected and used to estimate fetal exposure to buprenorphine.

    Delivery

Study Arms (2)

BUP-XR

Weekly subcutaneous Buprenorphine Injection (CAM2038) during pregnancy. During the 12-month postpartum phase, participants who are breastfeeding will continue receiving subcutaneous Buprenorphine Injection weekly; participants who are not breastfeeding will receive subcutaneous Buprenorphine Injection monthly. The target doses will be 24 mg for the weekly formulation and 96 mg for the monthly formulation, but the actual dose may be lower or higher as determined by the prescribing clinician (e.g., based on craving/withdrawal experienced by the participant, etc.).

Drug: Buprenorphine Injection

BUP-SL

Daily sublingual buprenorphine, with or without naloxone, based on site preference, during pregnancy and during the 12-month postpartum phase. The target dose will be 16 mg daily, but the actual dose may be lower or higher as determined by the prescribing clinician (e.g., based on craving/withdrawal experienced by the participant, etc.).

Drug: Buprenorphine Sublingual Product

Interventions

Weekly and monthly formulations of injectable, extended-release buprenorphine (BUP-XR).

Also known as: CAM2038
BUP-XR

Sublingual buprenorphine (BUP-SL), administered daily.

Also known as: Subutex, Suboxone
BUP-SL
