Program Activities
New PAs/RFAs
NIDA PAs
On June 27, 2000 NIDA issued a Program Announcement entitled Molecular Genetics of Drug Addiction Vulnerability (PA-00-115). This PA seeks investigator-initiated applications for research projects that identify chromosomal loci and genetic variations in genes that are associated with increased vulnerability to addiction or dependence on stimulants (e.g., cocaine and amphetamine), narcotics (e.g., opiates), nicotine, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, cannabis, hallucinogens, and/or multiple drugs of abuse in human beings.
PAs With Other NIH Components
On June 15, NIDA, in conjunction with a number of other NIH Institutes, issued Program Announcements entitled Basic and Translational Research in Emotion (R01) (PA-00-105) and Basic and Translational Research in Emotion: Small Grants (PA-00-106). The purpose of these PAs is to invite research grant applications to expand basic research on the processes and mechanisms involved in the experience and expression of emotion.
On June 27, 2000, NIDA, in conjunction with the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), issued a Program Announcement entitled Developmental Psychopharmacology (PA-00-114) soliciting grant applications to study the possible clinically significant effects that various psychotropic medications may have on the brain when administered during the developing phase that spans from birth to early adulthood. The main goal is to generate data that are relevant to the clinical use of psychotherapeutic medications in children and adolescents with respect to safety and/or efficacy within dose ranges, schedules, and routes of administration that are usually employed therapeutically. The ultimate purpose is to increase our knowledge of the safety and effectiveness of psychopharmacological treatments administered to children and adolescents.
On June 29, 2000, NIDA, in conjunction with numerous other NIH components, issued Program Announcements entitled Innovations in Biomedical Information Science and Technology: Phased Innovation Award (R21/R33) (PA-00-117) and Innovations in Biomedical Information Science and Technology: SBIR/STTR Initiative (PA-00-118). Through these PAs participating Institutes and Centers of NIH invite applications for innovative research in biomedical information science and technology to promote the progress of biomedical research. There exists an expanding opportunity to speed the progress of biomedical research through the power of computing to manage and analyze data and to model biological processes. The NIH is interested in promoting research and developments in biomedical information science and technology that will support rapid progress in areas of scientific opportunity in biomedical research.
On June 29, 2000, NIDA, in conjunction with numerous other NIH components, issued a Program Announcement entitled Planning Grants: National Program of Excellence in Biomedical Computing (PRE-NPEBC) (PAR-00-102). Through this announcement participating components of the NIH invite applications for P20 planning grants that lead to the establishment of National Programs of Excellence in Biomedical Computing. Subsequent to this PA, a series of solicitations will be issued by participating NIH Institutes and Centers to invite applications for National Programs of Excellence in Biomedical Computing (NPEBC) awards.
On July 25, 2000, NIDA, in conjunction with several other NIH Institutes, issued a Program Announcement entitled National Research Service Awards for Individual Predoctoral Fellows (PA-00-125). This is a revision and expansion of PA-99-017 that was published in the NIH Guide on November 19, 1998 and will remain active for three years. This program will provide predoctoral training support for doctoral candidates that have successfully completed their comprehensive examinations or the equivalent by the time of award and will be performing dissertation research and training.
RFAs With Other NIH Components
On May 24, 2000, NIDA and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) issued an RFA entitled Research on Depression Comorbid With Externalizing Problems in Children (MH-01-002). The purpose of this RFA is to solicit research grant award applications for research on early identification of depression (Dysthymic Disorder and/or Major Depressive Disorder) comorbid with disruptive behavior problems or disorders (persistent antisocial behavior, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, oppositional-defiant disorder, and conduct disorder) in children under 12 years of age in pre-school, school, pediatric care, and other settings - and for intervention research designed to treat or prevent these comorbid conditions.
Other Program Activities
Transdisciplinary Tobacco Use Research Centers Update
On June 14, 2000, Dr. Jaylan Turkkan reported to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) National Advisory Board (NCAB) on NIDA's support and activities in nicotine and tobacco use research, including the creation of and progress on the Transdisciplinary Tobacco Use Research Centers (TTURC). On June 29 and 30, 2000 the TTURC Principal Investigators, co-investigators, Mr. Richard Millstein, NIDA Deputy Director and other NIDA staff, NCI staff, staff of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and members of the newly appointed Consultation Committee to the TTURCs met for their second retreat, held in Alexandria, Virginia. Consultation Committee Members for the TTURC are: Gary E Swan, Ph.D., SRI International; John "Kim" Worden, Ph.D., University of Vermont; Kathleen T. Brady, M.D., Ph.D., Medical University of South Carolina; Ellen R. Gritz, Ph.D., UT M.D. Anderson Cancer Center; Denis J. Prager, Ph.D., Strategic Consulting Services; Richard R. Clayton, Ph.D., University of Kentucky; Tom Glynn, Ph.D., American Cancer Society; and Michael Goldstein, M.D., Bayer Institute for Communication. The TTURC investigators discussed the potential for cross-center collaborative projects in genetics, cultural research, neuroimaging, cost-effectiveness, and policy-related research in tobacco use. A third retreat is scheduled in San Diego, CA for late January 2001.
The Methamphetamine Clinical Program
To implement the recommendations of the Methamphetamine Addiction Treatment Think Tank (MATTT) meeting held in January 2000, a process was started to establish a group of sites to conduct clinical trials for methamphetamine dependent patients. Five sites have been selected where the epidemic is currently concentrated, two in the Midwest (Des Moines, Iowa, and Kansas City, Kansas), and the other three are Los Angeles, San Diego, CA, and Honolulu, HI. The first medication study protocol is finalized (bupropion) and was sent to local IRBs for review. This study is projected to start in October 2000. Additionally, selegiline will be studied first in inpatient clinical pharmacology studies at UCLA and UCSF for safety interactions with amphetamine. Following these studies, and if safety is not an issue, selegiline will be advanced to outpatient studies following completion of the bupropion study. Plans are underway to obtain lobeline from a pharmaceutical manufacturer to study its safety profile with amphetamine and ultimately also advance it to outpatient studies.
Clinical Research Efficacy Screening Trial (CREST-I) Study
On April 26, 2000 a group of outside consultants reviewed the data from each NIDA/VA Medications Development Research Unit (MDRU) in their CREST studies (three medications each and an unmatched placebo). Out of the 15 medications reviewed three medications were shown to give positive signals in these screening pilot studies. Reserpine (an antihypertensive medication) gave the strongest signal while cabergoline (dopamine agonist) and hydergiene (a brain metabolic and blood flow enhancer) gave weak signals. The recommendations of the consultants were to follow up with larger phase II studies on these medications.
Clinical Research Efficacy Screening Trial (CREST-II) Study
Similar to CREST-I, the second phase of rapid drug screening started following the completion of CREST-I. This second round involves eight different medications. The estimated completion time for these studies is November 2000. The data from these trials will be analyzed and reviewed by consultants by January/February 2001.
Cocaine Clinical Trials Operations
This network of four academic clinical sites has been established to replace the old MDRU sites to conduct clinical trials for cocaine addiction. These are UCLA, University of Cincinnati, Medical University of South Carolina, and University of Texas at San Antonio. The contract is in place with two other supporting contracts with TRI and KAI for data management. Eight protocols have been submitted for the sites to study, three are phase one interaction studies (Modafnil, Metyrapone, Tolcapone) one phase IIa study (Ondansteron) and two phase IIb studies (resperpine and cabergoline). These studies are projected to start in October 2000.
GBR 12909
The report from the Phase I (healthy volunteer) study is complete and will be reviewed by consultants in September 2000 in planning for a cocaine interaction study. The study showed 30-40% dopamine transporter occupancy at the 100mg dose level. Based on primate data showing equivalent levels of occupancy at doses reducing cocaine self-administration, this may be clinically meaningful in cocaine treatment.
NS2359
The final protocol for this safety cocaine interactions study has been submitted to FDA for review and is on line to start in January 2001.
Methylphenidate in Cocaine Dependant Individuals with Attention Deficit Disorder
An open label feasibility study showed a promising effect of methylphenidate in decreasing cocaine use in this co-morbid subgroup. NIDA has awarded a grant for Dr. Frances Levin to further study methylphenidate in this subgroup in a large double blind study. This study is approximately half way through completion.
Selegiline
The selegiline IR study has been completed and data are currently being analyzed. The VA Cooperative Studies Program review committee and their central IRB have approved the phase III 300 subject Selegiline Transdermal System study protocol. The protocol was sent out to local investigators for review by local IRBs and was also submitted to FDA for review. This study is projected to start by November 2000.
Lofexidine for Heroin Withdrawal Study
This phase III multisite study protocol was recently reviewed and approved by the VACSP central IRB, and will be reviewed by the VA CSP review committee. Following this review the protocol will be reviewed by the local sites IRBs as well as the FDA. Projected date to start this study is January 2000.
Desipramine in Cocaine Dependence
The Clinical/Medical Branch will follow the collective opinion of consultants that NIDA should further evaluate the concept of a desipramine therapeutic window in a phase II study. The protocol is near completion and will be submitted through the Clinical Trials Operations contract mechanism. Projected start date is March 2001.
Indian Health Research Centers
NIDA has agreed to fund substance abuse related projects that are approved through an RFA to establish Indian Health Research Centers issued through the Indian Health Service and NIGMS. Support for this initiative was recommended by the Native American/Alaska Native Work Group convened by the Special Populations Office. Kathy Etz, DESPR, Arnold Mills, DESPR, Richard Harrison, OEA and Lula Beatty, SPO, are NIDA staff who are working on the implementation of this activity.
National Hispanic Science Network on Drug Abuse
The Special Populations Office released an RFC to develop a National Hispanic Science Network on Drug Abuse in June 2000. Award of the contract is expected to be made by November 2000.
Summer Research with NIDA
For the fourth consecutive year, the Special Populations Office sponsored the Summer Research with NIDA program. Through placements with NIDA extramural investigators, 32 minority high school and undergraduate students were able to gain valuable research experience.
NIH Summer Internship Program
Scientists at the NIDA IRP selected 11 students to participate in the NIH Summer Internship Program (high school through graduate school). Students spent 8-10 weeks at NIDA working with scientists on various research projects and attending seminars at NIDA and NIH. The internship culminated in the NIH Student Poster Day held at the Clinical Center in Bethesda on August 3, 2000, where more than 300 students presented their research findings. Dr. Stephen Heishman is the NIDA coordinator of the NIH program.
