New NIDA PAs and RFAs

On June 16, 2004, NIDA issued a Program Announcement entitled Prescription Drug Abuse (PA-04-110). This PA supersedes PA-01-048 issued in the NIH Guide on February 12, 2001. In revising and reissuing this PA, NIDA continues to encourage research aimed at understanding and reducing prescription drug abuse while supporting appropriate medical use of therapeutic agents with abuse liability. Research is needed to understand the factors contributing to prescription drug abuse, to characterize the adverse medical, behavioral and social consequences associated with this abuse, and to develop effective prevention and service delivery approaches and behavioral and pharmacological treatments.

On August 26, 2004, NIDA issued a Program Announcment entitled MDMA: Research Areas Needing More Emphasis (PA-04-152). The purpose of this PA is to provide an optimally comprehensive, strategic, and balanced MDMA research program, given the upsurge in MDMA use worldwide, including its abuse outside the rave scene. Although researchers have made great strides in characterizing MDMA's neural mechanisms and neurotoxicity, it is necessary now to focus on specific areas of MDMA research, across all research disciplines urgently needing our attention.

On July 7, 2004, NIDA released the RFA entitled The National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network (RFA-DA-05-001) for the fourth solicitation for the CTN. This RFA invites cooperative agreement applications from established clinical investigators to participate in the CTN. Applications from geographic areas not currently well represented in the CTN are particularly encouraged. This RFA includes both new applications (new Nodes) and competing continuations. The applications are due October 14, 2004, with an anticipated award date of July 2005.

PAs/RFAs Issued With Other NIH Components/Agencies

On June 8, 2004, NIDA, in conjunction with numerous other NIH components, issued a Program Announcement entitled Midcareer Investigator Award in Patient-Oriented Research (K24) (PA-04-107). The purpose of this PA is to provide support for clinician investigators to allow them protected time to devote to patient-oriented reseach (POR) and to act as research mentors primarily for clinical residents, clinical fellows and/or junior clinical faculty. This award is primarily intended for clinician investigators who are at the Associate Professor level or are functioning at that rank in an academic setting or equivalent non-academic setting, and who have an established record of independent, peer-reviewed Federal or private research grant funding in POR.

On June 9, 2004, NIDA and the National Cancer Institute jointly issed a Program Announcement entitled Cross-Disciplinary Translational Research at NIH (PA-04-109).

Other Program Activities

CTN Update

Eight protocols have enrolled patients within the CTN Network, and several additional studies are in the planning stages. Five CTN studies have completed enrollment and follow-up phases. A total of 6,323 patients have been screened with 3,105 of those currently enrolled in trials. In addition to the primary CTN trials, there are 12 studies supported by independent grants or as supplements that use CTN studies as a platform. Highlights of the active program include:

• Protocol CTN 0003 (Bup/Nx: Comparison of Two Taper Schedules) began enrollment June 30, 2003. The study involves 11 sites across 8 nodes, with a targeted enrollment of 480 participants. Participation is at 41% of the targeted enrollment.
• Protocol CTN-0004 (Motivational Enhancement Treatment to Improve Treatment Engagement and Outcome in Subjects Seeking Treatment for Substance Abuse) closed enrollment August 9, 2004 and has a target for study completion in November 2004.
• Protocol CTN 0010 (Buprenorphine/Naloxone Facilitated Rehabilitation for Opioid Dependent Adolescents/Young Adults) began enrollment in July 2003. This is the first protocol in the CTN that targets adolescent substance abusers.
• Protocol CTN 0011 (A Feasibility Study of a Telephone Enhancement Procedure to Improve Participation in Continuing Care Activities) has completed enrollment and follow-up and is now at the analysis stage.
• Protocol CTN 0014 (Brief Strategic Family Therapy for Adolescent Drug Abusers) is in the final stages of provider training and will involve three phases of implementation. The first wave of sites has finished protocol training. BSFT will be implemented at 14 sites across 10 nodes plus Puerto Rico. This intervention is the first CTN study to target adolescents and their families. Enrollment is expected to begin in the third quarter of 2004.
• Protocol CTN 0015 (Women's Treatment for Trauma and Substance Use Disorder: A Randomized Clinical Trial) began in March 2004. This study is being carried out at 8 sites across 7 Nodes and targeted enrollment is 480. The enrollment is at 24% of the target enrollment.
• CTN 0018 (Reducing HIV/STD Risk Behaviors: A Research Study for Men in Drug Abuse Treatment), and CTN 0019 (Reducing HIV/STD Risk Behaviors: A Research Study for Women in Drug Abuse Treatment) began enrollment in April 2004. The targeted enrollment is 480 patients for each study.
• Protocol CTN 0021(Motivational Enhancement Treatment to Improve Treatment Engagement and Outcome for Spanish-Speaking Individuals Seeking Treatment for Substance Abuse) began enrollment in November 2003. This is the first Spanish only protocol in the CTN. It will be conducted at 6 bi-lingual sites across 5 nodes and has a target enrollment of 480 patients.

New Collaborative Study: Starting Treatment with Agonist Replacement Therapies (START)
The CTN will participate with the Division of Pharmacotherapies & Medical Consequences of Drug Abuse on a multi-centered trial to compare the effect of buprenorphine/naloxone (Bup/Nx) and methadone (MET) on liver function in the outpatient setting. This is a randomized, open-label, multi-center, Phase 4 study in participants entering opioid agonist treatment programs at community centers throughout the country. It is anticipated that 1,000 patients will be entered.

Guidelines for Substance Abuse Research Involving Children and Adolescents
Following discussions with bioethics experts and investigators who conduct research involving minors, the Bioethics Task Force of the National Advisory Council on Drug Abuse (NACDA), with assistance from OSPC, has drafted Guidelines for Substance Abuse Research Involving Children and Adolescents. These guidelines are intended to highlight and assist researchers and Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) in their consideration of some of the specific issues that are pertinent to substance abuse research in minors. They are not intended to replace or augment the regulations that already exist regarding the ethical conduct of research in minors. These draft guidelines are currently being circulated among investigators in the intramural and extramural community, IRB representatives, advocacy organizations, Office of Human Research Protections and NIDA staff for comments. Once these comments have been addressed, the Bioethics Taskforce will present the Guidelines to NACDA for endorsement, after which they will be posted on the NIDA website.

NIDA Summer Research Program
Flair Lindsey, Program Analyst, Special Populations Office, coordinated the eighth annual Summer Research with NIDA program. The program allowed high school and undergraduate students to engage in drug abuse research with NIDA grantees for 8-10 weeks during the summer. In 2004, 70 students and 27 grantees participated in the program.
