Integrating Buprenorphine Into HIV Treatment
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by Organization to Achieve Solutions in Substance Abuse (OASIS), August 2005
First Received: October 17, 2005   Last Updated: October 24, 2005   History of Changes
Sponsored by: Organization to Achieve Solutions in Substance Abuse (OASIS)

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00241930
  Purpose

We hypothesize that integrating drug treatment into HIV treatment will improve HIV outcomes as well as drug treatment outcomes in heroin users. This study will test this hypothesis by randomizing patients to two groups. The first group will receive HIV treatment and buprenorphine treatment contemporaneously at their HIV clinic. The second group will receive HIV treatment at their HIV clinic, and go to another facility to receive buprenorphine treatment services. We will look at HIV outcomes such as CD4 counts, HIV viral loads, and attendance at appointments and drug treatment outcomes such as receipt of buprenorphine and urine toxicology testing.

Further study details as provided by Organization to Achieve Solutions in Substance Abuse (OASIS):

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • 1.Impact of integrated care vs nonintegrated care on:
  • a. Substance use and high-risk transmission behaviors
  • b. Medical engagement and outcomes
  • c. Psychosocial indices, such as criminal justice, employment, housing, and education

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • 1. Acceptability of HIV treatment-based buprenorphine therapy
  • 2. Health services utilization

Estimated Enrollment: 60
Study Start Date: September 2005
Estimated Study Completion Date: February 2009
Detailed Description:

This study will test the hypothesis that integrating buprenorphine within the context of primary care HIV treatment will improve outcomes for HIV-infected heroin users vs providing buprenorphine services at a separate, off-site facility. As a means of engagement, we will offer the OASIS education group each week at each facility. For those randomized to integrated care, subjects will attend one education session weekly at the time of their HIV clinic. During these sessions, subjects will receive contemporaneous HIV clinic appointments (monthly), case management (monthly), drug counseling (twice monthly), and buprenorphine (which will be dispensed weekly.) For those randomized to separate care, subjects will attend HIV clinic appointments monthly, and will attend weekly education sessions at the OASIS facility. During these sessions, subjects will receive weekly buprenorphine, twice monthly drug counseling, and monthly case management.

We will measure outcomes by reporting attendance, CD4 counts, HIV viral loads, urine toxicology testing on at least a quarterly basis. We will also measure patient satisfaction, knowledge, quality of life, and a number of other outcomes.
