This proposal is relevant to the 240,000 cancer survivors who continue to use opioids long after they have successfully completed treatment for cancer at the VHA, placing them at risk of opioid addiction and overdose, and other opioid-related problems. Yet, there are no programs at the VHA to help them find alternatives to opioids, nor evidence to inform the choice of interventions. This study will meet these needs by examining four interventions that are effective at reducing opioid use in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain but have yet to be tested in cancer survivors on long term opioid therapy. The proposed work is relevant to the VHA Pain Office's mission to provide Veterans better pain management while limiting the risks of long-term opioid therapy and it aligns with VHA Research and Development's priority to examine clinical interventions for tapering opioids. Successful completion this project will keep VHA at the forefront of the battle against the opioid epidemic with a strategy that may be adapted to address the same needs in non-Veterans.

7 % of pregnant people use opioids. Opioid use during pregnancy can negatively impact maternal and offspring health. Medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), commonly buprenorphine, are the recommended treatment for opioid use disorder during pregnancy to prevent cycles of withdrawal and relapse. In addition to effects on opioid receptors, opioids have strong binding affinity to toll-like receptor (TLR) 4, an immune cell receptor, and thereby impact neuroinflammatory signaling. We have previously shown that neuroimmune alterations are important for the display of maternal behavior. Here, we used a rodent model to assess the impact of chronic peripartum opioid exposure or MOUD on maternal caregiving and neuroinflammation in the postpartum brain. Female rats were exposed to vehicle (VEH), buprenorphine (BUP) to model MOUD, or oxycodone (OXY), to model peripartum drug use, before, during, and after pregnancy. Opioid exposure reduced gestation length and maternal weight gain. Postpartum maternal caretaking behaviors, including pup retrieval, huddling and nursing, and pup-directed sniffing and licking, were reduced in opioid-exposed mothers. Following behavioral testing, tissue was collected from brain regions important for maternal caretaking, including the prefrontal cortex (PFC), nucleus accumbens (NAc), preoptic area (POA), amygdala (AMY), and periaqueductal grey (PAG). Immunofluorescent labeling showed that BUP increased astrocyte labeling, while OXY increased microglia labeling in the PAG, but not other regions. Gene expression analysis also showed regional and treatment differences in immune transcripts. BUP and OXY increased TLR4 in the PFC. BUP increased TNF in the NAc but decreased IL1β in the POA. OXY increased CD68 in the POA, and IL1β, TNF, and TLR4 in the PAG. Together, these results provide novel evidence of peripartum neuroimmune alterations following chronic opioid exposure that could be mediating maternal care deficits. This work provides a foundation to explore the extent to which modulation of neuroimmune activation may be a potential intervention for caregiving deficits in mothers exposed to opioids during pregnancy.

Initiation of buprenorphine in the emergency department or emergency out-of-hospital setting: A mixed-methods systematic review

Review

Author: Nielsen, Suzanne ; Armour, Richard ; Han, Ming Xuan ; Ross, Linda ; Buxton, Jane A ; Buxton, Jane A. ; Bolster, Jennifer

INTRODUCTION:

People who use substances increasingly access healthcare primarily through emergency medical services (EMS) and emergency departments (EDs). To meet the needs of these patients, EMS and EDs have become access points for medications for opioid use disorder (OUD), specifically buprenorphine. This systematic review aimed to quantify the efficacy of these programs, examining retention in treatment for OUD, rates of re-presentation to ED or EMS, and rates of precipitated withdrawal, as well as summarise clinician and patient perspectives on buprenorphine initiation in these settings.

METHODS:

This review considered studies including patients with OUD receiving, and providers initiating, buprenorphine in an ED or EMS setting. A convergent, segregated approach to mixed-methods review was used as recommended by the Joanna Briggs Institute. A search was conducted of MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library. Where relevant, meta-analyses of odds ratios and proportions were conducted.

FINDINGS:

In both randomised (OR 5.97, 95 %CI 2.52-14.14, 227 participants, I² 16.93 %) and observational (OR 4.28, 95 %CI 2.45-7.48, 779 participants, I² 66.97 %) research, buprenorphine in the ED or EMS setting was associated with increased odds of treatment engagement at 30 days. Rates of retention in treatment varied across measured time points, from 77 % (95 %CI 74-80 %, 763 participants, I² 0.01 %) within 24 h, to 35 % (95 %CI 29-40 %) at 12 months. A low rate of precipitated withdrawal was reported (0.00 %, 95 %CI 0.00-1.00 %, 851 participants, I² 0.00 %). Clinicians and patients were generally supportive of ED-initiated buprenorphine, while identifying the initiation buprenorphine as one component of a longitudinal care path for people with OUD. Patients valued clinicians engaging in shared decision-making, while clinicians identified the environment of the ED often made this challenging.

CONCLUSION:

The initiation of buprenorphine in the ED setting is associated with higher odds of short and medium-term treatment engagement. Further research is required into EMS-initiated buprenorphine, as well as patient perspectives of ED- and EMS-initiated buprenorphine.

Buprenorphine initiation and rates of associated precipitated withdrawal in patients with fentanyl use in an urban emergency department

Article

Author: Geier, Curtis ; Ly, Janice ; Checkley, Laura ; LeSaint, Kathy T

BACKGROUND:

Fentanyl use has been linked with an increasing number of opioid-related deaths. The emergency department (ED) is a critical contact point for patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) to access basic healthcare. Little information is known about buprenorphine precipitated opioid withdrawal (BPOW). This study sought to examine the rates of BPOW in patients who used fentanyl and received buprenorphine in the ED.

METHODS:

A retrospective cohort study was conducted in a single emergency department in an urban city and included patients who reported use of fentanyl and who received buprenorphine for opioid withdrawal. The primary outcome was occurrence of BPOW, in which we assessed for interrater reliability between data abstractors. Data extraction included patients' demographic characteristics, date of service, length of stay, Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale (COWS) score assessments, dosages of administered buprenorphine, occurrence of BPOW, and ED disposition.

RESULTS:

Over the course of 28 months, buprenorphine was administered 113 patients (12.5 %) who reported using fentanyl prior to their ED presentation. The majority of patients identified as White (49 %), and most patients presented with a chief complaint other than specific opioid related concerns. Fifty-one patients (45 %) had an initial COWS score documented, with a median score of 11. Three patients (2.6 %) had BPOW, two of whom required intensive care unit (ICU) admission.

CONCLUSIONS:

We demonstrate that the prevalence of BPOW is low in a cohort of patients who use fentanyl. When precipitated withdrawal does occur, however, it can be severe and require intensive treatment, ICU admission, and prolonged hospital stay.

Rapid Initiation with Once-monthly SUBLOCADE® Superior to Standard Initiation for Treating Opioid Use Disorder, Including in Fentanyl-Positive Patients, According to Data Presented at CSAM 2024

Data show rapid initiation with once-monthly SUBLOCADE significantly improves retention in opioid use disorder (OUD) patients, especially among fentanyl-positive participants. Study also administered second SUBLOCADE injection a week later vs. standard 28 days, enabling patients to achieve and maintain target medication levels more quickly.

Data supporting the subcutaneous administration of SUBLOCADE to alternative injection sites including the thigh, upper arm, and buttocks vs current subcutaneous abdominal injection site, were also presented at CSAM. SUBLOCADE has received Priority Review designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to expand the label to include rapid initiation one hour after a single transmucosal buprenorphine dose as well as inclusion of alternative injection sites. SUBLOCADE has received Priority Review designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to expand the label to include rapid initiation one hour after a single transmucosal buprenorphine dose as well as inclusion of alternative injection sites. RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 19, 2024 -- Indivior PLC (Nasdaq/LSE: INDV) last week shared results from a randomized, open-label sub-study in opioid-dependent participants seeking treatment, (NCT04995029) that demonstrates rapid initiation (RI) with SUBLOCADE® (buprenorphine extended-release injection) for the treatment of OUD significantly improves treatment retention compared to standard initiation (SI). RI with SUBLOCADE in a single day may reduce barriers to treatment and improve patient retention especially those who frequently inject opioids or use fentanyl without increasing the risk of precipitated opioid withdrawal (POW) symptoms. The data were presented at the 2024 Canadian Society of Addiction Medicine (CSAM) conference in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. “These findings underscore the potential for rapid initiation to transform opioid use disorder treatment,” said Dr. Christian Heidbreder, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer at Indivior. “Rapid initiation may improve patient retention and meet the immediate needs brought on by synthetic opioids in real-world settings, offering a practicable path to stabilization and long-lasting, meaningful recovery.” Conducted across multiple sites, this non-inferiority study included 729 participants (mean age 42, average opioid use of 15 years), stratified by fentanyl presence in urine screens, with an observed 78% fentanyl-positive rate. Patients randomized to RI received a single dose of 4 mg transmucosal buprenorphine (TM-BUP), followed by a SUBLOCADE injection within 1 hour. The primary endpoint was treatment retention at injection 2, administered 1 week after injection 1 comparing it to the current standard regimen of 28 days. Those in the SI group received daily TM-BUP doses over ≥7 days before injection, and if non-inferiority was met, superiority was assessed. Among the participants, RI was superior to SI in retention rates at injection 2, with a 12% improvement overall and 15% in the fentanyl-positive group. The shorter dose interval between BUP-XR injection 1 and 2 was designed to achieve and maintain buprenorphine plasma concentrations more quickly at target levels of 2 ng/mL. The overall Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE) profile up to Injection 2 was comparable for RI and SI. There were no unexpected safety findings. Data supporting the subcutaneous administration of SUBLOCADE to alternative injection sites including the thigh, upper arm, and buttocks were also presented at CSAM (NCT04995029). SUBLOCADE has received Priority Review designation granted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a labeling supplement, which would expand the label to include rapid initiation one hour after a single transmucosal buprenorphine dose and also expands from the current subcutaneous abdominal injection site for induction and maintenance to alternative injection sites including the thigh, upper arm, and buttocks. With a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date set for February 7, 2025, this Prior Approval Supplement (PAS) submission, if approved, could allow healthcare providers a flexible approach to initiate treatment rapidly, supporting better retention outcomes for OUD patients, particularly those testing positive for fentanyl. A Priority Review designation means that the FDA's goal is to take action on an application within 6 months (compared to 10 months under standard review). If approved, this label change could translate into significant improvements in OUD treatment with SUBLOCADE. +++ This press release has been issued by Indivior Inc. and the content has not been approved or authorized by the Canadian Society of Addiction Medicine. +++ About SUBLOCADE® SUBLOCADE ® (buprenorphine extended-release) injection, for subcutaneous use, CIII INDICATION AND HIGHLIGHTED SAFETY INFORMATION INDICATION SUBLOCADE is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe opioid use disorder in patients who have initiated treatment with a buprenorphine-containing product, followed by dose adjustment for a minimum of 7 days. SUBLOCADE should be used as part of a complete treatment plan that includes counseling and psychosocial support. HIGHLIGHTED SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING: RISK OF SERIOUS HARM OR DEATH WITH INTRAVENOUS ADMINISTRATION; SUBLOCADE RISK EVALUATION AND MITIGATION STRATEGY Serious harm or death could result if administered intravenously. SUBLOCADE forms a solid mass upon contact with body fluids and may cause occlusion, local tissue damage, and thrombo-embolic events, including life threatening pulmonary emboli, if administered intravenously. Serious harm or death could result if administered intravenously. SUBLOCADE forms a solid mass upon contact with body fluids and may cause occlusion, local tissue damage, and thrombo-embolic events, including life threatening pulmonary emboli, if administered intravenously. Because of the risk of serious harm or death that could result from intravenous self-administration, SUBLOCADE is only available through a restricted program called the SUBLOCADE REMS Program. Healthcare settings and pharmacies that order and dispense SUBLOCADE must be certified in this program and comply with the REMS requirements. Because of the risk of serious harm or death that could result from intravenous self-administration, SUBLOCADE is only available through a restricted program called the SUBLOCADE REMS Program. Healthcare settings and pharmacies that order and dispense SUBLOCADE must be certified in this program and comply with the REMS requirements. CONTRAINDICATIONS SUBLOCADE should not be administered to patients who have been shown to be hypersensitive to buprenorphine or any component of Indivior's proprietary buprenorphine gel depot delivery system. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Addiction, Abuse, and Misuse: SUBLOCADE contains buprenorphine, a Schedule III controlled substance that can be abused in a manner similar to other opioids. Monitor patients for conditions indicative of diversion or progression of opioid dependence and addictive behaviors. Respiratory Depression: Life threatening respiratory depression and death have occurred in association with buprenorphine. Warn patients of the potential danger of self-administration of benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants while under treatment with SUBLOCADE. Opioids can cause sleep-related breathing disorders e.g., central sleep apnea (CSA), sleep-related hypoxemia. Opioid use increases the risk of CSA in a dose-dependent fashion. Consider decreasing the opioid using best practices for opioid taper if CSA occurs. Strongly consider prescribing naloxone at SUBLOCADE initiation or renewal because patients being treated for opioid use disorder have the potential for relapse, putting them at risk for opioid overdose. Educate patients and caregivers on how to recognize respiratory depression and how to treat with naloxone if prescribed. Risk of Serious Injection Site Reactions: The most common injection site reactions are pain, erythema and pruritus with some involving abscess, ulceration, and necrosis. The likelihood of serious injection site reactions may increase with inadvertent intramuscular or intradermal administration. Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome: Neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome is an expected and treatable outcome of prolonged use of opioids during pregnancy. Adrenal Insufficiency: If diagnosed, treat with physiologic replacement of corticosteroids, and wean patient off the opioid. Risk of Opioid Withdrawal With Abrupt Discontinuation: If treatment with SUBLOCADE is discontinued, monitor patients for several months for withdrawal and treat appropriately. Risk of Hepatitis, Hepatic Events: Monitor liver function tests prior to and during treatment. Risk of Withdrawal in Patients Dependent on Full Agonist Opioids: Verify that patient is clinically stable on transmucosal buprenorphine before injecting SUBLOCADE. Treatment of Emergent Acute Pain: Treat pain with a non-opioid analgesic whenever possible. If opioid therapy is required, monitor patients closely because higher doses may be required for analgesic effect. ADVERSE REACTIONS Adverse reactions commonly associated with SUBLOCADE (in ≥5% of subjects) were constipation, headache, nausea, injection site pruritus, vomiting, increased hepatic enzymes, fatigue, and injection site pain.

Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation Awards $600,000 Grant to Care for the Homeless

NEW YORK--( BUSINESS WIRE )--Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation today announced a $600,000 grant to Care For the Homeless (CFH) to expand its "Bronx Health Reach Initiative," a program addressing mental health and substance use disorders among the South Bronx homeless population. The Bronx Health Reach Initiative is a vital street-based outreach program designed to combat mental health and substance use crises, focusing on Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for opioid addiction. In 2023, CFH provided trauma-informed services to over 11,000 homeless individuals in New York City, a 15% increase from the previous year. “The mental health and substance use disorder crisis affecting the homeless community deserves urgent and sustained support. This grant will enable Care For the Homeless to expand critical services and ensure access to much-needed treatment for vulnerable populations,” said Dr. Mark Levy, President and CEO of Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield. “At Anthem, we believe in addressing social determinants of health in a way that drives meaningful and measurable outcomes in the communities we serve.” Care For the Homeless President & CEO George Nashak added, “Recovery begins with accessible, compassionate care. This grant from Anthem allows us to deepen our impact in the South Bronx, particularly in reaching individuals who are battling both homelessness and substance use disorders. Expanding our immediate street-based initiation of Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) to address the opioid crisis allows us to provide timely, life-saving treatment to those who need it most.” The two-year grant will enhance outreach, staffing, and treatment resources, strengthening CFH's partnerships and increasing community engagement. With the opioid crisis continuing to impact the Bronx, this expansion is crucial for providing sustainable recovery opportunities. In addition to expanding access to care, the Bronx Health Reach Initiative will implement a comprehensive strategy to address the critical gaps in mental health and substance use disorder treatment within the South Bronx's homeless population. A key focus of the program is the immediate street-based initiation of Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), particularly with Buprenorphine, a proven treatment for opioid addiction. By engaging individuals directly where they are, the program aims to remove barriers to treatment and foster long-term recovery. The initiative will utilize a mixed-methods approach, conducting pre- and post-assessments to track progress and impact. Key performance metrics will include treatment engagement, housing stability, and community support. Regular checkpoints, including participant surveys and clinical data reviews, will ensure ongoing program evaluation, allowing for real-time adjustments to enhance effectiveness. CFH projects that over two years, the program will reach 3,300 people, with more than 1,250 individuals expected to participate in the full range of services, including mental health counseling, substance use treatment, and housing support. By prioritizing timely intervention and fostering strong community partnerships, the program aims to improve treatment adherence and access to care for participants by 40% while improving long-term housing stability and quality of life outcomes. The ultimate goal is to create a sustainable recovery model that addresses the immediate and ongoing needs of the South Bronx's most vulnerable populations.
