Trial Outcomes & Findings for Coordinating Opioid Use Treatment Through Medical Management With Infection Treatment (Project COMMIT) (NCT NCT04180020)

NCT ID: NCT04180020

Last Updated: 2025-04-03

Results Overview

Enrollment in effective medication treatment for OUD (either buprenorphine maintenance, methadone maintenance, or extended-release naltrexone) will be ascertained through interview of the participant at each assessment point, using a modified, brief version of the Treatment Services Review that records type and dose of medication treatment, contact information on the treatment program, and psychosocial treatment modalities accessed since the previous visit (e.g. professional counseling, 12-step group participation). The primary outcome will be a binary indicator of whether or not the patient is enrolled on buprenorphine maintenance treatment or other effective medication (methadone maintenance or extended-release naltrexone) at 12 weeks after randomization, verified by either report from the treatment program, or if the treatment program does not respond, prescription drug monitoring report or EMR.

Measure
Treatment as Usual (TAU).
Treatment as Usual (TAU). TAU: TAU is designed to systematize what is the current practice at the participating hospitals and in most U.S. hospitals while offering a minimum standard of care. TAU will constitute recommendation for MOUD initiation and consultation for addiction medicine when available; in practice, it is typically detoxification from opioids and referral to community-based addiction treatment after hospital discharge.
ID/LAB
Infectious Disease management of OUD with Long-Acting injectable buprenorphine (ID/LAB). ID/LAB: ID/LAB is the new model in which OUD is managed by Infectious Disease (ID) specialists and/or Hospitalists concurrent with management of the infectious diseases, using long-acting injectable buprenorphine (LAB).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks

Enrollment in effective medication treatment for OUD (either buprenorphine maintenance, methadone maintenance, or extended-release naltrexone) will be ascertained through interview of the participant at each assessment point, using a modified, brief version of the Treatment Services Review that records type and dose of medication treatment, contact information on the treatment program, and psychosocial treatment modalities accessed since the previous visit (e.g. professional counseling, 12-step group participation). The primary outcome will be a binary indicator of whether or not the patient is enrolled on buprenorphine maintenance treatment or other effective medication (methadone maintenance or extended-release naltrexone) at 12 weeks after randomization, verified by either report from the treatment program, or if the treatment program does not respond, prescription drug monitoring report or EMR.

Measure
Treatment as Usual (TAU).
n=85 Participants
Treatment as Usual (TAU). TAU: TAU is designed to systematize what is the current practice at the participating hospitals and in most U.S. hospitals while offering a minimum standard of care. TAU will constitute recommendation for MOUD initiation and consultation for addiction medicine when available; in practice, it is typically detoxification from opioids and referral to community-based addiction treatment after hospital discharge.
ID/LAB
n=86 Participants
Infectious Disease management of OUD with Long-Acting injectable buprenorphine (ID/LAB). ID/LAB: ID/LAB is the new model in which OUD is managed by Infectious Disease (ID) specialists and/or Hospitalists concurrent with management of the infectious diseases, using long-acting injectable buprenorphine (LAB).

This outcome will be measured by Timeline Followback, which assesses self-reported alcohol and other drug use including opioid use route of use and form of drug, for the 30 days before baseline, and for each day over the follow up period, using calendars and memory aids to enhance recall.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 weeks

This outcome is assessed by the Medical/Infectious Disease/TAU questionnaire. This form documents the completion of antimicrobial therapy and re-hospitalization for infection. The initial evaluation documents the relevant infection and medical details such as infection site, organism, and stage. It also extracts the type of ant-infective, route of administration, dose, and planned duration. Information on follow-up is collected alteration of treatment plan, infection related adverse events (e.g. PICC complications, drug reaction/toxicity to anti-infective agent prescribed by non-study clinicians, etc), and intervening hospitalizations. Completion success is defined as appropriate completion of antimicrobial therapy, as documented in the initial assessment, without interruption or unexpected prolongation of therapy.

Quality of life is measured using the WHOQOL-Bref, which is a is a well validated and widely used scale for persons with substance use disorders that measures the quality of social and occupational functioning as well as other domains. Scores are scaled in a positive direction (higher scores indicate a higher quality of life). A total of 500 is the highest score attainable and indicates highest quality of life in respondents.

n=85 participants at risk
Treatment as Usual (TAU). TAU: TAU is designed to systematize what is the current practice at the participating hospitals and in most U.S. hospitals while offering a minimum standard of care. TAU will constitute recommendation for MOUD initiation and consultation for addiction medicine when available; in practice, it is typically detoxification from opioids and referral to community-based addiction treatment after hospital discharge.
ID/LAB
n=86 participants at risk
Infectious Disease management of OUD with Long-Acting injectable buprenorphine (ID/LAB). ID/LAB: ID/LAB is the new model in which OUD is managed by Infectious Disease (ID) specialists and/or Hospitalists concurrent with management of the infectious diseases, using long-acting injectable buprenorphine (LAB).
