Trial Outcomes & Findings for Screen, Treat and Retain Meth-using People With Opioid Use Disorders at Methadone Clinics (NCT NCT04706624)

NCT ID: NCT04706624

Last Updated: 2026-01-23

Results Overview

HIV viral load was assessed at baseline (Week 0), Week 13, and Week 24 after enrollment. Viral load was categorized as: ≥200 copies/mL; ≥20 to \<200 copies/mL; or undetectable (\<20 copies/mL). This outcome measure reports viral suppression status at baseline (Week 0) and Week 24 in order to evaluate change in viral suppression following completion of the full intervention period.

Participant Flow

Participant enrollment began on 29 June 2021 and ended 1 April 2023. We screened 6708 people with opioid use disorder from 15 methadone clinics in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City and enrolled 667 participants.

After enrollment, 2 participants withdrew consent and declined to participate in the intervention. Thus, they were not randomized. This study employed a Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial (SMART) design. In the first phase, participants were randomized to one of two frontline interventions for 12 weeks. At Week 13, they were re-assigned to one of three adaptive strategies for an additional 12 weeks. We report outcomes stratified by the initial frontline intervention groups.

Measure
High Intensity Frontline Intervention
Participants randomized to the high intensity frontline intervention arm (12 weeks of contingency management)
Low Intensity Frontline Intervention
Participants randomized into the low intensity frontline intervention arm (6 weeks of contingency management plus 6 weeks of group education)
Received High Intensity Frontline Intervention in Stage 1 and SMS in Stage 2
The high-intensity frontline intervention consisted of 12 weeks of Contingency Management (CM), delivered through rewards for methamphetamine-negative urine samples. Participants who responded to Stage 1 continued to receive SMS reminders in Stage 2. SMS consisted of two daily reminders plus one weekly self-monitoring assessment, delivered for 12 weeks. This intervention was a Stage 2 add-on intervention for Stage 1 responders.
Received High Intensity Frontline Intervention in Stage 1 and Matrix in Stage 2
The high-intensity frontline intervention consisted of 12 weeks of CM. Participants who did not respond to Stage 1 were randomized and received the Matrix intervention in Stage 2, attending 12 weekly group counseling sessions. This intervention was a Stage 2 add-on intervention for Stage 1 non-responders.
Received High Intensity Frontline Intervention in Stage 1 and Matrix + CM in Stage 2
The high-intensity frontline intervention consisted of 12 weeks of CM. Participants who did not respond to Stage 1 were randomized and received the Matrix + CM intervention in Stage 2, attending 12 weekly Matrix group counseling sessions plus 12 weeks of CM. This intervention was a Stage 2 add-on intervention for Stage 1 non-responders.
Received Low Intensity Frontline Intervention in Stage 1 and SMS in Stage 2
The low-intensity frontline intervention consisted of 6 weeks of CM, followed by 6 weeks of Group Education (GE). Participants who responded to Stage 1 continued to receive SMS reminders in Stage 2, consisting of two daily reminders plus one weekly self-monitoring assessment delivered for 12 weeks. This intervention was a Stage 2 add-on intervention for Stage 1 responders.
Received Low Intensity Frontline Intervention in Stage 1 and Matrix in Stage 2

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (start of Stage 1) and week 24 (end of Stage 2)

Population: Only participants classified as Stage 1 responders with completed assessments at week 24 were included in this analysis.

Structured questionnaires will collect self-reported data at baseline and week 24 after enrolment. HIV risk behaviors were grouped into two types: 1. sexual risk behaviors, such as having sex with partners who were HIV-positive or whose status was unknown, having sex while using drugs or alcohol, or using methamphetamine to find partners or enhance sex 2. needle/syringe risk behaviors, such as reusing needles or syringes that had already been used by others (even if cleaned) or reusing their own needles or syringes multiple times.

Timeframe: Weeks 11-12 (end of Stage 1) and week 24-25 (end of Stage 2)

Population: Participants were analyzed according to their Stage 1 intervention assignment. Although participants could be re-randomized to different intervention groups in Stage 2, Stage 2 assignments were not considered in this analysis. Intervention response after Stage 2 was compared based on participants' original Stage 1 group.

Methamphetamine use was measured using twice-weekly urine drug tests. Treatment response is defined as testing methamphetamine-negative in 4 out of a possible 4 urine tests during Weeks 11-12 and during Weeks 24-25.

Participants who did not respond to Stage 1 were randomized and received the Matrix + CM intervention in Stage 2, attending 12 weekly Matrix group counseling sessions plus 12 weeks of CM. This intervention was a Stage 2 add-on intervention for Stage 1 non-responders.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Weeks 11-12 (end of Stage 1) and Weeks 24-25 (end of Stage 2)

Population: Participants were analyzed according to their Stage 1 intervention assignment. Although participants could be re-randomized to different intervention groups in Stage 2, Stage 2 assignments were not considered in this analysis. Heroin-negative after Stage 2 was compared based on participants' original Stage 1 group.

Heroin use was measured using twice-weekly urine drug tests. Participants were classified as heroin-negative if all four urine drug tests conducted during Weeks 11-12 and during Weeks 24-25 were negative for heroin.

This information will be collected using the study questionnaire at baseline, weeks 12th, and 24th. People who adhered to ART was defined as currently on ART and either (1) within 4 days they never forgot to take HIV medication or (2) never took HIV medication later 2 hours than required or (3) forgot to take their HIV medication at the weekend.

Opioid overdose will be assessed in the past 3 months through participant self-report using the question: "In the past 3 months, how many times have you had an opioid/heroin overdose?". Overdose is defined as an acute event due to heroin or other opioid use that required assistance from another person to recover (e.g., ambulance call, resuscitation, being awakened by others). This definition excludes episodes where the participant "just slept it off." Both non-fatal and fatal overdoses are included, and intentional overdoses (suicidal attempts) are also counted. For analysis, participants reporting at least one overdose in the past 3 months will be categorized as "Yes" for having experienced an overdose.

Quality of life will be assessed using the EQ-5D-5L instrument, which includes five health dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression), each with five levels of severity. Responses will be converted into a single utility index score using the Vietnamese value set (https://doi.org/10.1007/s11136-020-02469-7), ranging from 0-1, where higher scores indicate better health-related quality of life. In addition, participants will rate their overall health on the EQ Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), ranging from 0 ("worst imaginable health") to 100 ("best imaginable health"), with higher scores reflecting better perceived health. Both the EQ-5D-5L utility index and the VAS score will be analyzed as continuous outcomes.
