Group 2 names the comparator: placebo.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Gabapentin | Gabapentin started on day 3 of week 1, increased up to a maximum dose of 800 mg BID by day 3 of week 2 and maintained for 2 weeks followed by 5-day taper.~Buprenorphine (BUP) stabilization up to 12 mg (day 2 of week 1) then a 10-day BUP taper by the end of week 3.~During week 4, detoxed subjects get 0.1 mg of clonidine followed by oral naltrexone (NTX) at 6.25 mg and another 6.25 mg (day 1), 25 mg (day 2) and 50 mg (day 3) then depot NTX injection (later on day 3 or day 4).~Gabapentin: N-type calcium channel blocker being examined for its potential efficacy to alleviate opioid withdrawal during buprenorphine-assisted detox and transition to depot naltrexone.~Buprenorphine: All participants are stabilized on buprenorphine and then undergo a 10 day taper off buprenorphine.~Clonidine: All participants who successfully taper off buprenorphine receive Clonidine (0.1 mg) prior to induction onto oral naltrexone.~Naltrexone (oral): All participants receive increasing doses of oral naltrexone over a 3 day period (day 1: 6.25 and 6.25 mg; day 2: 25 mg; day 3: 50 mg)~Naltrexone (depot): All participants who tolerate oral naltrexone at 50 mg will receive the naltrexone injection on either the same day as the 50 mg dose or the day after. | 33 | 41 | OG000 |
| Group 2 | Placebo | Participants in this arm begin receiving placebo (microcrystalline cellulose) in twice daily capsules on day 3 of week 1 and continue to do so through the beginning of week 5.~Buprenorphine (BUP) stabilization up to 12 mg (day 2 of week 1) then a 10-day BUP taper by the end of week 3.~During week 4, detoxed subjects get 0.1 mg of clonidine followed by oral naltrexone (NTX) at 6.25 mg and another 6.25 mg (day 1), 25 mg (day 2) and 50 mg (day 3) then depot NTX injection (later on day 3 or day 4).~Buprenorphine: All participants are stabilized on buprenorphine and then undergo a 10 day taper off buprenorphine.~Clonidine: All participants who successfully taper off buprenorphine receive Clonidine (0.1 mg) prior to induction onto oral naltrexone.~Naltrexone (oral): All participants receive increasing doses of oral naltrexone over a 3 day period (day 1: 6.25 and 6.25 mg; day 2: 25 mg; day 3: 50 mg)~Naltrexone (depot): All participants who tolerate oral naltrexone at 50 mg will receive the naltrexone injection on either the same day as the 50 mg dose or the day after.~Placebo: Microcrystalline cellulose | 29 | 34 | OG001 |
