NOFO Title: Development of Medications to Prevent and Treat Opioid Use Disorders and Overdose (UG3/UH3) (Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: PAR-20-092
Summary:

The sodium channel NaV1.8 is a promising target for the development of effective, non-addictive pain medications. Recent evidence from clinical studies indicates that medications that target NaV1.8 are effective at managing postoperative, neuropathic, and inflammatory pain, but with side effects and prohibitively high cost. This project will test the safety and compatibility in the body of an NaV1.8-targeted molecule, toward developing an effective, non-addictive, once daily oral medication for the treatment of acute postsurgical pain and chronic neuropathic.

Biased Mu-Opioid Receptor Analgesics to Prevent Overdose and Opioid Use Disorders Novel Therapeutic Options for Opioid Use Disorder and Overdose Focusing Medication Development to Prevent and Treat Opioid Use Disorder and Overdose NIDA MEBIAS DISCOVERY, INC KUO, LAWRENCE C (contact); BARRETT, JAMES E Philadelphia, PA 2023
NOFO Title: Biased Mu-Opioid Receptor Analgesics to Prevent Overdose and Opioid Use Disorders
NOFO Number: PA-20-272
Summary:

There is an urgent need for a new generation of non-addictive, pain-relieving medications that do not cause problematic side effects like breathing problems or constipation. The overarching project is testing a new potential medication that interacts in a new way with the opioid system in human research participants. This supplement will help cover costs associated with the Safety Review Committee meeting required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Feasibility of Deep Brain Stimulation as a Novel Treatment for Refractory Opioid Use Disorder Novel Therapeutic Options for Opioid Use Disorder and Overdose Focusing Medication Development to Prevent and Treat Opioid Use Disorder and Overdose NIDA WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY REZAI, ALI R Morgantown, WV 2023
NOFO Title: Feasibility of Deep Brain Stimulation as a Novel Treatment for Refractory Opioid Use Disorder
NOFO Number: PA-20-272
Summary:

Novel treatments for opioid use disorder are critically needed as the addiction and overdose crises continue. Neuromodulation is a promising supplemental treatment to standard care. The overarching project seeks to evaluate low-intensity focused ultrasound that targets the nucleus accumbens, a primary component of the brain’s reward neurocircuitry. This supplement will expand the number of participants in part of the study and will increase the project’s overall impact consistent with the original objectives and aims of the parent grant.

NOFO Title: Development of Medications to Prevent and Treat Opioid and/or Stimulant Use Disorders and Overdose (UG3/UH3 - Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: PAR-22-200
Summary:

There is an urgent need for improved medications to treat OUD. This project will test cebranopadol, a novel synthetic medication that interacts in a new way with the human opioid system as a safe and potentially effective alternative treatment for OUD. The research will test the safety and efficacy of cebranopadol in preclinical and clinical studies, toward guiding future research to support potential approval of this medication by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
