Cravings and impulsivity are key contributors that lead people to return to opioid misuse, but are not addressed by currently available treatments and tools. This project will develop and validate BoostPrime, a customized digital therapeutic software tool that delivers novel cognitive training exercises. The tool aims to help address cravings and strengthen momentary self-control for people with opioid use disorder by incorporating.

Optogenetic Pain Modulator for Non-Opioid Chronic Pain Management Cross-Cutting Research Small Business Programs NINDS OPSIN BIOTHERAPEUTICS, INC. NARCISSE, DARRYL Bedford, TX 2023
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Development of Therapies and Technologies Directed at Enhanced Pain Management (R43/R44 - Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: RFA-NS-20-011
Summary:

Optogenetics is a method of controlling nerve or brain activity using light-sensitive cell receptors (opsins). Optogenetics has been used in brain research for decades, allowing researchers to understand the brain and its associated disorders by selectively turning on and off specific nerve cells. This project will develop and refine use of an opsin and a light-stimulation device to control nerve cells contributing to the sensation of pain.

Novel Venous Device for the Treatment of Chronic Pelvic Pain Cross-Cutting Research Small Business Programs NICHD V-FLOW MEDICAL, INC. BRENNEMAN, RODNEY San Juan Capistrano, CA 2023
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Development of Therapies and Technologies Directed at Enhanced Pain Management (R43/R44 - Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: RFA-NS-20-011
Summary:

Pelvic venous compression is a common cause of chronic pelvic pain in women. Because many women do not receive an accurate diagnosis for the cause of their pelvic pain, some take opioids to help manage their symptoms. This project will further develop a new diagnostic system specifically designed to treat limited blood flow in pelvic region. This system visualizes pelvic veins toward development of a method to relieve pressure that causes pain.

Combination Therapeutic for Chronic Opioid Use Disorder Relapse Cross-Cutting Research Small Business Programs NIDA APHIOS CORPORATION CASTOR, TREVOR P Woburn, MA 2023
NOFO Title: PHS 2022-2 Omnibus Solicitation of the NIH, CDC and FDA for Small Business Innovation Research Grant Applications (Parent SBIR [R43/R44] Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: PA-22-176
Summary:

Side effects from taking the opioid receptor blocker naltrexone make it difficult for patients to adhere to treatment with this medication for opioid use disorder. Cannabidiol (CBD), a bioactive ingredient of cannabis, is not an opioid and is non-psychoactive. Previous research shows that CBD blocks opioid-seeking behaviors, craving, and withdrawal. This project will develop tiny particles containing CBD and low-dose naltrexone. The research will determine if this combined version of CBD and naltrexone helps people stay in treatment and prevents relapse without problematic side effects.

Development of a Novel Calcium Channel Therapeutic for Opioid Use Disorder Cross-Cutting Research Small Business Programs NIDA VIVREON BIOSCIENCES, LLC GREENBERG, MILTON L San Diego, CA 2023
NOFO Title: Developing Regulated Therapeutic and Diagnostic Solutions for Patients Affected by Opioid and/or Stimulants use Disorders (OUD/StUD) (R43/R44 - Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-23-021
Summary:

Hospitalized patients often receive opioids for pain and sleep management, which can contribute to opioid dependence and continued use after leaving the hospital. Even when hospital stays are extended to wean people from opioids, these patients remain at increased risk for opioid use disorder and withdrawal.  This project will develop a novel small molecule medication that blocks nerve inflammation to prevent opioid dependence in hospitalized patients receiving opioids.

Developing and Testing the Opioid Rapid Response System Cross-Cutting Research Small Business Programs NIDA REAL PREVENTION, LLC HECHT, MICHAEL (contact); CHOI, HYE JEONG Clifton, NJ 2023
NOFO Title: PHS 2022-2 Omnibus Solicitation of the NIH and CDC for Small Business Innovation Research Grant Applications (Parent SBIR [R43/R44] Clinical Trial Required)
NOFO Number: PA-22-177
Summary:

Reversing an opioid overdose requires a rapid response not available through standard emergency procedures. The Opioid Rapid Response System recruits and trains citizen responders to reverse overdoses with naloxone. It uses widely disseminated smart phone apps linking responders to an overdose through the 911 system. This project will complete the development of this system, test how well it works to reverse an opioid overdose, and prepare to share it widely.

Evaluation of the Therapeutic Potential of Exclusive Antagonists of Extrasynaptic NMDA Receptors for the Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder Cross-Cutting Research Small Business Programs NIDA NEURANO BIOSCIENCE MOLOKANOVA, ELENA La Jolla, CA 2023
NOFO Title: Advancing Validated Drug Targets for Substance Use Disorders (R43/R44 - Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-22-023
Summary:

New and safe therapeutic targets for treating opioid use disorder are needed. One promising approach is to test drugs currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that work independently of the body’s opioid system. The medication memantine targets N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in the brain, which have been implicated in the development and maintenance of addiction. This project will study a miniature version of multiple memantine molecules bound together that attaches only to NMDA receptors that are not within nerve connections. The research will evaluate the safety, misuse potential, and effectiveness of this molecular assembly in preclinical models. 
1R43DA058430-01
Predicting and Preventing Adverse Maternal and Child Outcomes of Opioid Use Disorder in Pregnancy Cross-Cutting Research Small Business Programs NIDA OPALGENIX, INC. PLUMP, STEVEN R (contact); SADHASIVAM, SENTHILKUMAR Carmel, IN 2023
NOFO Title: Developing Regulated Therapeutic and Diagnostic Solutions for Patients Affected by Opioid and/or Stimulants use Disorders (OUD/StUD) (R43/R44 - Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-23-021
Summary:

There is an urgent and unmet clinical need for a reliable technology to prevent maternal opioid use relapse and neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS) in their infants. This project aims to assess risk for these outcomes based on individual genetic and clinical factors. The research will expand previous studies of genetic and clinical predictors of opioid-related adverse outcomes. The goal is to develop a risk predictor algorithm and software tool for use in an electronic health record, toward personalized risk assessment and prevention of maternal relapse and NOWS.
