Summary

This trial aims to study how a new drug impacts safety & effectiveness for opioid use disorder (OUD) patients on buprenorphine treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-65 with moderate to severe Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) who are currently on stable buprenorphine treatment. They must have a positive urine test for buprenorphine, mild depression symptoms or greater, and agree to use contraception if applicable. Excluded are those on certain medications like antidepressants, with serious health issues, significant heart abnormalities, or recent suicidal behavior.
What is being tested?
The study tests the combination of Dextromethorphan and Bupropion (Auvelity) against a placebo in people with OUD. It aims to assess drug interactions and early signs of effectiveness in reducing negative feelings, cravings, and withdrawal symptoms associated with opioid addiction.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions similar to those seen with buprenorphine or dextromethorphan use such as gastrointestinal distress, mood changes, dizziness or sedation. Specific side effects related to Auvelity will be monitored throughout the trial.
