Summary

"This trial aims to see if treating patients with opioid use disorder and infections using weekly outpatient oritavancin therapy combined with medication assisted treatment for opioid use disorder is as effective as standard care. Patients

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with opioid use disorder who have infections from drug use, need long-term IV antibiotics, and are stable enough to leave the hospital. They must not be on opioid therapy but willing to start MOUD (like methadone/suboxone), follow up at a clinic, and if female, agree to effective birth control or be postmenopausal/sterilized.
What is being tested?
The study tests weekly doses of an antibiotic called Oritavancin in outpatient settings combined with MOUD for treating serious infections related to drug use. It's a 12-week open-label study where patients also receive care coordination and support from peer recovery coaches.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects of Oritavancin may include digestive issues, skin reactions at the injection site, changes in blood test results indicating liver or kidney function alterations, allergic reactions, and potential interference with other medications.
