Implementing Contingency Management for Stimulant Use in Specialty Addiction Treatment Organizations
NCT05702021
Recruiting
Stimulants constitute a new and deadly fourth wave of the opioid epidemic. Contingency management is the most effective intervention for stimulant use and is an evidence-based adjunct to medication for opioid use disorder. Yet, uptake of contingency management in opioid treatment programs that provide medication for opioid use disorder remains low; in fact, access to contingency management is arguably one of the greatest research-to-practice gaps in the addiction treatment services field.

Busulfan Sample Collection Study
NCT05711732
Recruiting
Busulfan (Busulfex®) is an alkylating drug used as a conditioning regimen prior to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Busulfan has wide inter- and intra-patient pharmacokinetic variability resulting in variable exposure leading to increased risk of toxicities or sub-optimal treatment outcomes. Therapeutic drug monitoring of busulfan using patient plasma samples would benefit clinicians by providing the ability to personalize the dose to achieve a target busulfan exposure.
