"Participants were randomly assigned (2:1) to daily dosing with ASP8062 25 mg or placebo on days 1-10."3.30A phase 1 randomized, placebo-controlled study to investigate potential interactions between ASP8062, a positive allosteric modulator of the GABA ( Alsharif, MN; Blahunka, P; Blauwet, MB; Erdman, J; Heo, N; Ito, M; Kelsh, D; Marek, GJ; Spence, A; Walzer, M, 2023)
"Gabapentin is a potentially useful drug in alleviating the hyperexcitatory painful states in the control of opiate dependence in acute detoxification and the stabilization phase."2.78The effects of gabapentin on methadone based addiction treatment: a randomized controlled trial. ( Alavinia, M; Moghadam, MS, 2013)
"Group A showed more withdrawal symptoms whereas the most common complain of group B was sedation particularly during the first three days."2.78The effects of gabapentin on methadone based addiction treatment: a randomized controlled trial. ( Alavinia, M; Moghadam, MS, 2013)
" Using a double-blind, randomized, crossover design, 16 healthy volunteers were administered (in separate sessions) capsules containing placebo, 75 mg pregabalin, 150 mg pregabalin, 10 mg oxycodone, and 75 mg pregabalin combined with 10 mg oxycodone."2.77Subjective, psychomotor, and physiological effects of pregabalin alone and in combination with oxycodone in healthy volunteers. ( Coalson, DW; Paice, JA; Zacny, JP, 2012)
"Interestingly, opioids induce hyperalgesia via many of the same neuro-inflammatory and central sensitization processes that occur with the development of neuropathic pain."2.75Gabapentin improves cold-pressor pain responses in methadone-maintained patients. ( Compton, P; Kehoe, P; Ling, W; Sinha, K; Torrington, MA, 2010)
"Severity of subjective withdrawal symptoms using the Subjective Opiate Withdrawal Scale at six stages."2.73Effect of add-on gabapentin on opioid withdrawal symptoms in opium-dependent patients. ( Kheirabadi, GR; Maracy, MR; Ranjkesh, M; Salehi, M, 2008)
"The neural mechanisms underlying opioid abuse and addiction are still not fully understood."2.72Progress in opioid reward research: From a canonical two-neuron hypothesis to two neural circuits. ( Galaj, E; Xi, ZX, 2021)
"Buprenorphine was superior to clonidine in controlling severe withdrawal symptoms in an outpatient setting (RR 0."2.58Pharmacological therapies for management of opium withdrawal. ( Amato, L; Amin-Esmaeili, M; Gholami, J; Hoseinie, L; Rahimi-Movaghar, A; Yousefi-Nooraie, R, 2018)
"However, it seems that opium withdrawal symptoms are significant, especially at days 2 to 4 after discontinuation of opium."2.58Pharmacological therapies for management of opium withdrawal. ( Amato, L; Amin-Esmaeili, M; Gholami, J; Hoseinie, L; Rahimi-Movaghar, A; Yousefi-Nooraie, R, 2018)
"All patients had substance use disorders, the large majority (72 %) to more than one substance."1.43Abuse of Gabapentin is Associated with Opioid Addiction. ( Bastiaens, L; Galus, J; Mazur, C, 2016)
"Fifty-eight percent had an opioid use disorder, again mostly in combination with other drugs and/or alcohol."1.43Abuse of Gabapentin is Associated with Opioid Addiction. ( Bastiaens, L; Galus, J; Mazur, C, 2016)
"These findings indicate that opioid dependence induces efficacious coupling of mu-receptors to presynaptic inhibition in GABAergic nerve terminals via adenylyl cyclase- and protein kinase A-dependent processes in PAG."1.30Enhanced opioid efficacy in opioid dependence is caused by an altered signal transduction pathway. ( Bagley, EE; Christie, MJ; Connor, M; Ingram, SL; Vaughan, CW, 1998)

Trial Outcomes

OOWS Score

"The OOWS is a 13-item instrument documenting physically observable signs of withdrawal, which are rated as present (1) or absent (0) during the observation period. Maximum score possible = 13, minimum score possible = 0. T=15 minutes post naloxone administration coordinates with T = 180 (min) for the entire study session.~OOWS scores at T=180 is the primary outcome measure of the study compared with baseline OOWS scores at T=-30 (30 minutes prior to study medication administration). Reported time frames are in relation to time past since administration of study medications.~Mean post-Naloxone OOWS scores (+/- SEM) were determined for pretreatment groups" (NCT00661674)
Timeframe: Change from baseline in OOWS score at 180 minutes (15 minutes post naloxone administration)

Interventionunits on a scale (OOWS Scale) (Mean)
Placebo3.5
Palonosetron1.0
Palonosetron + Hydroxyzine0

SOWS Score

"The SOWS score is composed of 16 subjective symptoms rated on a scale of 0 to 4 (0=not at all, 4=extremely) based on what subjects were experiencing at the time of testing. 15 minutes post naloxone administration coordinates with T = 180 (min) for the entire study session.~The highest score possible (64) would indicate that the individual was experiencing every symptom of opioid withdrawal to the fullest extent possible while the lowest score (0) would indicate that the individual was not experiencing any symptoms of opioid withdrawal.~Mean post-naloxone SOWS scores (+/- SEM) were computed for pretreatment groups: Placebo, palonosetron, and palonosetron with hydroxyzine" (NCT00661674)
Timeframe: Change from baseline in SOWS score at 180 minutes (15 minutes post naloxone administration)
