United States60 participantsStarted 2026-08

Plain-language summary

This exploratory project will assess the acceptability and feasibility of monthly extended-release subcutaneous buprenorphine (BRIXADI; XR-B) to treat opioid use disorder (OUD) among persons in the community receiving care on a mobile pharmacy clinic (MPC). Participants who are interested in initiating monthly or weekly injections of subcutaneous XR-B (BRIXADI) as a treatment for their OUD will be enrolled in a 6-month study assessing the acceptability and feasibility of receiving XR-B on an MPC.

Inclusion Criteria: * Able to provide written informed consent in English or Spanish * Current or history of DSM-5 moderate-to-severe OUD per Rapid Opioid Use Disorder Assessment (ROUDA) * Not planning to move out of state or to new location during study enrollment. Exclusion Criteria: * Medical or psychiatric disorders making participation unsafe or regular follow-up unlikely, (such as suicidal ideation or pre-existing moderate to severe hepatic impairment) * Persons who are pregnancy * People who show violent or threatening behavior toward staff and/or others * Allergy, hypersensitivity, or medical contraindication to medication (the BRIXADI needle cap is synthetically derived from natural rubber latex which may cause allergic reactions in persons with latex-sensitivity)

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
