Treating Pregnant Opioid Dependent Women: Examining Buprenorphine and Methadone Hendrée E. Jones, Ph.D. Associate Professor Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Baltimore, Maryland Presentation Goals Use of medication to treat opioid dependence during pregnancy Review of published prenatal buprenorphine exposure data Randomized double-blind study AATOD 2004 Studies of Medication During Pregnancy Controversial Some say unethical Stigma associated with medication treatment for pregnant women is severe AATOD 2004 Goals of Opioid Agonist Treatment Cessation of opioid use Stabilize intrauterine environment Increased prenatal care compliance Enhanced pregnancy outcomes AATOD 2004 Methadone is effective during pregnancy Methadone is recommended for the treatment of opioid dependent pregnant women Over 30 years of experience and research Does not appear to have teratogenic potential AATOD 2004 Methadone is not a “Magic Bullet” Medication Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) – Neuralgic excitability (hyperactivity, irritability, sleep disturbance) – Gastrointestinal dysfunction (uncoordinated sucking/swallowing, vomiting) – Autonomic Signs (fever, sweating, nasal stuffiness) AATOD 2004 The NAS of Opioid Exposed Neonates 55-90% exhibit NAS Methadone dose relationship to NAS severity is inconsistent Onset within 48 to 72 hours after birth Subacute signs for a year AATOD 2004 Buprenorphine Subutex or Suboxone Buprenorphine reported to produce less physical dependence in adults Full Agonist Heroin Morphine Methadone Full Antagonist Buprenorphine Nalmefene Naloxone Naltrexone AATOD 2004 Case Reports and Open-Label Studies Since 1995, 23 reports of prenatal exposure to buprenorphine Approximately 338 babies and number of cases ranged from 1 to 153 (median=6) 61% NAS with 48% requiring treatment – NAS appears in 12-48 hrs, – peaks 72-96 hrs – Duration 120-168 hrs AATOD 2004 Purpose Compare methadone and buprenorphine in pregnant opioid-dependent women and to provide preliminary safety and efficacy data for a larger multi-center trial AATOD 2004 Randomized Controlled Study – Double-blind (staff and patient) – Double-dummy (two medications) – Two groups: Methadone or Buprenorphine – Flexible dosing Methadone 20-100 mg Buprenorphine 4-24 mg AATOD 2004 Setting: Center for Addiction & Pregnancy Interdisciplinary Approach – Psychiatry – Obstetrics – Pediatrics – Nursing AATOD 2004 Criteria Inclusion: – 18 - 40 years of age – Gestational age 16 - 30 weeks – Opioid dependent (DSM-IV, SCID I) – Opioid positive urine AATOD 2004 Criteria Exclusion: – Methadone positive urine at admission – DSM IV axis I current diagnosis other than psychoactive substance use – Serious medical or psychiatric illness – Diagnosis of preterm labor – Congenital fetal malformation – Current alcohol abuse/dependence – Benzodiazepine use (8 or more times/month and/or 2 or more times /week) AATOD 2004 Primary Outcome Measures Infant Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) Length of Hospital Stay (LOS) AATOD 2004 Selected Secondary Outcome Measures Maternal – Days of treatment – Prenatal care visits – Illicit drug use Infant – Physical birth parameters AATOD 2004 Patient Flow Number screened 1490 Not Qualify Initially 1433 Qualify and sign consent 57 Randomized 30 Buprenorphine 15 Buprenorphine 9 Methadone 15 Methadone 11 AATOD 2004 Induction Patients stabilized on immediate release morphine (IRM) prior to randomization Is transition from IRM to methadone or buprenorphine similar?
