Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of memantine and buprenorphine on opioid abusing behavior, to determine the effect of memantine and buprenorphine on early relapse and to evaluate the tolerability of memantine co-administrated with buprenorphine. The study seeks to determine if combined treatment of memantine and buprenorphine may provide shorter-term treatment for opioid dependence.

Primary Outcome

The primary outcome variable was the change from baseline of the mean proportion of weekly opioid use assessed by self-reported days of use and/or positive urine drug screen during the previous week using the time-line followed-back method (TLFB) . A positive urine counted as 1, as did each self-reported day of use. Each participants total was divided by 8. Mean proportion by group were calculated by averaging the proportions across participants in that group.
