Open Pilot Trial of Adapted Cognitive Processing Therapy for Comorbid PTSD and Opioid Use Disorder
NCT06872164 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of this open pilot trial is to learn if an adapted version of Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), delivered through telehealth, can treat posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in adults who use syringe services programs. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can the intervention be done in syringe services programs? * Are syringe services program clients and staff open to the intervention? * Can the intervention lower PTSD symptoms and help participants keep taking their medication for opioid use disorder (ex. Buprenorphine or methadone)? Participants will: * Attend 4-18 tele-delivered CPT sessions at the syringe services program * Complete between-session CPT practice with the support of SSP-based "coaches" * Meet with research staff monthly to complete surveys of their PTSD symptoms, drug use, and mental health

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06872164
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06872164 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 15 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is The City College of New York, which has 3 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Opioid Use Disorder appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Cognitive Processing Therapy is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06872164 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include New York. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
