Beginnings of Drug Abuse Research
• Harrison Narcotics Act of 1914
• Physicians could only prescribe narcotics for the treatment of disease
• Narcotic addiction NOT considered a disease (antibody theory dispelled)
• 1919 Legal challenges upheld the Harrison Narcotic Act
• Treatment clinics shut down

Beginnings of Drug Abuse Research
• NAS/NRC “Committee on Drug Addiction” in 1929
• Proposed a program :
- Analyze literature on addictive alkaloids
- Formulate rules for legitimate use
& education of physicians and public
- Develop non-addicting replacements for morphine/codeine and cocaine
• Impetus for Lexington / ARC

Therapeutics of Narcotic Addiction
Dole, Nyswander, and Kreek-
• Proposed addiction to be a change in brain from prolonged exposure to opiates
• Looked for an orally active, long acting opiate that would manage withdrawal and craving
• Started evaluating methadone in the early 1960s
![Page 5: Medications Development Update The Division of Treatment Research and Development National Institute on Drug Abuse National Advisory Council On Drug Abuse](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5516208b550346b2068b45e6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Narcotic Treatment Program System
• System flourished as a research enterprise• FDA issued INDs for methadone to treat
opiate addiction• Ruling – researchers were required to submit
annual reports, and strict requirements were imposed on entry criteria, dose, and duration of treatment
![Page 6: Medications Development Update The Division of Treatment Research and Development National Institute on Drug Abuse National Advisory Council On Drug Abuse](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5516208b550346b2068b45e6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The Narcotic Treatment Program System
• Initial regulations published: December 1972 …allowed methadone to be dispensed in approved programs …with revisions in 1980, 89, 93 to change tx requirements and approval of LAAM
• Narcotic Addict Treatment Act, 1974• Institute of Medicine, 1995 – recommended that
regulations be replaced with practice guidelines and minimal regulations – accreditation model (FDA and SAMHSA)
• Most recent regs…2001 Opiate Treatment Programs (OTPs)

Narcotic Addiction, The TreatmentGap, and The Public Health Imperative –
Early 1990’s
• 800,000 chronic opiate users in need of treatment• At best, @ 150,000 in all forms of opiate treatment• About 650 - 700,000 users not in treatment• All causes mortality @ 3.5 percent per year• HIV seroprevalence noted to be high in addicts in
East Coast cities ( NYC = 50%) • New treatments and /or new modalities needed
![Page 8: Medications Development Update The Division of Treatment Research and Development National Institute on Drug Abuse National Advisory Council On Drug Abuse](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5516208b550346b2068b45e6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Initial Medications Program – Early 90’s Operations
• LAAM, buprenorphine, depot naltrexone• Cocaine Pharmacotherapy program-
– Clinical effort …Grantees used primarily marketed medications in clinical studies
– Cocaine Treatment Discovery Program started with advice from PMA group
– Established series of contracts for in vitro and in vivo tests
– Met with industry, academic, and government sources soliciting compounds to test
• Meetings with FDA re development issues

LAAM
• Multicenter trials 1970s…4600 patients• New IND filed in 1991 …one Phase III trial and a PK
study were conducted • Following the collective review of dosing experience
in over 5,000 patients, LAAM was approved for marketing in the US in 1993
• FDA review & approval in 18 days• New York and California took 4 years to implement
LAAM into OTPs• 421 of an estimated 900 OTPs have registered to
dispense LAAM
![Page 12: Medications Development Update The Division of Treatment Research and Development National Institute on Drug Abuse National Advisory Council On Drug Abuse](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5516208b550346b2068b45e6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
LAAM
• Roxanne Laboratories, the US distributor of LAAM, estimates that 5100 patients are currently using LAAM
• LAAM has not been useful in narrowing the "treatment gap”
• Eissenberg et al 1997, tested LAAM at several doses- retention equal across groups- dose-related decrease in opiate use
• Recently received “Black Box” warning from US FDA for “ toursade de pointes” arrhythmia ( 10 episodes out of 33, 000 patient exposures)
![Page 13: Medications Development Update The Division of Treatment Research and Development National Institute on Drug Abuse National Advisory Council On Drug Abuse](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5516208b550346b2068b45e6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Narcotic Addiction, The TreatmentGap, and The Public Health Imperative
• 980,000 chronic opiate users in need of treatment• At best, 280,000 in all forms of opiate treatment• LAAM introduction did not add substantially to an increase in treatment figures• About 700,000 users not in treatment• All causes mortality @ 3.5 percent per year• 50% of all new HIV seroprevalence (@ 20,000 infections)• HCV prevalence in narcotic addict population (90-95%)• New treatments and /or new modalities needed

Top Down Approach
• In placebo controlled, blinded trials the following medications have shown some evidence of efficacy:• Disulfiram• Amantadine and propranolol• Baclofen• Naltrexone
• CREST trials (2-3 meds with a placebo)• Cabergoline, reserpine, tiagabine, and sertraline
![Page 33: Medications Development Update The Division of Treatment Research and Development National Institute on Drug Abuse National Advisory Council On Drug Abuse](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5516208b550346b2068b45e6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Top Down Approach
• Follow up studies are being conducted or planned for :– Disulfiram (MCT planned for ‘04)– Baclofen (MCT planned for summer/late fall)– Amantadine and propranolol (SST ongoing)– Cabergoline (SST ongoing)– Reserpine (SST ongoing)– Tiagabine (SST ongoing)– Phase 1 studies (aripiprazole, GVG, cabergoline,
disulfiram)– Phase 2 studies (modafinil)
![Page 34: Medications Development Update The Division of Treatment Research and Development National Institute on Drug Abuse National Advisory Council On Drug Abuse](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5516208b550346b2068b45e6/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Top Down Approach
• Cocaine pharmacotherapies-
• Interactions with Behavioral Therapies in
2 x 2 study designs :– Naltrexone and RP (Schmitz/ Grabowski)– Desipramine and CM (Kosten/ Oliveto)
• Suggests interplay with cognitive processes

Bottom Up “ Translational” Research
• Translation of laboratory findings to clinical studies
• Relies on behavioral, biochemical and neuroimaging techniques
• Dopamine transporter inhibitors have been a program target for 10 years
• May have multiple mechanisms of efficacy
![Page 38: Medications Development Update The Division of Treatment Research and Development National Institute on Drug Abuse National Advisory Council On Drug Abuse](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5516208b550346b2068b45e6/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• High affinity for Dopamine Transporter• Slow onset of action & slow dissociation• Modest elevations in intrasynaptic DA at doses (ED80 = 1 mg/kg) that suppress cocaine self-administration in non-human primates• Antagonizes cocaine-induced increases in intrasynaptic DA

Beyond Opiates & Cocaine: Development of Medications for
Smoking Cessation
• Although the division has grants evaluating already marketed smoking cessation treatments, the only development project we have is the Nicotine Vaccine project (NicVAX®)
• Multiple non-nicotinic molecular targets could be evaluated
• Other NIH institutes interested • Pharmaceutical companies interested in
partnering with NIDA
