Abstract
Purpose of Review: Opioid use disorder (OUD) presents a serious public health concern, with dramatic increases in opioid-overdose mortality in recent years and a small percentage of those with OUD accessing or remaining engaged with available treatments. Efforts are currently underway to identify vaccines targeting opioids, which could provide a novel and complimentary approach. The current review provides an overview of existing literature, practical considerations for designing and conducting clinical trials with vaccines for opioids, and future directions.
Recent Findings: This review covers the following themes: clinical trial design and selection of endpoints, timepoint selection, practical considerations and lessons learned from the first (ongoing) trial of a vaccine targeting opioids, and future directions.
Summary: Efforts to develop and test vaccines targeting OUD are based on a foundation of preclinical work and close collaboration between preclinical and clinical researchers. Efforts to learn from shortcomings of prior clinical trials of vaccines for other substances are essential in designing and testing effective vaccines for OUD. Design and implementation of clinical trials for a vaccine for OUD requires careful balance of participant safety and strategies for retention and efforts to gather viable data to inform future work.
