To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Other interventions - Pharmacokinetic analysis

Treatment: Other - Genetic and epigenetic analysis
Other interventions - Breast milk analysis

Naltrexone - Pregnant women with opioid use disorder on prescribed oral or extended-release naltrexone and their infants. Biospecimens collected from this group will undergo pharmacokinetic analysis, genetic and epigenetic analysis, and breast milk analysis. This group will also receive safety and efficacy interventions.

Buprenorphine/Naloxone - Pregnant women with opioid use disorder on prescribed buprenorphine/naloxone and their infants. Biospecimens collected from this group will undergo genetic and epigenetic analysis and the group will also receive safety and efficacy interventions.

Naltrexone - alcohol use disorder - Pregnant women with alcohol use disorder on prescribed naltrexone (oral or extended-release) and their infants. Biospecimens collected from this group will undergo pharmacokinetic analysis, genetic and epigenetic analysis, and breast milk analysis. This exploratory group will also receive safety and efficacy interventions.


Other interventions: Pharmacokinetic analysis
Pharmacokinetic analysis of maternal blood, maternal urine, cord blood, infant blood and urine for dyads in the naltrexone group at various time points in the pregnancy, at delivery, and 4 weeks postpartum.

Other interventions: Safety and Efficacy
Examination of the safety and efficacy of naltrexone and comparison of outcomes with the buprenorphine/naloxone cohort. Outcomes examined will include: 1) maternal outcomes (relapse, retention in care, preterm labor); 2) fetal outcomes (growth, fetal anomalies, fetal distress, cortisol levels); and 3) infant outcomes (NAS, growth, neurodevelopment via NNNS exam at 4 weeks and Bayley exam at 12 months of age).

Treatment: Other: Genetic and epigenetic analysis
Maternal blood and saliva DNA samples will be genotyped for single nucleotide polymorphisms in the mu opioid receptor gene (OPRM1) to look for associations with effectiveness of NTX and BPH. In addition, DNA methylation levels in the OPRM1 promoter within maternal and infant saliva and placenta at delivery and 4 weeks postpartum will be examined. Lastly, we will compare genome-wide DNA methylation levels at delivery and 4 weeks postpartum in mother-infant dyads.

Other interventions: Breast milk analysis
Mothers in the naltrexone group will have their breast milk analyzed at 4 weeks post-delivery for naltrexone levels, with corresponding maternal and infant plasma levels.
