Investigators and Clinicians: CTN-0071 Needs You! |

CTN-0071-Ot, the Electronic Health Records Data Elements Research Study (EHR-DARE), will be launching this summer through the Mid-Southern Node.
This innovative research project aims to identify EHR data available at healthcare facilities associated with the CTN, with an overarching goal to address barriers to progress in substance use disorder (SUD) research.
Project staff hope to bridge the gap between desired and available EHR data through two aims of recruitment:
- Aim 1 will identify data needed to answer research questions of importance to advancing SUD screening, intervention, and treatment-related efforts. Investigators will receive an email with a link to the study’s private survey.
- Aim 2 will consist of two waves to identify and characterize EHR data current available at CTN participating health care facilities:
- Wave 1 will include another web-based survey, designed for clinicians at each of the health care facilities associated with CTN Nodes;
- Wave 2 will involve phone interviews with providers regarding specific scenarios within their EHR program.
The EHR-DARE study is project to begin in late summer or early fall 2016, and hopes to utilize local Node Coordinators for recruitment assistance. Please be on the lookout for updates coming from the Mid Southern Node throughout the summer!
Any questions can be forwarded to Micki Roseman, Mid Southern Node Coordinator (kimberly.roseman@duke.edu); Li-Tzy Wu, ScD., Mid Southern Node PI (litzy-wu@duke.edu); or Mary Williams CTN0071 Project Lead (mary.williams2@duke.edu). |

X:BOT Completes Recruitment!
The Lead Team is delighted to announce that CTN-0051 (X:BOT) met its recruitment goal on Friday, May 20, 2016 with the final participant randomized on May 25th. Final numbers are: 772 consented and 570 randomized; 352 “late” randomizers (those randomized more than 72 hours following their last opioid).
Participants remain in treatment for 24 weeks, with follow-up at week 28 and at week 36. The team anticipates the final follow up visit will be in February 2017, with data lock in May 2017.
The Lead Node thanks the Site teams, the Emmes CCC and DSC, and the NIDA CCTN for all their hard work getting to this study milestone! Read more. . .
Meet the X:BOT Tots!
As if meeting recruitment goals weren't exciting enough, the CTN-0051 study team also has some other "outcomes" to report: a fresh batch of very new, very small X:BOT staffers! (Be sure to notice their awesome "X:BOT TOT" robot onesies!)
Left to right: Nik (Josh Lee), Isabel (Elly Patterson-Bhatraju), and Kiyo (Sarah Meyers-Ohki).
Congratulations, expanding X:BOT family!

News from the Northeast Node
The CTN Northeast Node is pleased to announce their participation in a National Drug Early Warning Systems (NDEWS) “Hot Spot” study.
NDEWS is a NIDA-funded cooperative agreement with the University of Maryland’s Center for Substance Abuse Research (CESAR). NDEWS is charged with monitoring drug abuse trends and targeting specific “hot spots” of drug abuse via on-the-ground investigation to enable public health officials to respond quickly to potential outbreaks in their local communities.
According to reports from the New Hampshire Drug Monitoring Initiative for February, March, and April 2016, NH experienced recent increases in both drug overdose deaths and opioid-related emergency department visits. Nearly two-thirds of New Hampshire overdose deaths in 2015 involved fentanyl.
NDEWS will be sending a team to NH in early July 2016 to assist in characterizing this recent fentanyl outbreak in a 1-week Hot Spot study. The Northeast Node is facilitating connections with our NH Node partners and local experts for this study and will help with study data collection and dissemination.

New from the Addiction Technology Transfer Center (ATTC) Network
The 2016 NFAR Technology Summit will take technology-assisted care to the next level by focusing on how digital health technologies can be used to address health disparities and close the gap for individuals who face barriers to accessing substance use treatment and recovery services. Register now for the 2016 NFAR ATTC Technology Summit, Philadelphia, PA, August 3-5, 2016.
This month's featured article in the ATTC Messenger examines the Art and Science of Using Technologies to Intervene, Treat, and Support Individuals with Substance Use Disorders. The CTN Research Briefs this month focus on articles about CTN-0044 and CTN-0073-Ot, both of which also address the use of technology in clinical trials.
As always, don’t miss the great content from the ATTC/NIATx Service Improvement Blog!

SAMHDA: Source for Secondary Data
The enhanced Substance Abuse and Mental Health Data Archive (SAMHDA) is back online with new features and a new URL: http://datafiles.samhsa.gov.
CTN Researchers: SAMHDA is a data source to consider for the recent NIH Program Announcement on "Accelerating the Pace of Drug Abuse Research Using Existing Data (R01)" (PAR-16-234). NIDA, NIAAA, and NCI are all participating in the funding program.
In late summer 2016, the SAMHDA website will add a user-friendly, online analysis tool. Users will be able to create cross-tabs and perform logistic regression, chi-square tests, and t-tests from their web browsers. They will also be able to download output and underlying data in .csv format. A secure data portal will be added in early winter 2016 as well. Read more . . . |

News from Emmes (CTN Data & Statistics Center and Clinical Coordinating Center)
The CTN Data & Statistics Center (DSC) will be launching a new CTN website later this summer. This new website will replace the current http://ctndsc2.com/, including the Trial Progress and Data Status Reports. All study documents will be posted on the new website, which will eventually also replace Livelink. CTN Staff with existing website access will be sent access information and instructions on updating user profiles. As always, questions can be directed to nidadsc2help@emmes.com.
In other Emmes staff news, 10 abstracts from DSC and Clinical Coordinating Center staff were included at the 37th Annual Meeting of the Society for Clinical Trials this past May. The meeting was well attended by experts and professionals from academia, the pharmaceutical and device industries, government agencies, and clinical research entities.
DSC and CCC staff presented at the preconference workshops and contributed paper sessions at well. Click here for a list of the presentations and authors; please reach out to the presenters if you'd like to learn more about any of the topics!
