Pharmacotherapies for Alcohol and Substance Use Disorder Research Program Consortium

Abstract

The PASA objective is to identify promising potential treatments for ASUD particularly in the presence of other psychological disorders including PTSD. Of particular concern is opioid use disorder (OUD) in Veterans. Veterans with PTSD appear to be more susceptible to develop OUD, and the prevalence of this is increasing. Therefore, the PASACore solicits, funds, and participates in the conduct and analysis of non-clinical basic science studies, preclinical animal research studies, and early-phase clinical trials of potential treatment compounds. The intention of these studies is to provide early-stage evidence that these compounds are safe and potentially effective in treating ASUD,particularly in the presence of PTSD and other psychological disorders.
