About this trial

BEBOP is a prospective, multicenter, national, comparative, non-randomized, open cohort study aiming to characterize opioid use disorder (OUD) severity and psychosocial severity among adults who use opioids, and to identify biological and psychosocial factors associated with OUD severity and its clinical evolution over a 2-year follow-up period.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

To systematically characterize OUD severity (DSM -5 criteria ) and psychosocial factors in N=300 individuals with OUD

Assessment of opioid use disorder (OUD) severity using DSM-5 diagnostic criteria and assessment of psychosocial severity based on sociodemographic, socioeconomic, social and psychiatric characteristics at baseline. OUD severity will be categorized according to the number of DSM-5 criteria: presence of OUD (≥2 criteria) versus absence of OUD (\<2 criteria), and severe OUD (≥6 criteria) versus non-severe OUD (\>2 and \<6 criteria). Associations between OUD severity categories and psychosocial severity parameters will be assessed using bivariate and multivariable analyses.

Time frame
At inclusion

Secondary outcomes

1

Examine genome -wide epigenic regulation and gene expression in peripheral blood samples collected from all subjects, at inclusion assess the evolution of OUD and psychosocial severity in the cohort, over 2 years.

Two secondary outcome will be measured (1) The investigators want to examine genome -wide epigenic regulation (DNA methylation) and gene expression in peripheral blood samples collected from all subjects, at inclusion; then to leverage systems biology to characterize relationships among these molecular measures and OUD and psychosocial severity (2) The investigators want to assess the evolution of OUD and psychosocial severirity in the whole cohort, over 2 years, in order to determine how such evolution can be predicted using molecular epigenic biomarkers defined at inclusion

Time frame
