About this trial

This study will be a 12-month prospective, genotype-blinded longitudinal observational study with current standard of clinical care. This study will enroll 100 pregnant women with OUD at UPMC Hospitals with its high volumes. Because of the observational nature of the study, the anticipated dropout rate will be ≤ 20%. Investigators expect the effective sample size of evaluable patients will be 200 with longitudinal data.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence of maternal opioid relapse

Measured via binary response, yes/no

Time frame
Measured from enrollment to 3-months post delivery
2

Incidence of NOWS

Clinical definition of NOWS: Substance withdrawal encompasses a continuum of variable clinical expression from neonate to neonate; the diagnosis is not limited only to neonates who require pharmacotherapy. Incidence of NOWS measured by binary response, yes/no

Time frame
Measured at delivery

Secondary outcomes

1

Severity of Maternal Opioid Relapse

Severity of maternal opioid relapse measured by requirement of medical treatment (binary response, yes/no)

Time frame
Measured from enrollment to 3-months post delivery
2

Severity of NOWs

Severity of NOWs measured by the need for \>3 days of hospital stay (binary response, yes/no)

Time frame
