NCT ID NCT04462250
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aimed to develop and test a smartphone app to help patients use, store, and dispose of opioid pain medications safely. It planned to include focus groups and a small trial with a reward system. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no data or conclusions are available.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Prescription Opioid Management App (smartphone application)
What this could lead to
If successful, this app could help people use opioid painkillers more safely and reduce the risk of misuse.
What could go wrong
The study was withdrawn before it started, so no results are available. It was only a small feasibility study, so even if completed, it would not prove the app works on a large scale.
