NCT ID NCT07586917
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether patient navigation—a series of coaching sessions—helps pregnant women with opioid use disorder stay in treatment and reduce drug use. About 429 pregnant women will be randomly assigned to either usual care or patient navigation, which includes up to 14 sessions. The goal is to see if this support improves medication adherence and connects them to services.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Patient Navigation (behavioral intervention)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that patient navigation helps pregnant women with opioid use disorder stay in treatment and reduce substance use, improving outcomes for mothers and babies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral study with no drug being tested, so it won't cure addiction. Results may vary by individual, and the intervention requires time and commitment from participants.
