Hello colleagues,
The FDA Foundation/NIDA is asking for public input on a practical research agenda towards treatment development for stimulant use disorder. They are hosting a workshop on October 18 12:00-5:00 EST titled "A Practical Research Agenda for Treatment Development for Stimulant Use Disorder, Virtual Public Workshop"
and the agenda is available here and pasted below: https://reaganudall.org/sites/default/files/2021-10/REVISED%2010.5.2021%20Workshop%20Agenda.pdf

Event Description: The Reagan-Udall Foundation for the FDA, in collaboration with the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), is hosting a virtual
public workshop to discuss a practical research agenda toward treatment development for
stimulant use disorder. Stimulant use disorder is defined in the DSM-5 as "the continued use of
amphetamine-type substances, cocaine, or other stimulants leading to clinically significant
impairment or distress, from mild to severe." Adverse outcomes related to stimulant use are a
growing problem in the United States.1,2 There are currently no effective pharmacological
treatments for any type of stimulant use disorder. However, there are many opportunities to
improve the study design of clinical trials for stimulant use disorder. Clinical trials that are more
person-centered may result in increased sensitivity to detect a treatment effect, with the potential
for such a treatment effect to be linked to more long-term outcomes that are meaningful both
clinically and to the patient.3 Meeting participants will respond to a proposed practical research
agenda that focuses on innovation in clinical trial design and candidate endpoints for the
evaluation of potential treatments for stimulant use disorder.
