Targeting Treatment-Resistant OUD With Ketamine-Assisted Mindfulness Oriented Recovery Enhancement
Sponsor: University of California, San Diego
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the usefulness of Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement combined with Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KetaMORE) for individuals with opioid use disorder who are receiving medication treatment. The main question it aims to answer is whether individuals with opioid use disorder who receive Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement in combination with Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy will demonstrate greater reductions in opioid use and craving than individuals who receive Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy with a non-mindfulness support group. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement combined with Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy or Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy combined with a support group control condition. Researchers will compare these groups on days of opioid use, time to first opioid use lapse, craving, and mood, assessed using ecological momentary assessments and standardized measures collected during treatment and follow-up.

Conditions
Interventions
Ketamine
Ketamine will be administered as part of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy under medical supervision according to the study protocol. Ketamine dosing and administration procedures will be identical across study arms.
Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE)
Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement is a manualized, evidence-based intervention integrating mindfulness practices, cognitive reappraisal, and savoring exercises to reduce craving, improve emotional regulation, and support recovery from opioid use disorder. MORE sessions are delivered in a group format and coordinated with ketamine-assisted psychotherapy sessions.
Support Group
The support group intervention consists of therapist-led group sessions focused on emotional support and discussion of recovery-related experiences. This condition is designed to match the MORE intervention in duration and therapist contact while excluding mindfulness-based or structured skills training.
