Description
Summary
This study is open to men between 18 and 65 years of age with opioid use disorder. Opioid use disorder is also called opioid addiction or opioid dependence. People can join the study if they currently take a medicine called buprenorphine. People with opioid dependence can act on impulse, which can lead to risky behaviours. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1356225 improves impulse control in men with opioid dependence.
Participants are put into 2 groups by chance. One group takes BI 1356225 tablets and the other group takes placebo tablets. Placebo tablets look like BI 1356225 tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants take a tablet once a day for 8 days. All participants also continue taking buprenorphine.
Participants are in the study for up to 6 weeks. During this time, they visit the study site 3 times. At visit 2, participants stay at the study site for 9 nights. Doctors test participants' impulsivity using tasks or games on a computer and questionnaires. The results are compared between the 2 groups to see whether the treatment works. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

- Currently engaged in medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) treatment at a buprenorphine/naloxone sublingual film total daily dose ranging from 8 mg/2 mg to 24 mg/6 mg or buprenorphine/naloxone sublingual tablet from 5.7 mg/1.4 mg to 17.1 mg/4.3 mg daily for at least 2 weeks at screening OR on a stable dose of depot injectable buprenorphine for at least 8 weeks at screening, with at least one week since last depot buprenorphine injection
- Have a current MOUD prescription in accordance with inclusion criterion 4 and a positive urine drug screen for buprenorphine during screening and upon presenting for randomization to document buprenorphine use
- Willingness to abstain from using alcohol for 24 hours (h) and all other drugs of abuse for 72 h prior to Day 1 and through discharge from the trial site

- Positive results on a urine drug screen for ≥3 drugs (not counting buprenorphine) at screening. In the case of a positive drug screen for 1 or 2 agents, if the participant does not meet the exclusion criteria regarding substance use disorder for these compounds, they may be included if the investigator determines that use will not be an impediment to trial participation or accurate data collection
- Any positive result on a urine drug screen (not counting buprenorphine and cannabis) at admission to the trial site on Day -1
- Intoxication at screening or randomization, as determined by clinical exam and breathalyzer
