This $586,936 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) supports the development of a low-cost, disposable urine test strip that can rapidly and quantitatively measure substance use disorder (SUD) medication drugs and their metabolites. The award recipient, Vitan-Biotech LLC, will create a point-of-use lateral flow assay (LFA) test strip that leverages innovative signal amplification technology to enable sensitive and specific detection of SUD drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone in patient urine samples. This new diagnostic tool aims to improve monitoring of SUD medication compliance and metabolism, especially in low-resource settings or at-home care. The project will optimize the LFA strip formulation, design an associated mobile device app for quantitative analysis, and conduct statistical validation of the test's performance over an 18-month period ending in July 2025.
