Study objectives and endpoints.

Objective Endpoint
Primary

To evaluate participant engagement with PEAR-008 compared to that with reSET-O. The hypothesis is that PEAR-008 group will have significantly greater participant engagement than the reSET-O group. Number of active sessions with PEAR-008 or reSET-O per week
Secondary

To evaluate the impact of PEAR-008 compared to reSET-O on treatment retention Time to dropout (last contact with a participant)

To evaluate the impact of PEAR-008 compared to reSET-O on abstinence from illicit opioids Abstinence will be defined as abstinence on patient self-reports (via timeline followback) and the absence of nonbuprenorphine opioids on saliva drug screens. Abstinence (binary outcome: yes or no) will be determined 9 times, weekly during weeks 1-8 and at week 12.

To evaluate participants’ digital therapeutic use patterns of PEAR-008 compared to reSET-O Session duration; number of lessons and chapters completed; number of completed self-report assessments; response to notifications

To evaluate the impact of PEAR-008 compared to reSET-O on change in psychiatric symptom severity between baseline and follow-up Depression symptoms with Patient Health Questionnaire–8; Anxiety symptoms with Generalized Anxiety Disorder–7

To evaluate the impact of PEAR-008 compared to reSET-O on change in recovery capital and resilience between baseline and follow-up Brief Assessment of Recovery Capital–10; Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale–10

To evaluate participant motivation and satisfaction over time with PEAR-008 compared to reSET-O Participant surveys administered at baseline, week 4, week 8, and week 12; participant interview at follow-up

To evaluate a more global measure of engagement by combining data from secondary endpoints 3-6 A multivariate analysis of variance combining data from secondary endpoints 3-6
Exploratory

To evaluate the association between engagement with PEAR-008 compared to reSET-O and treatment outcomes (abstinence and retention) Daily and weekly use patterns; saliva (or urine drug screen for AREFa participants only) and self-report; time to dropout

To evaluate skills acquisition at week 4 and week 8 of PEAR-008 compared to reSET-O Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Skills Questionnaire

To evaluate medication adherence of PEAR-008 compared to reSET-O Saliva drug screen (or urine drug screen, for AREF participants only)
