Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To show a significant effect of buprenorphine vs. placebo for the treatment of suicidal ideas at Day 7, and assess the most effective dosage (0.4mg vs. 0.8mg) of buprenorphine.;Secondary Objective: 1) Efficacy: A- To show maintenance of a significant effect of buprenorphine on suicidal ideas, on psychological pain and a mediating effect of psychological pain C- To determine the effect of buprenorphine on depressive symptoms (excluding suicidal ideas and psychological pain). D- To determine the treatment arm with the lowest number of discontinuations for inefficiency according to the patient E- To determine the number of suicide attempts or completed suicides during follow-up 2) Tolerance: A- To determine the dose of buprenorphine with the best tolerance profile from D0 to D14 and the frequency of withdrawal symptoms from D14 to D21 for each dose. 3) Mechanisms: To determine the physiological mechanisms of psychological pain and suicidal ideation, response to buprenorphine treatment in terms of: A- Neuropsychological processes. B. Brain processes. C- To create a biobank ;Primary end point(s): Scores on the Scale for Suicidal Ideation;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: DAY 7
