Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect, pharmacokinetics and dose proportionality of buprenorphine when administered to non-dependent opiate users. 1) To evaluate whether plasma concentrations of buprenorphine increase proportionally to buprenorphine dose. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 21 to 45 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Be male or female of any race, between 21 and 45 years of age.
  • Weigh within 15% of ideal body weight for height according to the current life insurance table.
  • Be in good physical and mental health as judged by interview and physical examination.
  • Have no significant oral cavity pathology including excessive caries, gingivitis, infectious or inflammatory disease, or recent piercing of the oral cavity.
  • Be experienced in illicit use of opiates but not be physically dependent on opiates and other drugs (except nicotine or caffeine) at the time of the study. A history of other psychoactive drug use is acceptable but preference will be for subjects reporting less frequent and more controlled illicit drug use.
  • For female subjects, test nonpregnant and use adequate birth control, and not be lactating.
  • Be capable of providing written informed consent to participate in this study.
  • Be able to comply with protocol requirements and be likely to complete all four study treatments.

Who cannot join

  • Have a diagnosis of drug addiction (other than nicotine, caffeine, and opiate) as per DSM-IV criteria.
  • Have any significant, active medical or psychiatric illnesses (other than drug dependence) which might inhibit their ability to complete the study or might be complicated by administration of study medications.
  • Have clinically significant abnormal laboratory measurements in liver function tests (AST and ALT levels greater than 3 times the upper limit of normal), hematology (CBC, differential, platelet count), serum chemistries (SMA-24) and urinalysis at screening.
  • Test positive on the HIV blood screen.
  • Have a history of significant hepatic, renal, endocrine, cardiac, nervous, psychiatric, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, hematologic or metabolic disorders.
  • Have known hypersensitivity to buprenorphine and its derivatives or opiates or opiate-like analgesics.
Show all 9Show fewer
  • Receive any medications for medical conditions.
  • Have any condition or history considered by the investigator(s) to place the subjects at increased risk.
  • Do not actively meet the inclusion criteria at the time of screening.

About this study

Official title: PK 0396 - Buprenorphine Dose Escalation Trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect, pharmacokinetics and dose proportionality of buprenorphine when administered to non-dependent opiate users. 1) To evaluate whether plasma concentrations of buprenorphine increase proportionally to buprenorphine dose. 2) To evaluate the dose-response of subjective and physiological effects of buprenorphine; and 3) To determine the safety of buprenorphine.

Read the detailed description

This will be an open-label, single dose-escalation trial. A total of 24 opiate experienced, but not dependent subjects will receive four ascending doses of buprenorphine, 4, 8, 16, and 24 mg, respectively, with an at least a 14 day washout interval between treatments. The four treatments are sublingual administration of:

  1. two 2-mg buprenorphine sublingual tablets,
  2. one 8-mg buprenorphine sublingual tablet,
  3. two 8-mg buprenorphine sublingual tablets; and
  4. three 8-mg buprenorphine sublingual tablets.

The dose proportionality in plasma profiles of buprenorphine and dose response of the buprenorphine sublingual tablets are evaluated at buprenorphine dose range of 4 to 24 mg.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Buprenorphine in people with Opioid-Related Disorders and Substance-Related Disorders, run by National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

PK parameters of buprenorphine. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Jan 2017.
