About this study

Official title: A Phase-I, Two-Stage, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Trial of Low Doses of Intravenous 6β-Naltrexol (AIKO-150) in Opioid-Dependent Subjects.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous 6β-Naltrexol administered to opiate dependent subjects

Being tested
6β-Naltrexol escalating doses from 0.05-0.5 mg IV
Keywords
Naloxone, 6β-Naltrexol, Opioid-dependent, Pharmacokinetics, peripheral effects of withdrawal, central effects of withdrawal
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • 6β-Naltrexol escalating doses from 0.05-0.5 mg IVDrug

    Also called Naloxone, 6β-Naltrexol, Lactulose

    Drug: Naloxone 0.1 mg IV/5 minutes to all subjects to determine tolerability to precipitated withdrawal during screening. Those that tolerate withdrawal proceed to Stage 1:

    Drug: Lactulose 10 gm orally plus 3 IV infusions 30 minutes apart of Naloxone 0.1 mg IV and 2 placebo given randomly to all subjects. If tolerated, proceed to 5 additional medication dosing sessions with all subjects receiving oral Lactulose 10 GM plus IV escalating 6β-Naltrexol 0.05 mg, 0.15 mg, 0.5 mg with a randomized placebo.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. - 6β-Naltrexol will have 13 hr half-life. Plasma collected

    Measured: -0-24 hrs post dose

  2. - 6β-Naltrexol pharmacokinetic profile in opioid-dependent population will be similar in non-opioid-dependent population. Plasma levels collected

    Measured: 0-8 hrs post dose

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. -6β-Naltrexol will have a lower potency in precipitating withdrawal and be better tolerated than Naloxone assessed by vital signs, objective/subjective ate Withdrawal Scales, Visual Analog Scales, Pupil Size and GI Motility measures

    Measured: 0-8 hrs post dose

  2. 6β-Naltrexol dose-dependent increases to reverse methadone-induced bowel dysfunction. Plasma levels and Hydrogen Breath Tests

    Measured: 0-8 hrs post dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing 6β-Naltrexol escalating doses from 0.05-0.5 mg IV in people with Opiate Addiction, run by California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 16 Sep 2009. 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?

- 6β-Naltrexol will have 13 hr half-life. Plasma collected (time frame: -0-24 hrs post dose). 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 16 Sep 2009.
