About this study
Official title: Evaluation of Long-term Buprenorphine Plasma Exposure in Subjects Who Received at Least 2 Subcutaneous (SC) Injections of Extended-release Buprenorphine (SUBLOCADE™) in Phase III Studies
The study objective is to characterise the long-term plasma exposure to buprenorphine after stopping SUBLOCADE treatment. There are no interventions planned.
This multicentre investigation will enroll participants from Study RB-US-13-0003 (NCT02510014) or both Studies RB-US-13-0003 and INDV-6000-301 (NCT02896296) and who received at least 2 subcutaneous (SC) injections of SUBLOCADE.

There are two parts to the study:
Part A consists of a single visit during which urine samples are collected to measure free buprenorphine and free norbuprenorphine concentrations; qualitative urine drug samples (UDS) for opioids, including buprenorphine; quantitative UDS for buprenorphine, norbuprenorphine and naloxone; and determination of creatinine concentration. Blood samples are collected for the determination of buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine plasma concentrations.
Results on the quantitative UDS performed in Part A determine enrollment in Part B: participants who provide a quantifiable (i.e., positive) result for buprenorphine and/or norbuprenorphine and a non-quantifiable (i.e., negative) result for naloxone meet continuation criteria to move on to Part B if Part B is still open to enrolment. Part B consists of two visits 30 days apart in which the same tests are run as were done in Part A.
Read the detailed description
Data indicate that after discontinuing SUBLOCADE patients may have detectable concentrations of buprenorphine in plasma and urine for 12 months or longer. Previous Phase II/III studies did not evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of buprenorphine beyond 2 months after the last injection; this study will characterize the long-term plasma exposure starting at least 12 months after the last injection. The study will also assess relationships between plasma drug concentrations, free drug concentrations in urine and urine drug screen (UDS) results in order to provide refined guidance to patients and physicians with respect to long-term exposure to buprenorphine after stopping SUBLOCADE treatment.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Qualitative Urinary Drug Screen (UDS) for Buprenorphine in Parts A + B
The qualitative UDS (immunoassay) is the primary test used for the initial screening for opioids in patients in clinical practice. It provides only a qualitative assessment of buprenorphine exposure (i.e., positive or negative) with a low limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 5 ng/mL. The qualitative UDS is reported for Part A Cohort (Visit 1) and Part B Cohort (Visits 1, 2 and 3).
Participants' last subcutaneous injections of extended release buprenorphine (SUBLOCADE™) was 22 - 38 months prior during previous phase III studies.
Measured: Days 1, 30, 60
Quantitative Urine Drug Screen (UDS) for Buprenorphine and Norbuprenorphine in Parts A + B
The quantitative UDS measures both buprenorphine and its glucuronide, or both norbuprenorphine and its glucuronide, with an LLOQ of 2 ng/mL. It is typically used by physicians for the confirmation of a positive result on the qualitative UDS.
Data are reported for Part A Cohort (Visit 1) and Part B Cohort (Visits 1, 2 and 3).
For Bup+Nor (abbreviation for Buprenorphine + Norbuprenorphine), the result is negative if results for both are negative, the result is positive if either result is positive. If both are missing/not available, or one is negative and the other is missing/not evaluable, the result is "Not Available"
Participants' last subcutaneous injections of extended release buprenorphine (SUBLOCADE™) was 22 - 38 months prior during previous phase III studies.
Measured: Days 1, 30, 60
Urine Free Drug Test for Buprenorphine and Norbuprenorphine in Parts A + B
The urine free drug test only measures the "free" buprenorphine and "free" norbuprenorphine (without their glucuronides) with an LLOQ of 0.02 ng/mL.
Data are reported for Part A Cohort (Visit 1) and Part B Cohort (Visits 1, 2 and 3).
For Bup+Nor (abbreviation for Buprenorphine + Norbuprenorphine), the result is negative if results for both are negative, the result is positive if either result is positive. If both are missing/not available, or one is negative and the other is missing/not evaluable, the result is "Not Available"
Participants' last subcutaneous injections of extended release buprenorphine (SUBLOCADE™) was 22 - 38 months prior during previous phase III studies.
Measured: Days 1, 30, 60
Plasma Drug Test for Buprenorphine and Norbuprenorphine in Parts A + B
A sensitive liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was used to assess the plasma exposure to buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine, its major metabolite. The LLOQ was 0.02 ng/mL for both analytes, which is much lower than the LLOQ of plasma/serum assays conducted by diagnostic laboratories.
Data are reported for Part A Cohort (Visit 1) and Part B Cohort (Visits 1, 2 and 3).
For Bup+Nor (abbreviation for Buprenorphine + Norbuprenorphine), the result is negative if results for both are negative, the result is positive if either result is positive. If both are missing/not available, or one is negative and the other is missing/not evaluable, the result is "Not Available"
Participants' last subcutaneous injections of extended release buprenorphine (SUBLOCADE™) was 22 - 38 months prior during previous phase III studies.
Measured: Days 1, 30, 60

Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 11 sites 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.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Aug 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Qualitative Urinary Drug Screen (UDS) for Buprenorphine in Parts A + B (time frame: Days 1, 30, 60). The study lists 4 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 21 Aug 2020.
