Evaluation of Long-term Buprenorphine Plasma Exposure

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Clinical Trial 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. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
