Clinical Trial Summary

Phase II, open label, partially randomized, three treatment group study designed to evaluate the steady state pharmacokinetics of buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine following repeated subcutaneous administrations of CAM2038.

Description:

This is a phase II, open label, partially randomized, three treatment group study designed to evaluate the steady state pharmacokinetics of buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine following repeated subcutaneous administrations of CAM2038 weekly and monthly at different injection sites and to evaluate the steady state pharmacokinetics of buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine after repeated subcutaneous administration of CAM2038 monthly in opioid dependent subjects with a history of chronic non cancer pain. The study will involve three phases: Screening, Treatment, and Follow up.

14. On medications that have the potential for prolonging the QT interval or who may require such medications during the course of the study along with clinically significant abnormalities on screening electrocardiogram (ECG) readings as deemed by the investigator.

15. Requires current use of agents that are strong inhibitors or inducers of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) such as some azole antifungals (e.g., ketoconazole), macrolide antibiotics (e.g., clarithromycin), or protease inhibitors (e.g., ritonavir, indinavir, and saquinavir).
