Clinical Trial Summary

A randomized, open-label, controlled, ascending dose cohort, PK, and safety study assessing standard of care (i.e., non-pharmacologic measures and morphine when indicated) with or without lofexidine for the treatment of opioid withdrawal symptoms in neonates due to intrauterine exposure to opioids, described as neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS) or neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). This study has been designed to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of the lofexidine in neonates experiencing NOWS. The effectiveness of lofexidine on the severity of NOWS will also be evaluated. Results from this study will be used to support dosing recommendations in neonates and to inform further studies in the pediatric patient population.
