Clinical Details
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.
Study design: Treatment, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver), Placebo Control, Single Group Assignment, Pharmacokinetics/Dynamics Study
Primary outcome: - 6β-Naltrexol will have 13 hr half-life. Plasma collected- 6β-Naltrexol pharmacokinetic profile in opioid-dependent population will be similar in non-opioid-dependent population. Plasma levels collected
Secondary outcome: -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 measures6β-Naltrexol dose-dependent increases to reverse methadone-induced bowel dysfunction. Plasma levels and Hydrogen Breath Tests
